The coefficient of variation of fractal dimension index of all patches in each class(vector data)

This function allows you to calculate the coefficient of variation of fractal dimension index of all patches belonging to class i in a categorical landscape in vector data format The index is based on the patch perimeter and the patch area and describes the patch complexity

vm_c_frac_cv(landscape, class_col)

Arguments

landscape

the input landscape image,

class_col

the name of the class column of the input landscape

Value

the returned calculated coefficient of variation of each class is in column "value", and this function returns also some important information such as level, class number and metric name. Moreover, the "id" column, although it is just NA here at class level. we need it because the output struture of metrics at class level should correspond to patch level one by one, and then it is more convinient to combine metric values at different levels and compare them.

Examples

vm_c_frac_cv(vector_landscape, "class")
#> # A tibble: 3 × 5
#>   level class id    metric  value
#>   <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>   <dbl>
#> 1 class 1     NA    frac_cv    NA
#> 2 class 2     NA    frac_cv    NA
#> 3 class 3     NA    frac_cv    NA
