🔗Extract Raster Values
Below is a method to use the raster package
extract()
function to get a subet of rasterBrick values. To be specific, I need to extract all raster values that are within a polygon boundary. In the past I have usedcrop()
,mask()
and then thegetValues()
functions from theraster
package to subset data values within a polygon. But that method returns a data frame with a ton of NA values (anything outside of the crop area in the raster is an NA). This is fine most of the time but the current project that I am working on requires almost all of the memory on my computer. I'm working with extremely large rasters (2Gb). Removing the NA values after thecrop()
,mask()
, andgetValues()
process crashes my computer. So I need a more effecient process. -

🔗Raster Distance Calculations
There are many cases when I have needed to calculate a distance from a point or many points to a feature in GIS. Until recently I have always used the near tool. This works really well for small datasets but can take forever with larger datasets. The near calculation also only works with points (I'm sure that there is a raster equivalent I just haven't done the research on it). I also really like to document where I got my data. You can do that in ArcGIS but it is an added step to do it.
