very new R user - northing and easting issue for window - r

I want to draw a polygonal map in R (R3.0.2) and am getting nowhere. my polygon data is:
1768233.661.5912880.909
1767890.645,5912896.291
1767796.816,5913007.04
1767764.514,5913082.411
1767813.736,5913165.474
1767964.478,5913137.786
1768067.537,5913062.415
1768112.144,5913080.873
1768149.061,5913113.175
1768185.163,5913095.389
1768234.212,5913088.382
1768197.425,5913007.801
1768435.163,5912936.284
1768435.163,5912903.982
1768358.254,5912873.218
and I'm Ok getting it into R, but then I need to enter northing, easting for the window which is not working - when I input:
mydata <- read.table("treePolygon.csv", header = TRUE)
attach(mydata)
X <- ppp(Easting, Northing, c(1767750.7261, 1768447.9275), c(5912848.3905, 5913186.4806))
I get:
The following object is masked from mydata (position 3):
X1768233.661.5912880.909
The following object is masked from mydata (position 4):
X1768233.661.5912880.909
The following object is masked from mydata (position 5):
X1768233.661.5912880.909
I'm really new at this and quite lost.

If you've copied it exactly, the problem might be that your first data pair is separated by a period instead of a comma.

So first of all fix the comma. Second, your data has to actually have a header. This works:
library(spatstat)
mydata <- read.csv(header=T,text="Easting,Northing
1768233.661,5912880.909
1767890.645,5912896.291
1767796.816,5913007.04
1767764.514,5913082.411
1767813.736,5913165.474
1767964.478,5913137.786
1768067.537,5913062.415
1768112.144,5913080.873
1768149.061,5913113.175
1768185.163,5913095.389
1768234.212,5913088.382
1768197.425,5913007.801
1768435.163,5912936.284
1768435.163,5912903.982
1768358.254,5912873.218")
X <- with(mydata,ppp(Easting,
Northing,
c(1767750.7261, 1768447.9275), c(5912848.3905, 5913186.4806)))
X
# planar point pattern: 15 points
# window: rectangle = [1767750.7, 1768447.9] x [5912848, 5913186] units
plot(X)
Using attach(...) is generally not recommended - at causes all kinds of problems unless you remember to detach(...)

Thanks for putting me on the right track!
I finally drew a polygonal window using the example on p40 of Intro. to spatstat, Baddeley & Turner, for spatstat 1.8-6:
tab <- read.table(file="C:/N/0Random/0 TestData/fieldtrees.tab")
bdry <- scan("C:/N/0Random/0 TestData/field.tab", what=list(x=0,y=0))
plot(owin(poly=bdry))
I did have to swap the order of the points as R couldn't use them to write the polygon.
I'm now going to carry on with p40 of Intro. to spatstat, and ultimately hope to use Michael Bedward's Circle Packing with R to fill my space with different diameter circles.

Normalizing an R stars object by grid area?

first post :)
I've been transitioning my R code from sp() to sf()/stars(), and one thing I'm still trying to grasp is accounting for the area in my grids.
Here's an example code to explain what I mean.
library(stars)
library(tidyverse)
# Reading in an example tif file, from stars() vignette
tif = system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")
x = read_stars(tif)
x
# Get areas for each grid of the x object. Returns stars object with "area" in units of [m^2]
x_area <- st_area(x)
x_area
I tried loosely adopting code from this vignette (https://github.com/r-spatial/stars/blob/master/vignettes/stars5.Rmd) to divide each value in x by it's grid area, and it's not working as expected (perhaps because my objects are stars and not sf?)
x$test1 = x$L7_ETMs.tif / x_area # Some computationally intensive calculation seems to happen, but doesn't produce the results I expect?
x$test1 = x$L7_ETMs.tif / x_area$area # Throws error, "non-conformable arrays"
What does seem to work is the following.
x %>%
mutate(test1 = L7_ETMs.tif / units::set_units(as.numeric(x_area$area), m^2))
Here are the concerns I have with this code.
I worry that as I turn the x_area$area (a matrix, areas in lat/lon) into a numeric vector, I may mess up the lat/lon matching between the grid and it's area. I did some rough testing to see if the areas match up the way I expect them to, but can't escape the worry that this could lead to errors that are difficult to catch.
It just doesn't seem clean that I start with "x_area" in the correct units, only to remove then set the units again during the computation.
Can someone suggest a "cleaner" implementation for what I'm trying to do, i.e. multiplying or dividing grids by its area while maintaining units throughout? Or convince me that the code I have is fine?
Thanks!
I do not know how to improve the stars code, but you can compare the results you get with this
tif <- system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")
library(terra)
r <- rast(tif)
a <- cellSize(r, sum=FALSE)
x <- r / a
With planar data you could do this when it is safe to assume there is no distortion (generally not the case, but it can be the case)
y <- r / prod(res(r))

