The Structural Similarity Index Measure for Maps
Overview
Extends the classical SSIM method proposed by 'Wang', 'Bovik', 'Sheikh', and 'Simoncelli'(2004) doi:10.1109/TIP.2003.819861. for irregular lattice-based maps and raster images. The geographical SSIM method incorporates well-developed 'geographically weighted summary statistics'('Brunsdon', 'Fotheringham' and 'Charlton' 2002) doi:10.1016/S0198-9715(01)00009-6 with an adaptive bandwidth kernel function for irregular lattice-based maps.
Major changes
ssim_bandwidth(): redesigned withtransform,optionarguments and bias-variance trade-off plots.ssim_polygon()andssim_raster(): added permutation testing (do_test,R,fdr,alpha,seed) and FDR-corrected local p-values.
Breaking changes
- Removed
ssim_constant(). Constantsk1andk2are now arguments ofssim_polygon().
New data
- Added
Toronto_SSIM,fwi_0816_bc,fwi_0818_bc,fwi_1101_bc.
New data
- Added
Toronto_SSIM(sf polygon object). - Added
fwi_0816_bc,fwi_0818_bc,fwi_1101_bc(packed terra rasters of BC Fire Weather Index for Aug 16, Aug 18, and Nov 1, 2023).
