Curvature

サマリー

Displays the shape or curvature of the slope, which can be concave or convex and can be understood from the curvature value. The curvature is calculated by computing the second derivative of the surface.

説明

For more information about how this function works, see the Curvature raster function.

The referenced raster dataset for the raster object is temporary. To make it permanent, you can call the raster object's save method.

Curvature (raster, curvature_type, {z_factor})
パラメーター説明データ タイプ
raster

The input raster dataset.

Raster
curvature_type

The curvature type accentuates different aspects of the slope.

  • standardCombines the profile and planform curvatures.
  • planformIs perpendicular to the direction of the maximum slope. It affects the convergence and divergence of flow across a surface.
  • profile Is parallel to the slope and indicates the direction of maximum slope. It affects the acceleration and deceleration of flow across the surface.

String
z_factor

The z-factor is a scaling factor used to convert the elevation values for two purposes:

  • To convert the elevation units (such as meters or feet) to the horizontal coordinate units of the dataset, which may be feet, meters, or degrees.
  • To add vertical exaggeration for visual effect.

If the x,y units and z units are in the same units of measure, the z-factor should be set to 1. The z-values of the input surface are multiplied by the z-factor when calculating the final output surface.
