gridStatsLevel2BVPM: Compute Grids with Descriptive Statistics of GEDI derived Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics (Level2B)

Description

This function computes a series of user defined descriptive statistics within each grid cell for GEDI derived Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics (Level2B)

Usage

gridStatsLevel2BVPM(level2BVPM, func, res)

Arguments

level2BVPM

A GEDI Level2AM object (output of getLevel2BVPM function). An S4 object of class "data.table".

func

The function(s) to be applied to each cell

res

Spatial resolution in decimal degrees for the output raster layer

Value

Returns a raster layer(s) of selected GEDI Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metric(s)
