Description

Calculates the mean summit curvature of a raster or matrix. Mean summit curvature is the average principle curvature of local maximas on the surface.

Usage

ssc(x)

Arguments

x

A raster or matrix.

Value

A numeric value representing the average curvature of surface peaks.

Examples

# import raster image
data(normforest)
normforest <- terra::unwrap(normforest)

# calculate mean summit curvature
Ssc <- ssc(normforest)
