add_images: Add images to an existing image collection

Description

This function adds provided files or GDAL dataset identifiers and to an existing image collection by extracting datetime, image identifiers, and band information according to the collection's format.

Usage

add_images(
  image_collection,
  files,
  unroll_archives = TRUE,
  out_file = "",
  quiet = FALSE
)

Value

image collection proxy object, which can be used to create a data cube using raster_cube

Arguments

image_collection

image_collection object or path to an existing collection file

files

character vector with paths to image files on disk or any GDAL dataset identifiers (including virtual file systems and higher level drivers or GDAL subdatasets)

unroll_archives

automatically convert .zip, .tar archives and .gz compressed files to GDAL virtual file system dataset identifiers (e.g. by prepending /vsizip/) and add contained files to the list of considered files

out_file

path to output file, an empty string (the default) will update the collection in-place, whereas images will be added to a new copy of the image collection at the given location otherwise.

quiet

logical; if TRUE, do not print resulting image collection if return value is not assigned to a variable

Examples

L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
                         ".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
L8_col = create_image_collection(L8_files[1:12], "L8_L1TP") 
add_images(L8_col, L8_files[13:24])
