In satellite: Handling and Manipulating Remote Sensing Data

satellite 1.0.4 2021-10-12

Changes:

• Included terra imports of crop(), extend() conditional on raster version (#42).

satellite 1.0.3 2021-10-06

Changes:

• Revised JSS (and other) links (#40).

satellite 1.0.2

Changes:

• Replaced all class() calls with inherits(). Starting with R version 4.0.0, "matrix" objects also inherit from class "array", which invalidates code assuming that length(class(obj)) == 1.
• Fixed broken links.
• Switched to MIT license.
• Roxygen2 update.

satellite 1.0.1

Bugfixes:

• calcAtmosCorr() was not compatible with NA values, ie quantile() failed.
• compFilePathLandsat() failed when specifying metadata files with new naming standard as input.
• compMetaLandsat() assigned Landsat 7 metadata information, eg parameters required for radiometric rescaling, to wrong bands.

satellite 1.0.0

New features:

• Inverse squared relative earth-sun distance from calcEarthSunDist().
• calcTopoCorr,Raster*() methods accept additional arguments (via '...') passed to writeRaster().
• crop,Satellite-method takes a new argument 'snap' similar to raster::crop().
• extend,Satellite-method takes a new argument 'value' which is assigned to new cells similar to raster::extend().
• satellite is compatible with pre-collection Level-1 and Collection 1 Level-1 file naming.
• sortFilesLandsat() to automatically sort Landsat band files in ascending order.

Bugfixes:

• plot,Satellite-method ignored band codes to be visualized if 'bcde = ' assignment was not explicitly included.
• Solved 'Error in .local(.Object, ...) :' when trying to retrieve values from built-in data sets l7, l8.

Changes:

• calcHistMatch() and panSharp() moved to satelliteTools (https://github.com/environmentalinformatics-marburg/satelliteTools).
• Mandatory use of Rcpp functionality in calcPathRadDOS().
• Added helper functions in R/pck_data.R and R/pck_lut.R to .Rbuildignore.
• Revised sensor IDs for Landsat 4 (LT4 for 'Landsat Thematic Mapper') and 5 (LT5).
• Updated ESun values (https://landsat.usgs.gov/esun) for Landsat 4, 5 and 7.
• Updated spectral range of Landsat 7 band 7 (https://landsat.usgs.gov/landsat-7-history).
• Moved Rcpp from Depends to Imports.
• Built-in data sets l7, l8 now originate from Landsat Collection 1 Level-1 instead of previous Pre-Collection 1 Level-1.
• Removed deprecated convDN2RU(), users must switch to convSC2Rad(), convSC2Ref() and convRad2BT() instead.
