Classify Landsat QA bands

Description

extracts five classes from QA band: background, cloud, cirrus, snow and water.

Usage

classifyQA(
  img,
  type = c("background", "cloud", "cirrus", "snow", "water"),
  confLayers = FALSE,
  sensor = "OLI",
  legacy = "collection1",
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Landsat 8 OLI QA band.

type

Character. Classes which should be returned. One or more of c("background", "cloud", "cirrus","snow", "water").

confLayers

Logical. Return one layer per class classified by confidence levels, i.e. cloud:low, cloud:med, cloud:high.

sensor

Sensor to encode. Options: c("OLI", "TIRS", "ETM+", "TM", "MSS").

legacy

Encoding systematic Options: c("collection1", "pre_collection"). Default is "collection1" for the Landsat Collection 1 8-bit quality designations. Use "pre_collection" for imagery downloaded before the Collection 1 quality designations were introduced

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster

Details

By default each class is queried for *high* confidence. See encodeQA for details. To return the different confidence levels per condition use confLayers=TRUE. This approach corresponds to the way LandsatLook Quality Images are produced by the USGS.

Value

Returns a SpatRaster with maximal five classes:

class value
background 1L
cloud 2L
cirrus 3L
snow 4L
water 5L

Values outside of these classes are returned as NA. If confLayers = TRUE then a RasterStack with one layer per condition (except 'background') is returned, whereby each layer contains the confidence level of the condition.

Confidence value
low 1L
med 2L
high 3L

Simple Cloud Detection

Description

Developed for use with Landsat data cloudMask relies on the distinctive difference between the blue (or any other short-wave band) and thermal band for semi-automated creation of a cloud mask. Since it relies on thermal information it doesn't work well for sensors without thermal bands.

Usage

cloudMask(
  x,
  threshold = 0.2,
  blue = "B1_sre",
  tir = "B6_sre",
  buffer = NULL,
  plot = FALSE,
  verbose
)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster with reflectance and brightness temperature OR the mask of a previous run of cloudMask with returnDiffLayer=TRUE.

threshold

Numeric. cloud detection threshold. If not provided it will be guessed. Everything *below* this threshold will be considered a cloud pixel (unless it is removed by filtering afterwards).

blue

Character or integer. Bandname or number for the blue band

tir

Character or integer. Bandname or number for the thermal band

buffer

Integer. Number of pixels to use as a buffer that will be added to the identified cloud centers.

plot

Logical. Plots of the cloud mask for all sub-steps (sanitizing etc.) Helpful to find proper parametrization.

verbose

Logical. Print messages or suppress.

Value

Returns a SpatRaster with two layers: CMASK contains the binary cloud mask (1 = cloud, NA = not-cloud) and NDTCI contains the cloud index.

Note

Typically clouds are cold in the thermal region and have high reflectance in short wavelengths (blue). By calculating a normalized difference index between the two bands and thresholding a rough cloud mask can be obtained. Before calculating the spectral cloud index (let's call it Normalized Difference Thermal Cloud Index (NDTCI)) the thermal band will be matched to the same value range as the blue band. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you provide DN, radiance or brightness temperature.

This approach to cloud masking is very simplistic. And aims only at rough removal of potentially clouded areas. Nevertheless, it is able to provide satisfactory results. More sophisticated approaches, including cloud cast shadow detection can be found elsewhere, e.g. fmask.

It can make sense to find a suitable threshold on a cropped version of the scene. Also make sure you make use of the returnDiffLayer argument to save yourself one processing step. Buffering should be seen as final polishing, i.e. as long as the pure cloud centers are not detected properly, you might want to turn it off. since it takes some time to calculate. Once your mask detects obvious cloud pixels properly re-enable buffering for fine tuning if desired. Finally, once a suitable threshold is established re-run cloudMask on the whole scene with this threshold and go get a coffee.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
## Import Landsat example subset
## We have two tiny clouds in the east
ggRGB(lsat, stretch = "lin")

## Calculate cloud index
cldmsk    <- cloudMask(lsat, blue = 1, tir = 6)
ggR(cldmsk, 2, geom_raster = TRUE) 

## Define threshold (re-use the previously calculated index)
## Everything above the threshold is masked
## In addition we apply a region-growing around the core cloud pixels
cldmsk_final <- cloudMask(cldmsk, threshold = 0.1, buffer = 5) 

## Plot cloudmask 
ggRGB(lsat, stretch = "lin") +
   ggR(cldmsk_final[[1]], ggLayer = TRUE, forceCat = TRUE, geom_raster = TRUE) +
   scale_fill_manual(values = c("red"), na.value = NA)

#' ## Estimate cloud shadow displacement
## Interactively (click on cloud pixels and the corresponding shadow pixels)
## Not run:  shadow <- cloudShadowMask(lsat, cldmsk_final, nc = 2) 

## Non-interactively. Pre-defined shadow displacement estimate (shiftEstimate)
shadow <- cloudShadowMask(lsat, cldmsk_final, shiftEstimate = c(-16,-6))

## Plot
csmask <- terra::merge(cldmsk_final[[1]], shadow)
ggRGB(lsat, stretch = "lin") +
        ggR(csmask, ggLayer = TRUE, forceCat = TRUE, geom_raster = TRUE) +

        labels = c("shadow", "cloud"), na.value = NA)

Cloud Shadow Masking for Flat Terrain

Description

Intended for interactive use, cloudShadowMask will ask the user to select a few corresponding cloud/cloudShadow pixels which will be used to estimate coordinates for a linear cloudmask shift.

Usage

cloudShadowMask(
  img,
  cm,
  nc = 5,
  shiftEstimate = NULL,
  preciseShift = NULL,
  quantile = 0.2,
  returnShift = FALSE
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster containing the scene

cm

SpatRaster. Cloud mask (typically the result of cloudMask)

nc

Integer. Number of control points. A few points (default) are fine because the final shift is estimated by coregisterImages.

shiftEstimate

NULL or numeric vector of length two (x,y). Estimated displacement of shadows in map units. If NULL, the user will be asked to select control points interactively.

preciseShift

NULL or numeric vector of length two (x,y). Use this if cloud/cloud-shadow displacement is already known, e.g. from a previous run of cloudShadowMask.

quantile

Numeric (between 0 and 1). Quantile threshold used for image co-registration. By default the 20% quantile of the total intensity (sum) of the image is used as potential shadow mask.

returnShift

Logical. Return a numeric vector containing the shift parameters. Useful if you estimate parameters on a subset of the image.

