oneHotEncode: One-hot encode a raster or vector

Description

Splits a categorical raster layer (or a vector) into a multilayer raster (or matrix).

Usage

oneHotEncode(img, classes, background = 0, foreground = 1, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Value

A SpatRaster with as many layers as there are classes. Pixels matching the class of interest are set to 1, backround values by default are set to 0 (see background argument)

Arguments

img

RasterLayer or SpatRaster or integer/numeric vector containing multiple classes

classes

integer: vector of classes which should be extracted

background

integer: background value (default = 0)

foreground

integer: foreground value (default = 1)

na.rm

logical: if TRUE, NAs will be coerced to the background value.

...

further arguments passed to writeRaster. Ignored if img is not a SpatRaster, but a numeric/integer vector or matrix

Examples

# \donttest{
sc <- unsuperClass(rlogo, nClasses = 3)

## one-hot encode 
sc_oneHot <- oneHotEncode(sc$map, classes = c(1,2,3))

## check results
sc_oneHot
# }
