NIPD function

Number of immediate adjacent cells flowing into each cell

Compute the number of immediate adjacent cells flowing into each cell methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
NIDP(x, filename="",...)

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster with flow-direction. see terrain
• filename: character. Output filename
• ...: additional arguments for writing files as in writeRaster

Returns

SpatRaster

Details

NDIP is computed first to compute flow-accumulation with the algorithm by Zhou at al, 2019.

Examples

elev1 <- array(NA,c(9,9))
elev2 <- elev1
dx <- 1
dy <- 1 
for (r in 1:nrow(elev1)) {
  y <- (r-5)*dx
  for (c in 1:ncol(elev1)) {
    
    x <- (c-5)*dy
    elev1[r,c] <- 5*(x^2+y^2)
    elev2[r,c] <- 10+5*(abs(x))-0.001*y ### 5*(x^2+y^2)
  }
} 

## Elevation Raster 
elev1 <- rast(elev1)
elev2 <- rast(elev2)

t(array(elev1[],rev(dim(elev1)[1:2])))
t(array(elev2[],rev(dim(elev2)[1:2])))

plot(elev1)
plot(elev2)

## Flow Direction Raster
flowdir1<- terrain(elev1,v="flowdir")
flowdir2<- terrain(elev2,v="flowdir")

t(array(flowdir1[],rev(dim(flowdir1)[1:2])))
t(array(flowdir2[],rev(dim(flowdir2)[1:2])))

plot(flowdir1)
plot(flowdir2)

## 
nidp1 <- NIDP((flowdir1))
nidp2 <- NIDP((flowdir2))

t(array(nidp1[],rev(dim(nidp1)[1:2])))
t(array(nidp2[],rev(dim(nidp2)[1:2])))

plot(nidp1)
plot(nidp2)
