Repair spatially overlapping adjacent putative clusters

Source: R/2_repair.R
spatial_repair.Rd

Iteratively merges temporally adjacent putative clusters whose convex hulls intersect. This operates on the .putative_cluster column created by slice_ctdf() and updates it in-place.

Usage

spatial_repair(ctdf, time_contiguity = TRUE)

Arguments

ctdf

A ctdf object. Must contain .putative_cluster (typically produced by slice_ctdf()).

time_contiguity

Logical; if TRUE, enforce temporal contiguity within clusters by filling internal gaps as described above. Default is TRUE.

Value

The input ctdf, invisibly, with .putative_cluster updated in-place.

Details

If time_contiguity = TRUE, missing .putative_cluster values between identical forward- and backward-filled labels are filled, so each cluster becomes temporally contiguous (short spatial outliers inside a cluster are absorbed).