Details

This is a very simplistic approach to cloud shadow masking (simple shift of the cloud mask). It is not image based and accuracy will suffer from clouds at different altitudes. However, just as cloudMask this is a quick and easy to use tool for Landsat data if you're just working on a few scenes and don't have fMask or CDR data at hand. Although for some test scenes it does perform surprisingly well.

Value

Returns a RasterLayer with the cloud shadow mask (0 = shadow, NA = not-shadow).

Image to Image Co-Registration based on Mutual Information

Description

Shifts an image to match a reference image. Matching is based on maximum mutual information.

Usage

coregisterImages(
  img,
  ref,
  shift = 3,
  shiftInc = 1,
  nSamples = 100,
  reportStats = FALSE,
  verbose,
  nBins = 100,
  master = deprecated(),
  slave = deprecated(),
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Image to shift to match reference image. img and ref must have equal numbers of bands.

ref

SpatRaster. Reference image. img and ref must have equal numbers of bands.

shift

Numeric or matrix. If numeric, then shift is the maximal absolute radius (in pixels of img resolution) which img is shifted (seq(-shift, shift, by=shiftInc)). If shift is a matrix it must have two columns (x shift and y shift), then only these shift values will be tested.

shiftInc

Numeric. Shift increment (in pixels, but not restricted to integer). Ignored if shift is a matrix.

nSamples

Integer. Number of samples to calculate mutual information.

reportStats

Logical. If FALSE it will return only the shifted images. Otherwise it will return the shifted image in a list containing stats such as mutual information per shift and joint histograms.

verbose

Logical. Print status messages. Overrides global RStoolbox.verbose option.

nBins

Integer. Number of bins to calculate joint histogram.

master

DEPRECATED! Argument was renamed. Please use ref from now on.

slave

DEPRECATED! Argument was renamed. Please use img from now on.

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster.

Details

Currently only a simple linear x - y shift is considered and tested. No higher order shifts (e.g. rotation, non-linear transformation) are performed. This means that your imagery should already be properly geometrically corrected.

Mutual information is a similarity metric originating from information theory. Roughly speaking, the higher the mutual information of two data-sets, the higher is their shared information content, i.e. their similarity. When two images are exactly co-registered their mutual information is maximal. By trying different image shifts, we aim to find the best overlap which maximises the mutual information.

Value

reportStats=FALSE returns a SpatRaster (x-y shifted image). reportStats=TRUE returns a list containing a data.frame with mutual information per shift ($MI), the shift of maximum MI ($bestShift), the joint histograms per shift in a list ($jointHist) and the shifted image ($coregImg).

Examples

library(terra)
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
reference <- rlogo
## Shift reference 2 pixels to the right and 3 up
missreg <- shift(reference,  2,  3)

## Compare shift
p <- ggR(reference, sat = 1, alpha = .5) 
p + ggR(missreg, sat = 1, hue = .5, alpha = 0.5, ggLayer=TRUE) 

## Coregister images (and report statistics)
coreg <- coregisterImages(missreg, ref = reference,
                         nSamples = 500, reportStats = TRUE)

## Plot mutual information per shift
ggplot(coreg$MI) + geom_raster(aes(x,y,fill=mi))

## Plot joint histograms per shift (x/y shift in facet labels)
 
df <- melt(coreg$jointHist)   
df$L1 <- factor(df$L1, levels = names(coreg$jointHist))
df[df$value == 0, "value"] <- NA ## don't display p = 0
ggplot(df) + geom_raster(aes(x = Var2, y = Var1,fill=value)) + facet_wrap(~L1) + 
       scale_fill_gradientn(name = "p", colours =  heat.colors(10), na.value = NA)

## Compare correction
ggR(reference, sat = 1, alpha = .5) +
  ggR(coreg$coregImg, sat = 1, hue = .5, alpha = 0.5, ggLayer=TRUE)

Estimate Image Haze for Dark Object Subtraction (DOS)

Description

estimates the digital number (DN) pixel value of *dark* objects for the visible wavelength range.

Usage

estimateHaze(
  x,
  hazeBands,
  darkProp = 0.01,
  maxSlope = TRUE,
  plot = FALSE,
  returnTables = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster or a previous result from estimateHaze with returnTables = TRUE from which to estimate haze

hazeBands

Integer or Character. Band number or bandname from which to estimate atmospheric haze (optional if x contains only one layer)

darkProp

Numeric. Proportion of pixels estimated to be dark.

maxSlope

Logical. Use darkProp only as an upper boundary and search for the DN of maximum slope in the histogram below this value.

plot

Logical. Option to display histograms and haze values

returnTables

Logical. Option to return the frequency table per layer. Only takes effect if x is a SpatRaster. If x is a result of estimateHaze tables will always be returned.

Details

It is assumed that any radiation originating from *dark* pixels is due to atmospheric haze and not the reflectance of the surface itself (the surface is dark, i.e. it has a reflectance close to zero). Hence, the haze values are estimates of path radiance, which can be subtracted in a dark object subtraction (DOS) procedure (see radCor)

Atmospheric haze affects almost exclusively the visible wavelength range. Therefore, typically, you'd only want to estimate haze in blue, green and red bands, occasionally also in the nir band.

Value

If returnTables is FALSE (default). Then a vector of length(hazeBands) containing the estimated haze DNs will be returned. If returnTables is TRUE a list with two components will be returned. The list element 'SHV' contains the haze values, while 'table' contains another list with the sampled frequency tables. The latter can be re-used to try different darkProp thresholds without having to sample the raster again.

Examples

## Estimate haze for blue, green and red band
haze <- estimateHaze(lsat, hazeBands = 1:3, plot = FALSE)
haze

## Find threshold interactively
#### Return the frequency tables for re-use
#### avoids having to sample the Raster again and again
haze <- estimateHaze(lsat, hazeBands = 1:3, returnTables = TRUE)
## Use frequency table instead of lsat and fiddle with
haze <- estimateHaze(haze, hazeBands = 1:3, darkProp = .1, plot = FALSE)
haze$SHV

Fractional Cover Analysis

Description

fCover takes a classified high resolution image, e.g. vegetation and non-vegetation based on Landsat and calculates cover fractions for pixels of a coarser resolution, e.g. MODIS.

