A matrix or dataframe of xyz coordinates. |
The crown radius is the distance from the centre of the plant to the furthest leaf in that direction. This distance is found for four directions (corresponding to the four quadrants). The centre of the plant is found from the average x,y coordinate (and may thus differ from the 'stem' location).
Returns only the mean crown radius of the four quadrants.
