calculate_pixel_fractions_single_polygon: Calculate fractional pixels in a polygon

Description

Calculate the fraction of each pixel's area that falls within a single polygon

Usage

calculate_pixel_fractions_single_polygon(polygon, id_raster, polygon_id = NULL)

Value

data.table containing two or three columns:

• pixel_id: unique pixel ID from the ID raster

• area_fraction: fraction of the pixel area falling within this polygon

• polygon_id (optional): If polygon_id was defined, it is added to the table

Arguments

polygon

terra::SpatVector object of length 1. The polygon to calculate fractional areas across.

id_raster

terra::SpatRaster object. ID raster created for the set of all polygons to be considered, created by build_id_raster().

polygon_id

(optional). ID for this polygon. Must have length 1.

Details

This is a helper function called by build_aggregation_table().
