Level a breech face impression surface matrix by a conditional statistic

preProcess_removeTrend(x3p, statistic = "mean", ...)

Arguments

x3p

an x3p object containing the surface matrix of a cartridge case scan

statistic

either "mean" or "quantile"

...

arguments to be set in the quantreg::rq function if statistic = "quantile" is set. In this case, tau = .5 and method = "fn" are recommended

Value

an x3p object containing the leveled cartridge case scan surface matrix.
