“…Algorithms that aim to measure environmental heterogeneity through remote sensing data can rely on the moving window technique, which divides remotely sensed imagery into user-defined squares (windows) to derive measures of heterogeneity. Examples are included in the rasterdiv R package (Rocchini et al, 2021b). One of the most used metrics included in the package is the Shannon entropy index H (Shannon, 1948):…”

“…Therefore, the use of generalized entropies, where one single formula represents a parameterized version of an index, provides a continuum of heterogeneity metrics reflecting all the characteristics of the heterogeneity spectrum. Rocchini et al (2021b) presented a parametric version of Rao's Q allowing the characterization of the dimensionality of heterogeneity in different ecosystems:…”

“…There was a higher positive correlation between the entropy, dissimilarity, and contrast metrics, which were negatively correlated with homogeneity and second moment [82]. We calculated several diversity indices from the land-cover classifications using the 'rasterDiv' package [65]; namely, Shannon's Diversity [66], Pielou's Evenness [67], the Berger-Parker Index [68], Cumulative Residual Entropy [70], Rao's quadratic entropy [69], Hill's number [71], and Rényi's index [83]. The window size was also 10 m × 10 m (or 108 × 108 pixels), corresponding to the size of the plots.…”

“…In particular, the main objective is to test different LiDAR datasets, metrics and heterogeneity indices at different spatial resolutions and MW, in order to understand which is the best combination of data that can define the above mentioned relationships. In order to test all these combinations, we decided to relay on the recent R rasterdiv package [42] developed by Rocchini et al [43]. It is a new R package that, to date, has never been tested with remote sensing data having field data as validation.…”
