rdh_theory: Calculate metric based on geometric plane equation

In habtools: Tools and Metrics for 3D Surfaces and Objects

Calculate metric based on geometric plane equation

Description

Calculates either rugosity, fractal dimension or height range based on the other two variables.

Usage

rdh_theory(R, D, H, L, L0)

Arguments

R, D, H	Two of the three variables to calculate the third.
L	Extent.
L0	Resolution.

Details

This function uses the geometric plane equation from Torres-Pulliza et al. (2020) to calculate one of rugosity, fractal dimension or height range based on the other two variables.

Value

A value corresponding one of the three variables not given to the function.
