Percentage_inside column shows some values far from 100%
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I am trying to get the landscape metrics corresponding to a set of firescars, using a landcover raster and a firescar shape. The total wildfire data set encompasses around 1,000 fire scars, represented by polygons obtained through Google Earth Engine. When calculating the metrics, several polygons with values far from 100% appear in the percentage_inside column. Searching I found this:
The size of the actual sampled landscape in %. It is not always 100% due to two reasons: (i) Clipping raster cells using a buffer not directly intersecting a raster cell center lead to inaccuracies and (ii) Sample plots can exceed the landscape boundary
In this case I think it is something related to the first reason. Is there any way I can fix this in R or Arcgis? or should I just skip these polygons and just keep those with values closer to 100%?
Thanks in advance!
(in the example a firescar is shown with 75%, but I have others with even lower values)
I think there is not really a way we can change that unfortunately. So I would suggest to skip the ones that are too far off from 100%
@mhesselbarth I think I'll do that u.u, thanks for answering Max
