In Rnightlights: Satellite Nightlight Data Extraction

Description

extract data from a raster using one polygon in a multipolygon.

Usage

masqVIIRS(ctryPoly, ctryRast, idx, retVal = "colrowval", configName)

Arguments

ctryPoly	the country Polygon layer as SpatialPolygon
ctryRast	the clipped country raster
idx	the index of the polygon in the country polygon layer (shp)
retVal	Whether to return the raster data as a vector, or data.frame with spatial context NULL returns a vector of all values, colrowval returns a data.frame with row, col and raster value while lonlatval returns a data.frame with lon,lat and val.
configName	character the type of raster being processed

Value

numeric vector of radiances

Examples

## Not run: 
ctryPoly <- rgdal::readOGR('path/to/polygon.shp')

ctryRaster <- raster::raster('path/to/raster.tif')

#get the sum of nightlight pixels in the first polygon in a multipolygon
sumPolygon1 <- sum(masqVIIRS(ctryPoly, ctryRaster, 1), na.rm=T)

## End(Not run)
