Using local saturation

Load the model “simulate_deforestation_using_local_saturation.xml” from \Examples\advanced\local_saturation Local saturation prevents a change from occurring within a specific region, in which a class area is greater than an established threshold (figure bellow). This feature is useful to simulate diffusion process as well as to establish a minimum forest remaining area (as established by the Brazilian forest code for private properties). Local saturation can be implemented by reducing the probability of a transition using an asymptotic function as follows:

P2 = P1 * (Li – Oc) / (Li + Oc), case Li >= Oc
P2 = 0, case Li < Oc
