runSensorFenceR: runSensorFenceR

In stevescherrer/sensorFenceR: Automate placement of Static Sensors in a marine environment along a linear transect

Description

This Function Places Static Sensors Along a Linear Transect

Usage

runSensorFenceR(bathymetry = NULL, fenceStart = NULL, fenceEnd = NULL,
  upperDepthLimit = NULL, lowerDepthLimit = NULL, heightOfSensor = NULL,
  minimumDetectionThreshold = NULL, halfOfminimumDetectionThreshold = NULL,
  numberOfSensorsToPlace = NULL, minimumFenceHeight = 150,
  swimSpeedOfStudySpecies = 0.5, plot_results = TRUE)

Arguments

bathymetry	Inherited from the parent function
fenceStart	Inherited from the parent function
fenceEnd	Inherited from the parent function
upperDepthLimit	The shallowest depth at which to place a sensor. Note, depth is a negative number.
lowerDepthLimit	The deepest depth at which to place a sensor. Note, depth is a negative number.
heightOfSensor	The distance off the bottom (in meters) that the sensor is positioned
minimumDetectionThreshold	The radius (in meters) from the sensor where 1/2 of the minimum acceptable detection range is achieved. This is generally determined through range testing.
halfOfminimumDetectionThreshold	The radius (in meters) from the sensor where 1/2 of the minimum acceptable detection range is achieved. For example, if the minimum allowable detection percentage is 50%, this would be the distance from the sensor at which the detection threshold is 25%. This is typically determined from range testing.
numberOfSensorsToPlace	The number of sensors available from which to construct the fence line (integer)
minimumFenceHeight	The height (m) off the seafloor that a transmisson must be detectable. Leave NULL if not specified.
swimSpeedOfStudySpecies	# The speed at which the transmitter may cross the sensor fence (m/s)

Examples

runSensorFenceR(numberOfSensorsToPlace = 10, fenceStart = c(-157.68330, 21.28333), fenceEnd = c(-157.53330, 21.41667), upperDepthLimit = -100, lowerDepthLimit = -500, minimumDetectionThreshold = 500, halfOfminimumDetectionThreshold = 650, minimumFenceHeight = 100, swimSpeedOfStudySpecies = .5)
