Tiling of a Geospatial raster in R
It often happens that we want to process some raster data faster or simply split it up. For this we need a tool for tiling rasters. Of course we can write such a tool ourselves, but why should we do that, because in the rich repository of R there is surely already such a tool 🙂 With the help of this task, we will have the meteo library and the tiling function at our disposal. This function allows us to create tiles of a certain size and with a buffer. Additionally, the created tiles can be saved directly to a specified folder. You will see how to do this in the new video:
Code from the video below:
install.packages("meteo") library("meteo") library(raster) r <- raster("D:/GIS_in_R/B08.tif") plot(r,col = grey.colors(255)) r t <- tiling(r, tilesize = 10000) t t<- tiling(r,tilesize = 1000,overlapping = 0) plot(t[[1]],col=grey.colors(255)) t <- tiling(r,tilesize = 10000,overlapping = 0,asfiles = T, tilename = "sent_tile_",tiles_folder = "d:/GIS_in_R/sent_tiles/") list.files("d:/GIS_in_R/sent_tiles/")
