wbt_visibility_index {whitebox}

Visibility index

Description

Estimates the relative visibility of sites in a DEM.

Usage

wbt_visibility_index(
  dem,
  output,
  height = 2,
  res_factor = 2,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dem

Input raster DEM file.

output

Output raster file.

height

Viewing station height, in z units.

res_factor

The resolution factor determines the density of measured viewsheds.

wd

Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.

verbose_mode

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.

compress_rasters

Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.

command_only

Return command that would be executed by system() rather than running tool. Default: FALSE.

Value
