Read hyperspectral imagery from the NEON AOP

Source: R/hs_read.R

The hs_read function reads hyperspectral imagery from NEON's Airborne Observation Platform, and returns a Raster* object.

hs_read(filename, bands, crop = FALSE)

Arguments

filename

Path to an .h5 file containing L3 hyperspectral data (char)
bands

Indices of bands to read (integer)
crop

Optional extent object to use in cropping

Value

Raster* object containing hyperspectral data

Examples

library(raster)
#> Loading required package: sp
path_to_file <- system.file('extdata', 'ex.h5', package = 'neonhs')

# read the full spatial extent of a file
r <- hs_read(path_to_file, bands = 1:4)

# read a subset of a file based on a cropping extent
extent_to_read <- extent(c(257000, 257020, 4111980, 4112100))
subset_r <- hs_read(path_to_file, bands = 1:4, crop = extent_to_read)
