group_shape {swaRmverse}

Group Shape Based on a OOBB

Description

Calculates how oblong the shape of a group is, relative to its average moving direction, along with the properties of the minimum object oriented bounding box (OOBB) around all objects.

Usage

group_shape(x, y, hs, geo = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A vector of x (or longitude) coordinates.

y

A vector of y (or latitude) coordinates.

hs

A vector of headings of the objects (in degrees).

geo

A logical value indicating whether the locations are defined by geographic coordinates (pairs of longitude/latitude values). Default: FALSE.

Value

A list with the estimate of how oblong the group is, and the details of the bounding box, i.e. its coordinates, height, width, and orientation of its longest side in degrees.
