Generate Poisson Random Line Process
Generate a random pattern of line segments obtained from the Poisson line process.
Usage
rpoisline(lambda, win=owin())
Arguments
- lambda
- Intensity of the Poisson line process. A positive number.
- win
- Window in which to simulate the pattern.
An object of class
"owin"
or something acceptable toas.owin
. Currently, the window must be a rectangle.
Details
This algorithm generates a realisation
of the uniform Poisson line process, and clips it to the window
win
.
The argument lambda
must be a positive number.
It controls the intensity of the process. The expected number of
lines intersecting a convex region of the plane is equal to
lambda
times the perimeter length of the region.
The expected total length of the lines crossing a region of the plane
is equal to lambda * pi
times the area of the region.
Value
- A line segment pattern (an object of class
"psp"
).
