Dear GIS enthusiasts!
As you already know, R is my favourite tool to work with spatial (raster) data. In some situations however, I am forced to move to a GIS desktop softwarer (à la QGIS) to get some basic information on my raster file. Since switching inbetween two softwares is annoying
Hey!
Today I am going to finish the series on how to increase the speed of processing raster images with R. In the last two posts I talked about changing the rasterOptions() and about parallelisation using foreach(). Both of these options migth give you a decent speed boost and
Hey!
I recently stumbled upon a great tool that I wanted to share with you – Terrapattern. It’s a stunning pattern recognition tool that uses deep convolutional neural networks helping people quickly scan extremely large geographical areas for specific visual features. It can for example help finding you: Ships, Buldings,
Hey there! There is some exciting news about the Sentinel Satellites:
The second in the two-satellite Sentinel-1 radar mission is set for launch from French Guiana on 22 April at 21:02 GMT (23:02 CEST) and you can watch it live on the official ESA stream!!For those of you who want get
Hey there rasterR folks!
I love to code with R – most of my time I am spending on processing raster data with the {raster} package, bceause it’s quite intuitive and easy to use compared to other scripting languages. Sometimes however, when I work on larger datasets or when I
Hey fellow trainers!
Although the Pokémon hype is slowly fading, I would like to show you, how you can programatically search for rare Pokémon with R. The final script will be able to either take coordinates or an adress and look for Pokémon within a given radius. Let’s start.
Hey guys!
I am taking a short break from my vacation in Croatia because I stumbled upon something very interesting that I wanted to share with you. Most of you probably know the online Q&A platform “Stackexchange” and the two GIS and programming related sites stackoverflow.com and Read More
Hello there!
It’s been a while, but after a short creative break I am back with an exciting new tutorial: Plotting google maps images in R using geocoding with the help of the {dismo} package.
{dismo} is actually a package for Species Distribution Modeling but it also includes a function that
Hey rasteR people !
Welcome to the second part of my tutorial on how to increase the processing speed of the R {raster} package. In the previous part I showed you how to speed up R by increasing the maxmemory limit. This part will be a little more
Hey out there!
Today I would like to give you an overview on upcoming and (free) available webinars for GIS, Web mapping and R.
Webinars are very useful to get new insights into new software and developments. Usually they are held by professionals and developers and after each webinar session you
