Landscape heterogeneity index

Hi, bro,could you add a new index(Landscape heterogeneity index)?Below are the titles and links of the literature：
A Novel Method for Measuring Landscape Heterogeneity Changes(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269725687_A_Novel_Method_for_Measuring_Landscape_Heterogeneity_Changes?_iepl%5BgeneralViewId%5D=9IgR9aKeGo0LkExoo2ZM1zDSbSWOYxqdFEnN&_iepl%5Bcontexts%5D%5B0%5D=searchReact&_iepl%5BviewId%5D=tHTRtmiGNbDr6ig5ofqnOOswZt5T3S9Ahpz3&_iepl%5BsearchType%5D=publication&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BcountLessEqual20%5D=1&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BinteractedWithPosition1%5D=1&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5BwithoutEnrichment%5D=1&_iepl%5Bposition%5D=1&_iepl%5BrgKey%5D=PB%3A269725687&_iepl%5BtargetEntityId%5D=PB%3A269725687&_iepl%5BinteractionType%5D=publicationTitle)
Good luck！
Cheers
Before we invest time and effort to research if it is possible to implement, please let us know:
- what are you planning to use the index for?
- why you can't / don't want to use one of the existing indices instead?
Best,

Hey,
I just read the paper quickly and it seems like the LHI is based on numerical (i.e. continuous) values for each cell (even though they work with a binary map of change vs. non-change). However, the landscapemetrics package is designed for categorical (i.e. discrete) values for each cell.
So, at this point, the LHI is not within the scope of this package and thus won't be implemented, unfortunately, as far as I can see.
