Alpha crown area TreeQSM — crown_area_alpha

Extracts the alpha crown area from the treedata of a TreeQSM. This is calculated during the TreeQSM process as the area (m$^2$) of the crown's planar projection's alpha shape.

Usage

crown_area_alpha_qsm(treedata)

Arguments

treedata: Treedata field of a TreeQSM that is returned by read_tree_qsm.

Value

The alpha crown area of the TreeQSM in square meters.

Examples

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