diffLCK {DRIP} | R Documentation |
local constant kernel difference
Description
Compute difference between two one-sided LCK estimators along the gradient direction.
Usage
diffLCK(image, bandwidth, plot)
Arguments
image |
A square matrix object of size n by n, no missing value allowed. |
bandwidth |
A positive integer to specify the number of pixels used in the local smoothing. |
plot |
If plot = TRUE, an image of the difference at each pixel is plotted. |
Details
At each pixel, the gradient is estimated by a local linear
kernel smoothing procedure. Next, the local neighborhood is
divided into two halves along the direction perpendicular to
(\widehat{f}'_{x}
, \widehat{f}'_{y}
). Then the one-
sided local constant kernel (LCK) estimates are obtained in the
two half neighborhoods respectively.
Value
Returns a matrix of the estimated difference, |\widehat{f}_+ - \widehat{f}_-|
,
at each pixel.
