Estimate the area of multiple overlapping ellipses
1 | areaEstimator(sitemap, fieldarea, precision = 1000)
|
sitemap |
a matrix with sites per row and columns:
|
fieldarea |
vector with dimensions of field surveyed in km: |
precision |
how many dots will be projected of field. Total dots equal |
This function will estimate the area occupied by sites (ellipses) in a rectangular
field, taking into consideration the fact that sites can overlap. It is formatted to be used inside
fieldMap()
.
This function is a cookie-cutter area estimator, given the complexities of calculating the real areas of overlapping ellipses. It projects N x N equally spaced dots in the survey field and calculates the ratio of how many of them fall inside at least one site (ellipse). Using a precision of 1000 x 1000 dots, it approximates area to within 0.1% of real area.
The rate of points that are inside at least one ellipse divided by all points projected in the area.
