Preface
This is a companion book to the HSItools R package, aiming at processing and visualizing hyperspectral scanning data.
Maurycy Żarczyński, David C. Edge, Nick P. McKay, and Paul D. Zander developed the package with the community’s help.
The current requirements to run HSItools are as follows:
- R: >= 4.1.0 is necessary because we depend on the native R pipe and lambda functions introduced with R 4.1.0.
- Rtools (on Windows): >= 4.0 [link]
- QGIS (optionally but heavily encouraged): [link]
These downloads and installation take some time, depending on the Internet speed and your Operating System.
Installation
{HSItools} is currently in development and available only from GitHub.
Package installation
We are using {pak} for installation from remote sources.
QGIS
In our workflow we delegate some of the work to GIS environment, especially marking the raster files, selecting regions and so on. We strongly suggest an Open Source tool like QGIS, however any GIS software, such as ESRI ArcGIS Pro should suffice.
You can find the latest version of QGIS here: https://www.qgis.org
