dd.canopy: Nearest Canopy Pixel Distance and Direction from Plot Center

In adam-erickson/gapfraction: Functions for processing airborne LiDAR scans of forests

Description

This function calculates the distance and direction to the nearest canopy pixel from the plot center

Usage

dd.canopy(chm = NA, thresh.val = 1.25, degrees = FALSE, from = FALSE)

Arguments

chm	Name of the CHM raster object output from a CHM function with stacked=FALSE. Defaults to NA.
thresh.val	Threshold value used for minimum canopy height. Defaults to 1.
degrees	Boolean switch for the output of direction values in degrees rather than radians. Defaults to FALSE.
from	Boolean switch for the output of direction values from nearest crowns rather than to nearest crowns. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

The results of dd.canopy
