sda: Filter track for speed, distance and angle.

In trip: Tracking Data

Filter track for speed, distance and angle.

Description

Create a filter index of a track for "bad" points with a combination of speed, distance and angle tests.

Usage

sda(x, smax, ang = c(15, 25), distlim = c(2.5, 5), pre = NULL)

Arguments

x	trip object
smax	maximum speed, in km/h
ang	minimum turning angle/s in degrees
distlim	maximum step lengths in km
pre	include this filter in the removal

Details

This is an independent implementation from that in the package argosfilter by Freitas 2008.

Value

logical vector, with FALSE values where the tests failed
