raster_conduct: Create a conductance raster
In bsmity13/ADePTR: Acoustic Detection Processing and Visualization Tool in R

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Creates a conductance raster for the study area for use in calculating least cost paths between two locations.

1	raster_conduct(sa_rast, impassable, impassable_value = 100)

`sa_rast`	A `RasterLayer` object on which to calculate conductance.
`impassable`	An `sfc_POLYGON` object that contains land or other impassable terrain.
`impassable_value`	A resistance value to assign to the `impassable` cells of the raster. This should be a large number to ensure the animal will not cross the impassable sections. The function will convert it from a resistance to a conductance.

This function takes a RasterLayer as a template and an sfc_POLYGON and returns another RasterLayer of conductance. This conductance raster is intended to be passed downstream for calculation of least cost paths between animal locations.

Returns a RasterLayer object of conductance values.

#Load sample data
data(acoustic)

#Initialize raster
r.cond <- init_raster(study_area = acoustic$study_area, res = 0.001)

#Create conductance raster
conduct <- raster_conduct(sa_rast = r.cond, impassable = acoustic$land)

#Plot
plot(conductance)
plot(acoustic$study_area, add = TRUE)
plot(acoustic$land, add = TRUE, col = NA)
