AMAPVox is an R package that embeds a Java Desktop Application. The Java part of AMAPVox is distributed as a set of JAR files (Java Archives) and is not included by default in the R package to keep it light. The R package handles the download of the JARs and manages multiple versions for the end user.
Operating system: Windows (7 or above), Linux-based, Mac OS X. 64-Bit.
Java: For AMAPVox v2 or above, Java is embedded with AMAPVox binaries. For AMAPVox v1 the system requires Java 1.8 64-Bit with JavaFX. In practice either Java 1.8 64-Bit Oracle or Java 1.8 64-Bit Corretto.
CPU: one required but multi-core CPU recommended for multithreading execution.
RAM: 1GB is enough for running the sample case. It will greatly depends on the dimension of the voxel space and the size of the LiDAR scans.
OpenGL: Version 3 or higher, for visualization only.
