NAME
r.li.mpa - Calculates mean pixel attribute index on a raster map
KEYWORDS
raster, landscape structure analysis, patch index
SYNOPSIS
r.li.mpa
r.li.mpa --help
r.li.mpa input=name config=name output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of input raster map
config=name [required]
Configuration file
output=name [required]
Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION
r.li.mpa (mean pixel attribute) calculates the average value of the attribute of all the non-null cells in the sampling area as:
with:
o i: attribute
o m: number of non-null attributes in the sampling area
o wi: number of cells of attribute i
o size: size of sampling area (in cells)
NOTES
Do not use absolute path names for the config and output file/map parameters. If the "moving window" method was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
If the input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.mpa considers to have 0 patches.
If area is 0 r.li.mpa returns -1; it is possible only if the raster is masked
If you want to change these -1 values to NULL, run subsequently on the resulting map:
r.null setnull=-1 input=my_map
after index calculation.
EXAMPLES
To calculate the mean pixel attribute index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file (previously defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in my_out, run:
r.li.mpa input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
r.li.mpa input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_mpa_mov7
r.univar forests_mpa_mov7
Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
r.li.mpa input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_mpa_mov7
# verify
r.univar forests_mpa_mov7
r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
d.mon wx0
