Diameter at breast height TreeQSM

Source: R/basic_metrics_qsm.R
DBH_qsm.Rd

Extracts the DBH from the treedata of a TreeQSM.

Usage

dbh_qsm(treedata)

Arguments

treedata

Treedata field of a TreeQSM that is returned by read_tree_qsm.

Value

The DBH of the TreeQSM in meters.

Details

The DBH is calculated as the diameter of the cylinder in the QSM at the right height (cylinder at 1.3 m). If the trunk was modeled with triangulation the DBH is calculated as mean length of the diagonals in the triangulation.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Read tree qsm and extract DBH
qsm <- read_tree_qsm(QSM_path = "path/to/qsm.mat")
dbh <- dbh_qsm(treedata = qsm$treedata)
}
