rasterpic_img {rasterpic}

Convert an image to a geo-tagged SpatRaster

Description

Geotags an image based on the coordinates of a given spatial object.

Usage

rasterpic_img(
  x,
  img,
  halign = 0.5,
  valign = 0.5,
  expand = 0,
  crop = FALSE,
  mask = FALSE,
  inverse = FALSE,
  crs = NULL
)

Arguments

x

R object that may be:

• An object created with sf of class sf, sfc, sfg or bbox).

• An object created with terra of class SpatRaster, SpatVector or SpatExtent.

• A numeric vector of length 4 with the extent to be used for geotagging ( i.e. c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)).

img

An image to be geotagged. It can be a local file or an online file (e.g. "https://i.imgur.com/6yHmlwT.jpeg"). The following image extensions are accepted:

• png.

• jpeg/jpg.

• tiff/tif.

halign, valign

Horizontal and vertical alignment of img with respect to x. It should be a value between 0 and 1:

• ⁠halign = 0, valign = 0⁠ assumes that x should be in the bottom left corner of the SpatRaster.

• ⁠halign = 1, valign = 1⁠ assumes that x should be in the top right corner of the SpatRaster.

• The default ⁠halign = .5, valign = .5⁠ assumes that x is the center of img. See vignette("rasterpic", package = "rasterpic") for examples.

expand

An expansion factor of the bounding box of x. 0 means that no expansion is added, 1 means that the bounding box is expanded to double the original size. See Details.

crop

Logical. Should the raster be cropped to the (expanded) bounding box of x? See Details.

mask

Logical, applicable only if x is a sf, sfc or SpatVector object. Should the raster be masked to x? See Details.

inverse

Logical. It affects only if mask = TRUE. If TRUE, areas on the raster that do not overlap with x are masked.

crs

Character string describing a coordinate reference system. This parameter would only affect if x is a SpatExtent, sfg, bbox or a vector of coordinates. See CRS section.

Details

vignette("rasterpic", package = "rasterpic") explains with examples the effect of parameters halign, valign, expand, crop and mask.

CRS

The function preserves the Coordinate Reference System of x if applicable. For optimal results do not use geographic coordinates (longitude/latitude).

crs can be in a WKT format, as a "authority:number" code such as "EPSG:4326", or a PROJ-string format such as "+proj=utm +zone=12". It can be also retrieved with:

• sf::st_crs(25830)$wkt.

• terra::crs().

• tidyterra::pull_crs().

See Value and Notes on terra::crs().

Value

A SpatRaster object (see terra::rast()) where each layer corresponds to a color channel of img:

• If img has at least 3 channels (e.g. layers), the result would have an additional property setting the layers 1 to 3 as the Red, Green and Blue channels.

• If img already has a definition or RGB values (this may be the case for tiff/tif files) the result would keep that channel definition.

From terra:

• terra::vect(), terra::rast() and terra::ext().

• terra::mask().

• terra::crs().

• terra::RGB().

For plotting:

• terra::plot() and terra::plotRGB().