Usage

fCover(
  classImage,
  predImage,
  nSamples = 1000,
  classes = 1,
  maxNA = 0,
  clamp = TRUE,
  model = "rf",
  tuneLength = 3,
  trControl = trainControl(method = "cv"),
  method = deprecated(),
  filename = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  verbose,
  ...
)

Arguments

classImage

high resolution SpatRaster containing a landcover classification, e.g. as obtained by superClass.

predImage

coarse resolution SpatRaster for which fractional cover will be estimated.

nSamples

Integer. Number of pixels to sample from predImage to train the regression model

classes

Integer. Classes for which fractional cover should be estimated (one or more).

maxNA

Numeric. Maximal proportion of NAs allowed in training pixels.

clamp

Logical. Enforce results to stay within [0,1] interval. Values <0 are reset to 0 and values >1 to 1.

model

Character. Which model to fit for image regression. See train for options. Defaults to randomForest ('rf')

tuneLength

Integer. Number of levels for each tuning parameters that should be generated by train. See Details and train.

trControl

trainControl object, specifying resampling, validation etc.

method

DEPREACTED! in favor of trControl=trainControl(method="cv") Resampling method for parameter tuning. Defaults to 10 fold cross-validation. See trainControl for options.

filename

Character. Filename of the output raster file (optional).

overwrite

Logical. if TRUE, filename will be overwritten.

verbose

Logical. Print progress information.

...

further arguments to be passed to writeRaster

Details

fCover gets the pixel values in a high resolution classified image that correspond to randomly selected moderate resolution pixels and then calculates the percent of the classified image pixels that represent your cover type of interest. In other words, if your high resolution image has a pixel size of 1m and your moderate resolution image has a pixel size of 30m the sampling process would take a block of 900 of the 1m resolution pixels that correspond to a single 30m pixel and calculate the percentage of the 1m pixels that are forest. For example, if there were 600 forest pixels and 300 non-forest pixels the value given for the output pixel would be 0.67 since 67

fCover relies on the train() function from the caret package which provides access to a huge number of classifiers. Please see the available options at train. The default classifier (randomForest) we chose has been shown to provide very good results in image regression and hence it is recomended you start with this one. If you choose a different classifier, make sure it can run in regression mode.

Many models require tuning of certain parameters. Again, this is handled by train from the caret package. With the tuneLength argument you can specify how many different values of each tuning parameter should be tested. The Random Forest algorithm for example can be tuned by varying the mtry parameter. Hence, by specifying tuneLength = 10, ten different levels of mtry will be tested in a cross-validation scheme and the best-performing value will be chosen for the final model.

If the total no-data values for a block of high resolution pixels is greater than maxNA then it will not be included in the training data set since there is too much missing data to provide a reliable cover percentage. If the no-data proporton is less then maxNA the no-data pixels are removed from the total number of pixels when calculating the percent cover.

Value

Returns a list with two elements: models contains the fitted models evaluated in tenfold cross-validation (caret train objects); fCover contains a SpatRaster with a fractional cover layer for each requested class.

stretch

Character. Either 'none', 'lin', 'hist', 'sqrt' or 'log' for no stretch, linear, histogram, square-root or logarithmic stretch.

quantiles

Numeric vector with two elements. Min and max quantiles to stretch to. Defaults to 2% stretch, i.e. c(0.02,0.98).

ext

Extent object to crop the image

coord_equal

Logical. Force addition of coord_equal, i.e. aspect ratio of 1:1. Typically useful for remote sensing data (depending on your projection), hence it defaults to TRUE. Note however, that this does not apply if (ggLayer=FALSE).

ggLayer

Logical. Return only a ggplot layer which must be added to an existing ggplot. If FALSE s stand-alone ggplot will be returned.

ggObj

Logical. Return a stand-alone ggplot object (TRUE) or just the data.frame with values and colors

geom_raster

Logical. If FALSE uses annotation_raster (good to keep aestetic mappings free). If TRUE uses geom_raster (and aes(fill)). See Details.

forceCat

Logical. If TRUE the raster values will be forced to be categorical (will be converted to factor if needed).

Details

When img contains factor values and annotation=TRUE, the raster values will automatically be converted to numeric in order to proceed with the brightness calculation.

The geom_raster argument switches from the default use of annotation_raster to geom_raster. The difference between the two is that geom_raster performs a meaningful mapping from pixel values to fill colour, while annotation_raster is simply adding a picture to your plot. In practice this means that whenever you need a legend for your raster you should use geom_raster = TRUE. This also allows you to specify and modify the fill scale manually. The advantage of using annotation_raster (geom_raster = TRUE) is that you can still use the scale_fill* for another variable. For example you could add polygons and map a value to their fill colour. For more details on the theory behind aestetic mapping have a look at the ggplot2 manuals.

Value

ggObj = TRUE: ggplot2 plot
ggLayer = TRUE: ggplot2 layer to be combined with an existing ggplot2
ggObj = FALSE: data.frame in long format suitable for plotting with ggplot2, includes the pixel values and the calculated colors

)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster

r

Integer or character. Red layer in x. Can be set to NULL, in which case the red channel will be set to zero.

g

Integer or character. Green layer in x. Can be set to NULL, in which case the green channel will be set to zero.

b

Integer or character. Blue layer in x. Can be set to NULL, in which case the blue channel will be set to zero.

scale

Numeric. Maximum possible pixel value (optional). Defaults to 255 or to the maximum value of x if that is larger than 255

Vector or matrix. Can be used to reduce the range of values. Either a vector of two values for all bands (c(min, max)) or a 3x2 matrix with min and max values (columns) for each layer (rows).

clipValues

Matrix, numeric vector, string or NA. Values to reset out of range (out of limits) values to. By default ('limits') values are reset to limits. A single value (e.g. NA) will be recycled to all lower/higher clippings, A vector of length two (c(min,max)) can be used to specify lower and higher replace values, applied to all bands. A two column matrix (typically with three rows) can be used to fully control lower and upper clipping values differently for each band.

alpha

Numeric. Transparency (0-1).

coord_equal

Logical. Force addition of coord_equal, i.e. aspect ratio of 1:1. Typically useful for remote sensing data (depending on your projection), hence it defaults to TRUE. Note howver, that this does not apply if (ggLayer=FALSE).

geom_raster

Logical. If FALSE annotation_raster is used, otherwise geom_raster()+scale_fill_identity is used. Note that you can't use scale_fill* in addition to the latter, because it already requires scale_fill_identity().

nullValue

Numeric. Intensity value used for NULL layers in color compositing. E.g. set g=NULL and fix green value at 0.5 (defaults to 0).

