IR: Constructors of infra-red wavebands

Description

The wavelength limits for std = "RS" and Landsat imagers have been taken from R package RStools and NASA and USGS documentation. They are defined simply as wavelength ranges without considering the spectral sensitivity of satellite intruments/cameras based on which remote sensing based indexes are usually calculated. The values for std = "ISO" are according to ISO 20473. The values for std = "CIE" are suggested values according to Wikipedia, and need verification.

Usage

IR(std = "ISO")
NIR(std = "ISO")
IRA(std = "CIE")
SWIR(std = "CIE")
IRB(std = "CIE")
SWIR1(std = "RS")
SWIR2(std = "RS")
MIR(std = "ISO")
IRC(std = "CIE")
FIR(std = "ISO")
TIR1(std = "RS")
TIR2(std = "RS")

Arguments

std

character string, "ISO", "CIE", or Landsat imagers named "LandsatRBV", "LandsatMSS", etc., or "RS", for remote sensing wavebands as defined in the documentation of package 'RStoolbox'.

Value

a waveband object wavelength defining a wavelength range.

Details

The names NIR, SWIR and TIR are abbreviations of near infra-red, short-wave infra-red and thermal infra-red, respectively.
