reduce_space.cube: Reduce a data cube over spatial (x,y or lat,lon) dimensions

In appelmar/gdalcubes_R: Earth Observation Data Cubes from Satellite Image Collections

Reduce a data cube over spatial (x,y or lat,lon) dimensions

Description

Create a proxy data cube, which applies one or more reducer functions to selected bands over spatial slices of a data cube

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cube'
reduce_space(
  x,
  expr,
  ...,
  FUN,
  names = NULL,
  load_pkgs = FALSE,
  load_env = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	source data cube
expr	either a single string, or a vector of strings defining which reducers will be applied over which bands of the input cube
...	optional additional expressions (if expr is not a vector)
FUN	a user-defined R function applied over pixel time series (see Details)
names	character vector; names of the output bands, if FUN is provided, the length of names is used as the expected number of output bands
load_pkgs	logical or character; if TRUE, all currently attached packages will be attached automatically before executing FUN in spawned R processes, specific packages can alternatively be provided as a character vector.
load_env	logical or environment; if TRUE, the current global environment will be restored automatically before executing FUN in spawned R processes, can be set to a custom environment.

Details

Notice that expressions have a very simple format: the reducer is followed by the name of a band in parentheses. You cannot add more complex functions or arguments.

Possible reducers currently include "min", "max", "sum", "prod", "count", "mean", "median", "var", and "sd".

For more details and examples on how to write user-defined functions, please refer to the gdalcubes website at https://gdalcubes.github.io/source/concepts/udfs.html.

Value

proxy data cube object

Note

Implemented reducers will ignore any NAN values (as na.rm=TRUE does).

This function returns a proxy object, i.e., it will not start any computations besides deriving the shape of the result.

Examples

# create image collection from example Landsat data only 
# if not already done in other examples
if (!file.exists(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))) {
  L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
                         ".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
  create_image_collection(L8_files, "L8_L1TP", file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"), quiet = TRUE) 
}

L8.col = image_collection(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))
v = cube_view(extent=list(left=388941.2, right=766552.4, 
              bottom=4345299, top=4744931, t0="2018-01", t1="2018-12"),
              srs="EPSG:32618", nx = 497, ny=526, dt="P1M")
L8.cube = raster_cube(L8.col, v) 
L8.b02 = select_bands(L8.cube, c("B02"))
L8.b02.median = reduce_space(L8.b02, "median(B02)")  
L8.b02.median

plot(L8.b02.median)