Details

Functionality is based on plotRGB from the raster package.

Value

ggObj = TRUE: ggplot2 plot
ggLayer = TRUE: ggplot2 layer to be combined with an existing ggplot2

Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (Spectral Unmixing)

Description

mesma performs a spectral mixture anlylsis (SMA) or multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) on a multiband raster image.

Usage

mesma(
  img,
  em,
  method = "NNLS",
  iterate = 400,
  tolerance = 1e-08,
  n_models = 5,
  sum_to_one = TRUE,
  ...,
  verbose
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Remote sensing imagery (usually hyperspectral).

em

Matrix or data.frame with spectral endmembers. Columns represent the spectral bands (i.e. columns correspond to number of bands in img). Rows represent either a single endmember per class (SMA) or multiple endmembers per class (MESMA), if a column with name class is present, containing the class name each endmember belongs to, e.g. "water" or "land". See details below. Number of rows needs to be > 1.

method

Character. Select an unmixing method. Currently, only "NNLS" is implemented. Default is "NNLS".

  • NNLS: applies a non-negative least squares (NNLS) regression which is using a sequential coordinate-wise algorithm (SCA) based on Franc et al. (2005).

iterate

Integer. Set maximum iteration per pixel. Processing time could increase the more iterations are made possible. Default is 400.

tolerance

Numeric. Tolerance limit representing a nearly zero minimal number. Default is 1e-8.

n_models

Logical. Only applies if em contains column class. Defines how many endmember combinations should be picked. Maximum is the minimum number of endmembers of a class. Defaults to 5.

sum_to_one

Logical. Defines whether a sum-to-one constraint should be applied so that probabilities of endmember classes sum to one (a constraint not covered by NNLS) to be interpretable as fractions. Defaults to TRUE. To get actual NNLS results, change to FALSE.

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster.

verbose

Logical. Prints progress messages during execution.

Details

Argument em determines whether an SMA (each row representing a single endmember per class) or a MESMA (multiple endmembers per class differentiate using the class column) is computed. If multiple endmembers per class are provided, mesma will compute a number of SMA (determined by argument n_models) for multiple endmember combinations drawn from em and will select the best fit per pixel based on the lowest RMSE, based on the MESMA approach proposed by Roberts et al. (1998).

Value

SpatRaster. The object will contain one band per class, with each value representing the estimated probability of the respective endmember class per pixel, and an RMSE band. If sum_to_one is TRUE (default), values of the class bands can be interpreted as fractions per endmember class (0 to 1).

Note

Depending on iterate and tolerance settings and the selected endmembers, the sum of estimated probabilities per pixel varies around 1. NNLS does not account for a sum-to-one constraint. Use sum_to_one to sum to one post-NNLS.

To achieve best results, it is recommended to adjust n_models in accordance to the number of endemembers per class provided through em so that as many endmember combinations as possible (with each endmember being used once) are computed. The more models are being calculated, the more processing and memory recourses are needed.

Pan Sharpen Imagery / Image Fusion

Description

provides different methods for pan sharpening a coarse resolution (typically multispectral) image with a higher reolution panchromatic image. Values of the pan-chromatic and multispectral images must be of the same scale, (e.g. from 0:1, or all DNs from 0:255)

Usage

panSharpen(img, pan, r, g, b, pc = 1, method = "brovey", norm = TRUE)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Coarse resolution multispectral image

pan

SpatRaster. High resolution image, typically panchromatic.

r

Character or Integer. Red band in img. Only relevant if method!='pca'

g

Character or Integer. Green band in img. Only relevant if method!='pca'

b

Character or Integer. Blue band in img. Only relevant if method!='pca'

pc

Integer. Only relevant if method = 'pca'. Which principal component to replace. Usually this should be the first component (default). Only if the first component is dominated by something else than brightness it might be worth a try to use the second component.

method

Character. Choose method from c("pca", "ihs", "brovey").

norm

Logical. Rescale pan image to match the 1st PC component. Only relevant if method = 'pca'. If TRUE only min and max are matched to the 1st PC. If FALSE pan will be histogram matched to the 1st PC.

Details

Pan sharpening options:

  • method='pca': Performs a pca using rasterPCA. The first component is then swapped for the pan band an the PCA is rotated backwards.

  • method='ihs': Performs a color space transform to Intensity-Hue-Saturation space, swaps intensity for the histogram matched pan and does the backwards transformation.

  • method='brovey': Performs Brovey reweighting. Pan and img must be at the same value scale (e.g. 0:1, or 0:255) otherwise you'll end up with psychodelic colors.

Value

pan-sharpened SpatRaster

Examples

library(terra)
library(ggplot2)

## Fake panchromatic image (30m resolution covering
## the visible range (integral from blue to red))
pan       <- sum(lsat[[1:3]])
ggR(pan, stretch = "lin") 

## Fake coarse resolution image (150m spatial resolution)
lowResImg <- aggregate(lsat, 5)


## Brovey pan sharpening
lowResImg_pan <- panSharpen(lowResImg, pan, r = 3, g = 2, b = 1, method = "brovey")

Pseudo-Invariant Features based Image Matching

Description

Match one scene to another based on linear regression of pseudo-invariant features (PIF).

Usage

pifMatch(
  img,
  ref,
  method = "cor",
  quantile = 0.95,
  returnPifMap = TRUE,
  returnSimMap = TRUE,
  returnModels = FALSE
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Image to be adjusted.

ref

SpatRaster. Reference image.

method

Method to calculate pixel similarity. Options: euclidean distance ('ed'), spectral angle ('sam') or pearson correlation coefficient ('cor').

quantile

Numeric. Threshold quantile used to identify PIFs

returnPifMap

Logical. Return a binary raster map ot pixels which were identified as pesudo-invariant features.

returnSimMap

Logical. Return the similarity map as well

returnModels

Logical. Return the linear models along with the adjusted image.

Details

The function consists of three main steps: First, it calculates pixel-wise similarity between the two rasters and identifies pseudo-invariant pixels based on a similarity threshold. In the second step the values of the pseudo-invariant pixels are regressed against each other in a linear model for each layer. Finally the linear models are applied to all pixels in the img, thereby matching it to the reference scene.

