Add tool for fractal dimension
scw opened this issue · comments
Fractal dimension is a frequently used tool for users who are generating covariates for the purposes of habitat prediction and modeling. A one-pass version can be computed as:
Where D is the output value, and S is slope in degrees.
This problem is best solved using FFTs, which aren't directly available, but we could do this with numpy arrays. There's a nice write-up of this approach on GIS.SE.
Pittman has also used FocalD for this.
