rstoat (version 1.0.2)

start_annotation_simple: Start simple annotation

Description

Submit a dataframe for on-the-fly annotation. Does not require login - for use for small numbers of records and pilot jobs.

You can annotate using layers that are on earthengine! Layer parameters: Used by all:

• spatial: The spatial buffer in meters.

• temporal: The temporal buffer in days.

For STOAT layers:

• product: The product e.g "srtm", or "landsat8".

• variable; The vairable, e.g "elevation", or "evi".

For non STOAT layers, ie those in Google Earth Engine:

• id: The id of the image in Google Earth Engine, mapped to "product" in the output.

• static: Whether to load the imagery as an ImageCollection or as an Image.

• bands: A list, wiht one element, which is used to specify which band of the imagery to use for the annotation, mapped to "variable" in the output.

• reducers: A list containing one or more of the following:

  • mean

  • lcv_count

  • mode

  • median

  • stdev

  • min

  • max

  • stdev

  If only one is provided the output will be assigned to "value", else the output will be named the same as the reducer.

Usage

start_annotation_simple(
  events,
  layers,
  coords = c("lng", "lat"),
  date = "date"
)

Arguments

events

A data.frame for on the fly annotation

layers

A list of parameters or vector of codes, of the layers, see the examples below.

coords

A vector of length 2 containing column names for record longitudes, and latitudes.

date

Column name for record dates, dates must take the format YYYY-MM-DD

Value

Input data.frame with values from the annotation appended, in addition to unique identifier field event_id.

• event_id: A unique identifier for each occurrence

• product: Product used for annotation

• variable: Variable used for annotation

• s_buff: Spatial buffer in meters applied to occurrence

• t_buff: Temporal buffer in days applied to occurrence

• value: Annotated value of occurrence from requested layer (mean within buffer), if there is only one reducer (default), then this value will be here.

• stdev: Standard deviation of values within buffer

• valid_pixel_count: Number of pixels within buffered area'

Examples

# NOT RUN {
events <- data.frame(
   event_id = as.character(1:2),
   lng = c(-4, 24),
   lat = c(10, 10),
   date = '2015-01-01'
)

# simple layer string format: PRODUCT-VARIABLE-S_BUFF-T_BUFF
layers <- 'landsat8-evi-100-16'
start_annotation_simple(events, layers)

start_annotation_simple(events, layers)

# For lcv_count (Count of landcover value), 'value' returned is a string of
# landcover counts within the AOI.
# The output format is:
#  <LANDCOVER_CLASS>:<COUNT_OF_PIXELS_WITH_THAT_CLASS>
#  classes are seperated by commas.
