Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples
Calculates the area and volume of material classes for each CT slice in a directory. This version accommodates calibration curves with >4 calibrants, and uses density thresholds converted to Hounsfield Units using the calibration curve (rather than direct calibration rod values) to partition sediment components.

directory |
a character string that can be a matrix of DICOM images or the address of an individual DICOM file in a folder of DICOM images. The default action is <code>file.choose()</code>; a browser menu appears so the user can select the the desired directory by identifying a single DICOM file in the folder of images. |
upperLim |
upper bound cutoff for pixels (Hounsfield Units) |
lowerLim |
lower bound cutoff for pixels (Hounsfield Units) |
means |
mean values (units = Hounsfield Units) for calibration rods used. |
sds |
standard deviations (units = Hounsfield Units) for calibration rods used. Must be in the same order as |
densities |
numeric vector of known cal rod densities. Format must be c(air, water, Si, glass) |
rootData |
if TRUE, |
diameter.classes |
if rootData is TRUE, this argument provides an integer vector of diameter cut points used by |
class.names |
placeholder, not used presently |
pixel.minimum |
minimum number of pixels needed for a clump to be identified as a root |
Calculates the area and volume of material classes for each CT slice in a directory. Unlike conv
, convDir
accepts a folder of raw values and makes the conversion to Hounsfield Units using the metadata associated with the DICOM images.
value convertDir
returns a dataframe with one row per CT slice. Values returned are the area and volume of seven material classes: gas, peat, roots and rhizomes, rock and shell, fine mineral particles, sand, and water. If rootData = TRUE
, the output will also contain data on the abundance (number of particles), volume (cm3), and external surface area (cm2) of the root size classes specified in the diameter.classes
argument.
convertDir
is a wrapper for convert
. getRootsDir
operates similarly.
