Clean management units (UG) by correcting minor inconsistencies in the UA sf object

ua_clean_ug.Rd

Detects and corrects minor inconsistencies within management units (UG) in UA. Lines with small surfaces relative to their UG are updated to match the dominant description.

Usage

ua_clean_ug(ua, atol = 0.5, rtol = 0.1)

Arguments

ua

sf object containing analysis units; with at least the UG identifier field and relevant attribute fields.

atol

Absolute tolerance for surface correction (default 0.50 ha).

rtol

Relative tolerance for surface correction within a UG (default 10%).

Value

An sf object identical to ua, with minor inconsistent lines corrected and an additional logical column ug_valid indicating UG consistency.

Details

The function works by:

  1. Checking UG consistency with ua_check_ug().

  2. Identifying the dominant row per UG (largest total surface).

  3. Correcting rows that differ from the dominant description and whose surface is smaller than atol and represents less than rtol of UG total.

  4. Returning the corrected UA and rechecking inconsistencies.