Pixel-wise similarity can be calculated using one of three methods: euclidean distance (method = "ed"), spectral angle ("sam") or pearsons correlation coefficient ("cor"). The threshold is defined as a similarity quantile. Setting quantile=0.95 will select all pixels with a similarity above the 95% quantile as pseudo-invariant features.

Model fitting is performed with simple linear models (lm); fitting one model per layer.

Value

Returns a List with the adjusted image and intermediate products (if requested).

  • img: the adjusted image

  • simMap: pixel-wise similarity map (if returnSimMap = TRUE)

  • pifMap: binary map of pixels selected as pseudo-invariant features (if returnPifMap = TRUE)

  • models: list of linear models; one per layer (if returnModels = TRUE)

Examples

library(terra)


## Create fake example data
## In practice this would be an image from another acquisition date

Radiometric Calibration and Correction

Description

Implements several different methods for radiometric calibration and correction of Landsat data. You can either specify a metadata file, or supply all neccesary values manually. With proper parametrization apref and sdos should work for other sensors as well.

Usage

)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster

metaData

object of class ImageMetaData or a path to the meta data (MTL) file.

method

Radiometric conversion/correction method to be used. There are currently four methods available (see Details): "rad", "apref", "sdos", "dos", "costz".

bandSet

Numeric or character. original Landsat band numbers or names in the form of ("B1", "B2" etc). If set to 'full' all bands in the solar (optical) region will be processed.

hazeValues

Numeric. Either a vector with dark DNs per hazeBand (method = 'sdos'); possibly estimated using estimateHaze. Or the 'starting haze value' (DN) for the relative scattering models in method = 'dos' or 'costz'. If not provided, hazeValues will be estimated in an automated fashion for all hazeBands. Argument only applies to methods 'sdos', 'dos' and 'costz'.

hazeBands

Character or integer. Bands corresponding to hazeValues (method = 'sdos') or band to select starting haze value from ('dos' or 'costz').

atmosphere

Character. Atmospheric characteristics. Will be estimated if not expicilty provided. Must be one of "veryClear", "clear", "moderate", "hazy" or "veryHazy".

darkProp

Numeric. Estimated proportion of dark pixels in the scene. Used only for automatic guessing of hazeValues (typically one would choose 1 or 2%).

clamp

Logical. Enforce valid value range. By default reflectance will be forced to stay within [0,1] and radiance >= 0 by replacing invalid values with the correspinding boundary, e.g. -0.1 will become 0.

verbose

Logical. Print status information.

Details

The atmospheric correction methods (sdos, dos and costz) apply to the optical (solar) region of the spectrum and do not affect the thermal band.

Dark object subtraction approaches rely on the estimation of atmospheric haze based on *dark* pixels. Dark pixels are assumed to have zero reflectance, hence the name. It is then assumed further that any radiation originating from such *dark* pixels is due to atmospheric haze and not the reflectance of the surface itself.

The folloiwing methods are available:

rad Radiance
apref Apparent reflectance (top-of-atmosphere reflectance)
dos Dark object subtratction following Chavez (1989)
costz Dark object subtraction following Chavez (1996)
sdos Simple dark object subtraction. Classical DOS, Lhaze must be estimated for each band separately.

If either "dos" or "costz" are selected, radCor will use the atmospheric haze decay model described by Chavez (1989). Depending on the atmosphere the following coefficients are used:

veryClear λ4.0\lambda^{-4.0}
clear λ2.0\lambda^{-2.0}
moderate λ1.0\lambda^{-1.0}
hazy λ0.7\lambda^{-0.7}
veryHazy λ0.5\lambda^{-0.5}

For Landsat 8, no values for extra-terrestrial irradiation (esun) are provided by NASA. These are, however, neccessary for DOS-based approaches. Therefore, these values were derived from a standard reference spectrum published by Thuillier et al. (2003) using the Landsat 8 OLI spectral response functions

The implemented sun-earth distances neglect the earth's eccentricity. Instead we use a 100 year daily average (1979-2070).

Value

SpatRaster with top-of-atmosphere radiance (W/(m2sradμm)W/(m^2 * srad * \mu m)), at-satellite brightness temperature (K), top-of-atmosphere reflectance (unitless) corrected for the sun angle or at-surface reflectance (unitless).

Note

This was originally a fork of randcorr() function in the landsat package. This version works on SpatRasters and hence is suitable for large rasters.

Change Vector Analysis

Description

Calculates angle and magnitude of change vectors. Dimensionality is limited to two bands per image.

Usage

rasterCVA(x, y, tmf = NULL, nct = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster with two layers. This will be the reference/origin for the change calculations. Both rasters (y and y) need to correspond to each other, i.e. same resolution, extent and origin.

y

SpatRaster with two layers. Both rasters (y and y) need to correspond to each other, i.e. same resolution, extent and origin.

tmf

Numeric. Threshold median factor (optional). Used to calculate a threshold magnitude for which pixels are considered stable, i.e. no change. Calculated as tmf * mean(magnitude[magnitude > 0]).

nct

Numeric. No-change threshold (optional). Alternative to tmf. Sets an absolute threshold. Change magnitudes below nct are considered stable and set to NA.

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster

Details

Change Vector Analysis (CVA) is used to identify spectral changes between two identical scenes which were acquired at different times. CVA is limited to two bands per image. For each pixel it calculates the change vector in the two-dimensional spectral space. For example for a given pixel in image A and B for the red and nir band the change vector is calculated for the coordinate pairs: (red_A | nir_A) and (red_B | nir_B).

The coordinate system is defined by the order of the input bands: the first band defines the x-axis and the second band the y-axis, respectively. Angles are returned *in degree* beginning with 0 degrees pointing 'north', i.e. the y-axis, i.e. the second band.

Value

Returns a SpatRaster with two layers: change vector angle and change vector magnitude

Examples

library(terra)
pca <- rasterPCA(lsat)$map

## Do change vector analysis
cva <- rasterCVA(pca[[1:2]], pca[[3:4]])
cva

Multi-layer Pixel Entropy

Description

Usage

rasterEntropy(img, ...)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster

...

additional arguments passed to writeRaster

Details

Entropy is calculated as -sum(p log(p)); p being the class frequency per pixel.

Value

SpatRaster "entropy"

Examples

re <- rasterEntropy(rlogo)
ggR(re, geom_raster = TRUE)

Principal Component Analysis for Rasters

Description

Calculates R-mode PCA for SpatRasters and returns a SpatRaster with multiple layers of PCA scores.

