Launch Interactive Array Design Shiny Application

Source: R/run_array_design.R
run_array_design.Rd

Opens the Array DesignR Shiny application for interactive acoustic receiver array design and optimization. The app provides tools for receiver placement, detection range modeling, and array performance analysis.

Usage

run_array_design()

Value

Launches the Shiny application in the default web browser. No return value.

Details

The Array DesignR application includes four main modules:

  • Array Design: Interactive map for placing receivers manually (click-to-add) or generating regular arrays. Load custom raster files (.tif, .grd, .asc) or use the included sample depth data.

  • Range Modeling: Fit detection efficiency models using create_logistic_curve_depth with depth-dependent parameters (d50 and d95 values).

  • Array Performance: Quantitative assessment of detection coverage, sampling bias analysis, and performance metrics based on detection efficiency thresholds.

  • Instructions: Comprehensive user guide with methodology, best practices, and troubleshooting tips.

Key features:

  • Load bathymetry or habitat rasters for spatial context

  • Place receivers manually by clicking or generate regular arrays

  • Calculate cost-weighted distances to assess coverage

  • Visualize detection efficiency surfaces using fitted models

  • Export receiver coordinates as CSV for field deployment

  • Analyze depth sampling bias and coverage thresholds
