rrate: relief rate

In doolkit: Exploration of Dental Surface Topography

relief rate

Description

Compute the relief rate from a sub-sample of a 3d triangle mesh. For instance, the relief rate could be computed from the portion of a molar above the lowermost point of its central basin, compared to the whole tooth.

Usage

rrate(uncropped, cropped, origin = TRUE)

Arguments

uncropped	object of class mesh3d. Should entirely contain the 'cropped' argument.
cropped	object of class mesh3d. Should be part of the 'uncropped' argument.
origin	logical, if TRUE both cropped and uncropped mesh are translated along the z-axis so that the lowest z of the uncropped mesh = 0; see dkorigin

Value

A single relief rate value.

Examples

medelev <- median(elev(dkmodel$cusp))
basins <- dkcrop(dkmodel$cusp, which(elev(dkmodel$cusp) < medelev))
cusps <- dkcrop(dkmodel$cusp, which(elev(dkmodel$cusp) > medelev))

rrate(dkmodel$cusp, basins)
rrate(dkmodel$cusp, cusps)
