Heterogeneity-index’s documentation#

Python library to compute the Heterogeneity Index (HI) from an input field (originally from sea surface temperature), as defined in Haëck et al. (2023) and Liu & Levine (2016).

See ‘Quickstart’ for a quick tutorial on how to use this library, ‘HI description and usage’ for a detailed definition of the HI, and ‘Implementation details’ for more information on how the computation is implemented.

This package contains some additional filters that can be applied before computing the index, more information at ‘Filters’.
