README

An R package for computing RGB-based vegetation and color indices from digital images.

Installation

devtools::install_local("rgbIndices")

Example

library(rgbIndices)
library(raster)

# ---------------------------
# Fast example (CRAN-safe)
# ---------------------------
r <- raster(matrix(runif(30*30), 30, 30))
g <- raster(matrix(runif(30*30), 30, 30))
b <- raster(matrix(runif(30*30), 30, 30))
img <- stack(r, g, b)

# Compute indices
idx  <- rgb_basic(img)
idx1 <- rgb_diff(img)
idx2 <- rgb_ratio(img)
idx3 <- rgb_normdiff(img)
idx4 <- rgb_veg(img)
idx5 <- rgb_color(img)

# Summary statistics
rgb_indices_to_mean(idx)

# Convert to table
tbl <- rgb_indices_to_tbl(idx)
head(tbl)

# ---------------------------
# Real image example
# ---------------------------
img_real <- stack(rgb_example())
plotRGB(img_real)
rgb_basic(img_real)
