The package
canObsR aims at streamlining, standardizing and facilitating processing of repetead UAV surveys from R. It focuses on RGB data. It notably allows generating 3D and 4D mosaics & mosaics spatial alignment using state-of-the-art approaches, provides tools to generate reference labels, segment crowns (not now) and classify crown phenophases (not now).
Installation
The installation of canObsR involves several steps that go beyond a typical R package to ensure seamless integration between R, Python and Metashape. To avoid dependency conflicts and enabling the package’s full functionality you must follow the full installation process.
Documentation
In addition to the usual R package documentation, we also have extensive docs and examples here
Generate orthomosaics
One of the main functions of the package is to generate orthomosaics and to align them in R, using Metashape and AROSICS. To guide you step by step into the workflow, you should download the test dataset and follow the article.
The generation of orthomosaics is based on Fabrice Vinatier & Denis Feurer’s work, Time-SIFT module for Agisoft Metashape software (2023)
