Compute the box dimension structural complexity index for a given point cloud. — boxdim • coi

Calculate the box dimension as described in Seidel et al. (2018)

Usage

boxdim(cloud, threshold, vox_res = NULL, warnings = TRUE)

Arguments

cloud: Point cloud as a matrix-like object.
threshold: The lower resolution threshold until which the box dimension algorithm iterates
vox_res: Numeric of the resolution for voxelization. If left undefined (default), the raw cloud will be analzed, which should only be done if the cloud has been voxelized before independently.
warnings: Logical controlling whether to display a warning when vox_res is left undefined. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A numeric representing the box dimension.

Examples

sphere <- gen_sphere(1, 0.01, c(0, 0, 0))
boxdim(sphere, 0.1, 0.05)
#> [1] 2.41