Usage

rasterPCA(
  img,
  nSamples = NULL,
  nComp = nlyr(img),
  spca = FALSE,
  maskCheck = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster.

nSamples

Integer or NULL. Number of pixels to sample for PCA fitting. If NULL, all pixels will be used.

nComp

Integer. Number of PCA components to return.

spca

Logical. If TRUE, perform standardized PCA. Corresponds to centered and scaled input image. This is usually beneficial for equal weighting of all layers. (FALSE by default)

maskCheck

Logical. Masks all pixels which have at least one NA (default TRUE is reccomended but introduces a slow-down, see Details when it is wise to disable maskCheck). Takes effect only if nSamples is NULL.

...

further arguments to be passed to writeRaster, e.g. filename.

Details

Internally rasterPCA relies on the use of princomp (R-mode PCA). If nSamples is given the PCA will be calculated based on a random sample of pixels and then predicted for the full raster. If nSamples is NULL then the covariance matrix will be calculated first and will then be used to calculate princomp and predict the full raster. The latter is more precise, since it considers all pixels, however, it may be slower than calculating the PCA only on a subset of pixels.

Pixels with missing values in one or more bands will be set to NA. The built-in check for such pixels can lead to a slow-down of rasterPCA. However, if you make sure or know beforehand that all pixels have either only valid values or only NAs throughout all layers you can disable this check by setting maskCheck=FALSE which speeds up the computation.

Standardised PCA (SPCA) can be useful if imagery or bands of different dynamic ranges are combined. SPC uses the correlation matrix instead of the covariance matrix, which has the same effect as using normalised bands of unit variance.

Value

Returns a named list containing the PCA model object ($model) and a SpatRaster with the principal component layers ($object).

Examples

library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
ggRGB(rlogo, 1,2,3)

## Run PCA

rpc <- rasterPCA(rlogo)
rpc

## Model parameters:
summary(rpc$model)

  grid.arrange(plots[[1]],plots[[2]], plots[[3]], ncol=2)
}

Spectral Angle Mapper

Description

Calculates the angle in spectral space between pixels and a set of reference spectra (endmembers) for image classification based on spectral similarity.

Usage

sam(img, em, angles = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Remote sensing imagery.

em

Matrix or data.frame with endmembers. Each row should contain the endmember spectrum of a class, i.e. columns correspond to bands in img. It is reccomended to set the rownames to class names.

angles

Logical. If TRUE a RasterBrick containing each one layer per endmember will be returned containing the spectral angles.

...

further arguments to be passed to writeRaster

Details

For each pixel the spectral angle mapper calculates the angle between the vector defined by the pixel values and each endmember vector. The result of this is one raster layer for each endmember containing the spectral angle. The smaller the spectral angle the more similar a pixel is to a given endmember class. In a second step one can the go ahead an enforce thresholds of maximum angles or simply classify each pixel to the most similar endmember.

Value

SpatRaster If angles = FALSE a single Layer will be returned in which each pixel is assigned to the closest endmember class (integer pixel values correspond to row order of em.

Examples

library(terra)
library(ggplot2)

## Sample endmember spectra
## First location is water, second is open agricultural vegetation
pts <- data.frame(x = c(624720, 627480), y = c(-414690, -411090))
endmembers <- extract(lsat, pts)
rownames(endmembers) <- c("water", "vegetation")

## Calculate spectral angles
lsat_sam <- sam(lsat, endmembers, angles = TRUE)
plot(lsat_sam)

## Classify based on minimum angle
lsat_sam <- sam(lsat, endmembers, angles = FALSE)

ggR(lsat_sam, forceCat = TRUE, geom_raster=TRUE) +
             scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue", "green"), labels = c("water", "vegetation"))

Save and Read RStoolbox Classification Results

Description

Saves objects of classes unsuperClass, superClass, rasterPCA and fCover to file. Useful to archive the fitted models.

Usage

saveRSTBX(x, filename, format = "raster", ...)

readRSTBX(filename)

Arguments

x

RStoolbox object of classes c("fCover", "rasterPCA", "superClass", "unsuperClass")

filename

Character. Path and filename. Any file extension will be ignored.

format

Character. Driver to use for the raster file

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster

Value

The output of writeRSTBX will be at least two files written to disk: a) an .rds file containing the object itself and b) the raster file (depending on the driver you choose this can be more than two files).

Functions

  • saveRSTBX(): Save RStoolbox object to file

  • readRSTBX(): Read files saved with saveRSTBX

Note

All files must be kept in the same directory to read the full object back into R by means of readRSTBX. You can move them to another location but you'll have to move *all* of them (just like you would with Shapefiles). In case the raster file(s) is missing, readRSTBX will still return the object but the raster will be missing.

writeRSTBX and readRSTBX are convenience wrappers around saveRDS, readRDS. This means you can read all files created this way also with base functionality as long as you don't move your files. This is because x$map is a SpatRaster object and hence contains only a static link to the file on disk.

Examples

## Not run: 
input <- rlogo
## Create filename
file  <- paste0(tempdir(), "/test", runif(1))
## Run PCA
rpc   <- rasterPCA(input, nSample = 100)
## Save object
saveRSTBX(rpc, filename=file)
## Which files were written?
list.files(tempdir(), pattern = basename(file))
## Re-read files
re_rpc <- readRSTBX(file)
## Remove files
file.remove(list.files(tempdir(), pattern = basename(file), full = TRUE))

## End(Not run)

Sentinel 2 MSI L2A Scene

Description

Contains all 13 bands in already converted spectral reflectances

Usage

sen2

Examples

Spectral Indices

Description

Calculate a suite of multispectral indices such as NDVI, SAVI etc. in an efficient way.

