Changelog for v1.0.4 Added a new “Compute LAI & VCI” processing tool: Reads an ASCII point-cloud (X/Y/Z) file and divides it into 20 m grid cells. For each grid cell, calculates: LAI (Leaf Area Index) by summing log-ratio values (LAD) across vertical layers above a 3 m canopy threshold. VCI (Vertical Complexity Index) as the coefficient of variation of 1 m-bin histograms of canopy returns. Outputs a CSV file with columns: cell-center Y (yg), cell-center X (xg), LAI, VCI. Creates two separate heatmaps: LAI.PNG (showing grid-cell LAI values) VCI.PNG (showing grid-cell VCI values) Updated the main plugin registration (geobiotool.py): Imported and registered GeoBioToolLAIVCIAlgorithm. Removed the obsolete geobiotool_height_matrix_algorithm.py reference (no longer required). Updated metadata (metadata.txt): Bumped version to 1.0.4. Updated description, about, and tags to include “LAI” and “VCI”.
