lsm_c_circle_sd: CIRCLE_SD (Class level)

Description

Standard deviation of related circumscribing circle (Shape metric)

Usage

lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions)

# S3 method for RasterLayer lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions = 8)

# S3 method for RasterStack lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions = 8)

# S3 method for RasterBrick lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions = 8)

# S3 method for stars lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions = 8)

# S3 method for list lsm_c_circle_sd(landscape, directions = 8)

Arguments

landscape

Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick or a list of rasterLayers.

directions

The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).

Value

tibble

Details

$$CIRCLE_{SD} = sd(CIRCLE[patch_{ij}])$$ where \(CIRCLE[patch_{ij}]\) is the related circumscribing circle of each patch.

CIRCLE_SD is a 'Shape metric' and summarises each class as the standard deviation of the related circumscribing circle of all patches belonging to class i. CIRCLE describes the ratio between the patch area and the smallest circumscribing circle of the patch and characterises the compactness of the patch. The metric describes the differences among patches of the same class i in the landscape.

Units

None

Range

CIRCLE_SD >= 0

Behaviour

Equals CIRCLE_SD if the related circumscribing circle is identical for all patches. Increases, without limit, as the variation of related circumscribing circles increases.