Usage

spectralIndices(
  img,
  blue = NULL,
  green = NULL,
  red = NULL,
  nir = NULL,
  redEdge1 = NULL,
  redEdge2 = NULL,
  redEdge3 = NULL,
  swir1 = NULL,
  swir2 = NULL,
  swir3 = NULL,
  scaleFactor = 1,
  skipRefCheck = FALSE,
  indices = NULL,
  index = NULL,
  maskLayer = NULL,
  maskValue = 1,
  coefs = list(L = 0.5, G = 2.5, L_evi = 1, C1 = 6, C2 = 7.5, s = 1, swir2ccc = NULL,
    swir2coc = NULL),
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Typically remote sensing imagery, which is to be classified.

blue

Character or integer. Blue band.

green

Character or integer. Green band.

red

Character or integer. Red band.

nir

Character or integer. Near-infrared band (700-1100nm).

redEdge1

Character or integer. Red-edge band (705nm)

redEdge2

Character or integer. Red-edge band (740nm)

redEdge3

Character or integer. Red-edge band (783nm)

not used

swir2

Character or integer. Short-wave-infrared band (1400-1800nm).

swir3

Character or integer. Short-wave-infrared band (2000-2500nm).

scaleFactor

Numeric. Scale factor for the conversion of scaled reflectances to [0,1] value range (applied as reflectance/scaleFactor) Neccesary for calculating EVI/EVI2 with scaled reflectance values.

skipRefCheck

Logical. When EVI/EVI2 is to be calculated there is a rough heuristic check, whether the data are inside [0,1]+/-0.5 (after applying a potential scaleFactor). If there are invalid reflectances, e.g. clouds with reflectance > 1 this check will result in a false positive and skip EVI calculation. Use this argument to skip this check in such cases *iff* you are sure the data and scaleFactor are valid.

indices

Character. One or more spectral indices to calculate (see Details). By default (NULL) all implemented indices given the spectral bands which are provided will be calculated.

index

Character. Alias for indices.

maskLayer

RasterLayer or SpatRaster containing a mask, e.g. clouds, for which pixels are set to NA. Alternatively a layername or -number can be provided if the mask is part of img.

maskValue

Integer. Pixel value in maskLayer which should be masked in output, i.e. will be set to NA in all calculated indices.

coefs

List of coefficients (see Details).

...

further arguments such as filename etc. passed to writeRaster

Details

spectralIndices calculates all indices in one go in C++, which is more efficient than calculating each index separately (for large rasters). By default all indices which can be calculated given the specified indices will be calculated. If you don't want all indices, use the indices argument to specify exactly which indices are to be calculated. See the table bellow for index names and required bands.

Index values outside the valid value ranges (if such a range exists) will be set to NA. For example a pixel with NDVI > 1 will be set to NA.

Some indices require additional parameters, such as the slope of the soil line which are specified via a list to the coefs argument. Although the defaults are sensible values, values like the soil brightnes factor L for SAVI should be adapted depending on the characteristics of the scene. The coefficients are:

Coefficient Description Affected Indices
s slope of the soil line DVI, WDVI
L_evi, C1, C2, G various EVI
L soil brightness factor SAVI, SATVI
swir2ccc minimum swir2 value (completely closed forest canopy) NDVIC
swir2coc maximum swir2 value (completely open canopy) NDVIC

The wavelength band names are defined following Schowengertd 2007, p10. The last column shows exemplarily which Landsat 5 TM bands correspond to which wavelength range definition.

Import separate Landsat files into single stack

Description

Reads Landsat MTL or XML metadata files and loads single Landsat Tiffs into a rasterStack. Be aware that by default stackMeta() does NOT import panchromatic bands nor thermal bands with resolutions != 30m.

Usage

stackMeta(file, quantity = "all", category = "image", allResolutions = FALSE)

Arguments

file

Character. Path to Landsat MTL metadata (*_MTL.txt) file or an Landsat CDR xml metadata file (*.xml).

quantity

Character vector. Which quantity should be returned. Options: digital numbers ('dn'), top of atmosphere reflectance ('tre'), at surface reflectance ('sre'), brightness temperature ('bt'), spectral index ('index'), all quantities ('all').

category

Character vector. Which category of data to return. Options 'image': image data, 'pan': panchromatic image, 'index': multiband indices, 'qa' quality flag bands, 'all': all categories.

allResolutions

Logical. if TRUE a list will be returned with length = unique spatial resolutions. This argument was introduced to maintain backward compatibility and will be switched to TRUE in an upcoming release. Please base all new code on terra.

Value

Returns one single SpatRaster comprising all requested bands. If allResolutions = TRUE *and* there are different resolution layers (e.g. a 15m panchromatic band along wit 30m imagery) a list of RasterStacks will be returned.

Note

Be aware that by default stackMeta() does NOT import panchromatic bands nor thermal bands with resolutions != 30m. Use the allResolutions argument to import all layers. Note that nowadays the USGS uses cubic convolution to resample the TIR bands to 30m resolution.

Examples

## Example metadata file (MTL)
mtlFile  <- system.file("external/landsat/LT52240631988227CUB02_MTL.txt", package="RStoolbox")

Supervised Classification

Description

Supervised classification both for classification and regression mode based on vector training data (points or polygons).

Usage

superClass(
  img,
  trainData,
  valData = NULL,
  responseCol = NULL,
  nSamples = 1000,
  nSamplesV = 1000,
  polygonBasedCV = FALSE,
  trainPartition = NULL,
  model = "rf",
  tuneLength = 3,
  kfold = 5,
  minDist = 2,
  mode = "classification",
  predict = TRUE,
  predType = "raw",
  filename = NULL,
  verbose,
  overwrite = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Typically remote sensing imagery, which is to be classified.

trainData

sf or sp spatial vector data containing the training locations (POINTs,or POLYGONs).

valData

Ssf or sp spatial vector data containing the validation locations (POINTs,or POLYGONs) (optional).

responseCol

Character or integer giving the column in trainData, which contains the response variable. Can be omitted, when trainData has only one column.

nSamples

Integer. Number of samples per land cover class. If NULL all pixels covered by training polygons are used (memory intensive!). Ignored if trainData consists of POINTs.

nSamplesV

Integer. Number of validation samples per land cover class. If NULL all pixels covered by validation polygons are used (memory intensive!). Ignored if valData consists of POINTs.

polygonBasedCV

Logical. If TRUE model tuning during cross-validation is conducted on a per-polygon basis. Use this to deal with overfitting issues. Does not affect training data supplied as SpatialPointsDataFrames.

trainPartition

Numeric. Partition (polygon based) of trainData that goes into the training data set between zero and one. Ignored if valData is provided.

model

Character. Which model to use. See train for options. Defaults to randomForest ('rf'). In addition to the standard caret models, a maximum likelihood classification is available via model = 'mlc'.

tuneLength

Integer. Number of levels for each tuning parameter (see train for details).

kfold

Integer. Number of cross-validation resamples during model tuning.

minDist

Numeric. Minumum distance between training and validation data, e.g. minDist=1 clips validation polygons to ensure a minimal distance of one pixel (pixel size according to img) to the next training polygon. Requires all data to carry valid projection information.

mode

Character. Model type: 'regression' or 'classification'.

predict

Logical. Produce a map (TRUE, default) or only fit and validate the model (FALSE).

predType

Character. Type of the final output raster. Either "raw" for class predictions or "prob" for class probabilities. Class probabilities are not available for all classification models (predict.train).

filename

Path to output file (optional). If NULL, standard raster handling will apply, i.e. storage either in memory or in the raster temp directory.

verbose

Logical. prints progress and statistics during execution

overwrite

logical. Overwrite spatial prediction raster if it already exists.

