Smart fallback systems when optional packages unavailable
Quick Start Examples:
# One-line mapping (auto-detects everything!) quick_map("mydata.shp") # Calculate multiple vegetation indices indices <- calculate_multiple_indices( red = red_band, nir = nir_band, indices = c("NDVI", "EVI", "SAVI", "PRI") ) # Comprehensive crop analysis crop_analysis <- analyze_crop_vegetation( spectral_data = sentinel_data, crop_type = "corn", analysis_type = "comprehensive" ) # Enhanced NDVI calculation ndvi_enhanced <- calculate_ndvi_enhanced( red_data = red_raster, nir_data = nir_raster, quality_filter = TRUE ) # Fast, reliable RGB plotting plot_rgb_raster(satellite_data, r = 4, g = 3, b = 2, stretch = "hist", title = "False Color")
Recommended Optional Packages:
For enhanced features, consider installing these optional packages:
# For interactive mapping install.packages("leaflet") # For enhanced colors install.packages(c("viridis", "RColorBrewer")) # For advanced remote sensing (optional) install.packages("RStoolbox") # For multi-panel plots (optional) install.packages("patchwork")
Core Dependencies Only:
The package works reliably with just the core dependencies:
terra (raster operations and plotting)
sf (vector operations)
ggplot2 (static mapping)
dplyr (data manipulation)
No complex visualization dependencies required!

Available water indices with their specific applications:
Primary Water Detection Indices:
-
NDWI (McFeeters 1996): (Green - NIR) / (Green + NIR) - Use: Open water body detection, flood mapping - Range: Values from -1 to 1, water bodies typically > 0.3 - Pros: Simple, effective for clear water - Cons: Sensitive to built-up areas, can overestimate water
-
MNDWI (Xu 2006): (Green - SWIR1) / (Green + SWIR1) - Use: Enhanced water detection, urban water bodies - Range: Values from -1 to 1, water bodies typically > 0.5 - Pros: Better separation of water from built-up areas - Cons: Requires SWIR band, less effective with turbid water
Vegetation Moisture Indices:
-
NDMI (Gao 1996): (NIR - SWIR1) / (NIR + SWIR1) - Use: Vegetation water content, drought monitoring - Range: Values from -1 to 1, higher values = more water content - Application: Agriculture, forest fire risk assessment
-
MSI: SWIR1 / NIR - Moisture Stress Index - Use: Plant water stress detection - Range:
[0, 5+]
, lower values = higher moisture -
NDII: (NIR - SWIR1) / (NIR + SWIR1) - Same as NDMI - Use: Alternative name for NDMI, vegetation moisture
Specialized Water Indices:
-
WI: NIR / SWIR1 - Water Index (simple ratio)
-
SRWI: NIR / SWIR1 - Simple Ratio Water Index
-
LSWI: (NIR - SWIR1) / (NIR + SWIR1) - Land Surface Water Index
Band Requirements by Satellite:
-
Landsat 8/9: Green=Band 3, NIR=Band 5, SWIR1=Band 6
-
Sentinel-2: Green=Band 3, NIR=Band 8, SWIR1=Band 11

Use when you have point/polygon locations and want to get values from a raster
- zonal
Use when you have polygons and want statistics from raster data within each polygon
- resample
Use when you need to change raster resolution or align two rasters
- overlay
Use when joining two vector datasets based on spatial relationships
- nearest
Use when you want to find the closest features between two vector datasets
- auto
Let the function choose - works well for standard extract/resample operations
Value
Spatial data object with joined attributes. Return type depends on operation:
- extract (vector → raster)
sf object with new columns containing extracted raster values. Original geometry preserved, new columns named "extracted_" followed by the raster layer name
- zonal (raster → vector)
sf object with new columns containing zonal statistics. Original geometry preserved, new columns named "zonal_" followed by the statistic name and raster layer name
- resample (raster → raster)
SpatRaster with resampled/processed data matching target resolution or scale factor
- overlay (vector → vector)
sf object with intersected/overlaid features combining attributes from both datasets
- nearest
sf object with attributes from nearest features joined
Returned objects include 'spatial_join_info' attribute containing:
method: Join method used
source_type, target_type: Data types processed
processing_time: Time taken (if verbose=TRUE)
timestamp: Processing timestamp
summary_function: Aggregation function used
Common Error Solutions
- CRS Mismatch
"CRS mismatch detected" - Function automatically reprojects data, but manual CRS checking recommended for precision
- Memory Issues
"Large dataset processing" - Reduce chunk_size parameter (try 500000) or set parallel=FALSE
- No Spatial Overlap
"No spatial overlap found" - Check that source and target data cover the same geographic area
- File Not Found
"File does not exist" - Verify file paths and ensure files exist at specified locations
- Missing Bands
"Required bands not found" - For raster operations, ensure expected spectral bands are present
- Invalid Geometries
"Geometry errors" - Function attempts to fix automatically, but check input data quality
Performance Tips
For large datasets (>1M cells): set chunk_size=500000 and parallel=TRUE
Use method="resample" with scale_factor > 1 to reduce data size before complex operations
For time series analysis: consider temporal_tolerance to balance accuracy vs processing speed
When processing multiple datasets: ensure consistent CRS to avoid reprojection overhead
For point extraction: use smaller buffer_distance when possible to reduce processing time
