Roughness index(vector data)

Source: R/vm_l_rough_mn.R

Calculate Roughness index (RI)

Usage

vm_l_rough_mn(landscape, n = 100)

Arguments

landscape

the input landscape image,

n

number of boundary points to generate

Value

the function returns tibble with the calculated values in column "value", this function returns also some important information such as level, class, patch id and metric name.

Details

Mean roughness across all patches in the landscape. Roughness quantifies shape irregularity by measuring the variance in distances from boundary points to the centroid, normalized by area and perimeter. Higher values indicate more irregular, complex boundaries.
