k.coefficient {leafR}

Calculate k coefficient provided a known real LAI and the calculated LAI

Description

Calculate k coefficient provided a known real LAI and the calculated LAI

Usage

k.coefficient(lidar.lai, real.lai = 6)

Arguments

lidar.lai

the output from lai() function

real.lai

numeric, known real LAI

Value

A numeric with the calculate value for k coefficient for calibrating the real LAI from calculated LAI.

Examples

normlas.file = system.file("extdata", "lidar_example.laz", package="leafR")

# Calculate LAD from voxelization
VOXELS_LAD = lad.voxels(normlas.file,
                        grain.size = 2)

# Calculate the LAD profile
lad_profile = lad.profile(VOXELS_LAD)

# Calculate LAI derived from LAD profile
lidar.lai = lai(lad_profile); lidar.lai

# The real LAI was measured in the field work for validation
k.coefficient(lidar.lai,  real.lai = 6)