...

further arguments to be passed to train

Details

SuperClass performs the following steps:

  1. Ensure non-overlap between training and validation data. This is neccesary to avoid biased performance estimates. A minimum distance (minDist) in pixels can be provided to enforce a given distance between training and validation data.

  2. Sample training coordinates. If trainData (and valData if present) are polygons superClass will calculate the area per polygon and sample nSamples locations per class within these polygons. The number of samples per individual polygon scales with the polygon area, i.e. the bigger the polygon, the more samples.

  3. Split training/validation If valData was provided (reccomended) the samples from these polygons will be held-out and not used for model fitting but only for validation. If trainPartition is provided the trainingPolygons will be divided into training polygons and validation polygons.

  4. Extract raster data The predictor values on the sample pixels are extracted from img

  5. Fit the model. Using caret::train on the sampled training data the model will be fit, including parameter tuning (tuneLength) in kfold cross-validation. polygonBasedCV=TRUE will define cross-validation folds based on polygons (reccomended) otherwise it will be performed on a per-pixel basis.

  6. Predict the classes of all pixels in img based on the final model.

  7. Validate the model with the independent validation data.

Value

A superClass object (effectively a list) containing:

  1. $model: the fitted model

  2. $modelFit: model fit statistics

  3. $training: indexes of samples used for training

  4. $validation: list of

    1. $performance: performance estimates based on independent validation (confusion matrix etc.)

    2. $validationSamples: actual pixel coordinates plus reference and predicted values used for validation

    3. $validationGeometry: validation polygpns (clipped with mindist to training geometries)

  5. $map: the predicted raster

  6. $classMapping: a data.frame containing an integer <-> label mapping

Topographic Illumination Correction

Description

account and correct for changes in illumination due to terrain elevation.

Usage

topCor(
  img,
  dem,
  metaData,
  solarAngles = c(),
  method = "C",
  stratImg = NULL,
  nStrat = 5,
  illu,
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster. Imagery to correct

dem

SpatRaster. Either a digital elevation model as a RasterLayer or a RasterStack/Brick with pre-calculated slope and aspect (see terrain) in which case the layers must be named 'slope' and 'aspect'. Must have the same dimensions as img.

metaData

Character, ImageMetaData. Either a path to a Landsat meta-data file (MTL) or an ImageMetaData object (see readMeta)

solarAngles

Numeric vector containing sun azimuth and sun zenith (in radians and in that order). Not needed if metaData is provided

method

Character. One of c("cos", "avgcos", "minnaert", "C", "stat", "illu"). Choosing 'illu' will return only the local illumination map.

stratImg

RasterLayer or SpatRaster to define strata, e.g. NDVI. Or the string 'slope' in which case stratification will be on nStrat slope classes. Only relevant if method = 'minnaert'.

nStrat

Integer. Number of bins or quantiles to stratify by. If a bin has less than 50 samples it will be merged with the next bin. Only relevant if method = 'minnaert'.

illu

SpatRaster. Optional pre-calculated ilumination map. Run topCor with method="illu" to calculate an ilumination map

...

arguments passed to writeRaster

Details

For detailed discussion of the various approaches please see Riano et al. (2003).

The minnaert correction can be stratified for different landcover characteristics. If stratImg = 'slope' the analysis is stratified by the slope, i.e. the slope values are divided into nStrat classes and the correction coefficient k is calculated and applied separately for each slope class. An alternative could be to stratify by a vegetation index in which case an additional raster layer has to be provided via the stratImg argument.

Value

SpatRaster

Unsupervised Classification

Description

Unsupervised clustering of SpatRaster data using kmeans clustering

Usage

unsuperClass(
  img,
  nSamples = 10000,
  nClasses = 5,
  nStarts = 25,
  nIter = 100,
  norm = FALSE,
  clusterMap = TRUE,
  algorithm = "Hartigan-Wong",
  output = "classes",
  ...
)

Arguments

img

SpatRaster.

nSamples

Integer. Number of random samples to draw to fit cluster map. Only relevant if clusterMap = TRUE.

nClasses

Integer. Number of classes.

nStarts

Integer. Number of random starts for kmeans algorithm.

nIter

Integer. Maximal number of iterations allowed.

norm

Logical. If TRUE will normalize img first using normImage. Normalizing is beneficial if your predictors have different scales.

clusterMap

Logical. Fit kmeans model to a random subset of the img (see Details).

algorithm

Character. kmeans algorithm. One of c("Hartigan-Wong", "Lloyd", "MacQueen")

output

Character. Either 'classes' (kmeans class; default) or 'distances' (euclidean distance to each cluster center).

...

further arguments to be passed to writeRaster, e.g. filename

Details

Clustering is done using kmeans. This can be done for all pixels of the image (clusterMap=FALSE), however this can be slow and is not memory safe. Therefore if you have large raster data (> memory), as is typically the case with remote sensing imagery it is advisable to choose clusterMap=TRUE (the default). This means that a kmeans cluster model is calculated based on a random subset of pixels (nSamples). Then the distance of *all* pixels to the cluster centers is calculated in a stepwise fashion using predict. Class assignment is based on minimum euclidean distance to the cluster centers.

The solution of the kmeans algorithm often depends on the initial configuration of class centers which is chosen randomly. Therefore, kmeans is usually run with multiple random starting configurations in order to find a convergent solution from different starting configurations. The nStarts argument allows to specify how many random starts are conducted.

Value

Returns an RStoolbox::unsuperClass object, which is a list containing the kmeans model ($model) and the raster map ($map). For output = "classes", $map contains a SpatRaster with discrete classes (kmeans clusters); for output = "distances" $map contains a SpatRaster, with 'nClasses' layers, where each layer maps the euclidean distance to the corresponding class centroid.

Examples

## Not run: 
library(terra)
input <- rlogo

## Plot
