Interactively Explore (Raster)Images side-by-side

R-CMD-check monthly total CRAN status

slideview enables interactive exploration of (raster)images side-by-side by providing a mouse-controlled slider. This can be especially useful for comparing images of the same region at different time stamps (change detection).

Installation

You can install the released version of slideview from CRAN with:

install.packages("slideview")