Analyzing octopus catches with LinearK function in R [closed]

Closed. This question needs debugging details. It is not currently accepting answers.
Edit the question to include desired behavior, a specific problem or error, and the shortest code necessary to reproduce the problem. This will help others answer the question.
Closed 3 years ago.
Improve this question
I hope you can help me with this problem i can't find how to overcome. Sorry if I made some mistakes while writing this post, my english is a bit rusty right now.
Here is the question. I have .shp data that I want to analyze in R. The .shp can be either lines that represent lines of traps we set to catch octopuses or points located directly over those lines, representing where we had catured one.
The question i'm trying to answer is: Are octopuses statistically grouped or not?
After a bit of investigation it seems to me that i need to use R and its linearK function to answer that question, using the libraries Maptools, SpatStat and Sp.
Here is the code i'm using in RStudio:
Loading the libraries
library(spatstat)
library(maptools)
library(sp)
Creating a linnet object with the track
t1<- as.linnet(readShapeSpatial("./20170518/t1.shp"))
I get the following warning but it seems to work
Warning messages:
1: use rgdal::readOGR or sf::st_read
2: use rgdal::readOGR or sf::st_read
Plotting it to be sure everything is ok
plot(t1)
Creating a ppp object with the points
p1<- as.ppp(readShapeSpatial("./20170518/p1.shp"))
I get the same warning here, but the real problems start when I try to plot it:
> plot(p1)
Error in if (!is.vector(xrange) || length(xrange) != 2 || xrange[2L] < :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning messages:
1: Interpretation of arguments maxsize and markscale has changed (in spatstat version 1.37-0 and later). Size of a circle is now measured by its diameter.
2: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
3: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
4: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
5: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
6: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
7: In plot.ppp(x, ..., multiplot = FALSE, do.plot = FALSE) :
All mark values are NA; plotting locations only.
Now what is left is to join the objects in a lpp object and to analyze it with the linearK function
> pt1 <- lpp(p1,t1)
> linearK(pt1)
Function value object (class ‘fv’)
for the function r -> K[L](r)
......................................
Math.label Description
r r distance argument r

......................................
Default plot formula: .~r
where “.” stands for ‘est’
Recommended range of argument r: [0, 815.64]
Available range of argument r: [0, 815.64]
This is my situation right now. What i dont know is why the plot function is not working with my ppp object and how to understant the return of the linearK function. Help(linearK) didn't provide any clue. Since i have a lot of tracks, each with its set of points, my desired outcome would be some kind of summary like x tracks analized, a grouped, b dispersed and c unkown.
Thank you for your time, i'll greatly appreciate if you can help me solve this problem.
Edit: Here is a link to a zip file containing al the shp files of one day, both tracks and points, and a txt file with my code. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0uvwT-2l4A5ODJpOTdCekIxWUU
First two pieces of general advice: (1) each time you create a complicated object, print it at the terminal, to see if it is what you expected. (2) When you get an error, immediately type traceback() and copy the output. This will reveal exactly where the error is detected.
A ppp object must include a specification of the study region (window). In your code, the object p1 is created by converting data of class SpatialPointsDataFrame, which do not include a specification of the study region, converted via the function as.ppp.SpatialPointsDataFrame, into an object of class ppp in which the window is guessed by taking the bounding box of the coordinates. Unfortunately, in your example, there is only one data point in p1, so the default bounding box is a rectangle of width 0 and height 0. [This would have been revealed by printing p1.] Such objects can usually be handled by spatstat, but this particular object triggers a bug in the function plot.solist which expects windows to have non-zero size. I will fix the bug, but...
In your case, I suggest you do
Window(p1) <- Window(t1)
immediately after creating p1. This will ensure that p1 has the window that you probably intended.
If all else fails, read the spatstat vignette on shapefiles...
I have managed to find a solution. As Adrian Baddeley noticed there was a problem with the owin object. That problem seems to be bypassed (not really solved) if I create the ppp object in a manual way instead of converting my set of points.
I have also changed the readShapeFile function for the rgdal::readOGR, since the first once was deprecated, and that was the reason of the warnings I was getting.
This is the R script i'm using right now, commented to clarify:
#first install spatstat, maptools y sp
#load them
library(spatstat)
library(maptools)
library(sp)
#create an array of folders, will add more when everything works fine
folders=c("20170518")
for(f in folders){
#read all shp from that folder, both points and tracks
pointfiles <- list.files(paste("./",f,"/points", sep=""), pattern="*.shp$")
trackfiles <- list.files(paste("./",f,"/tracks", sep=""), pattern="*.shp$")
#for each point and track couple
for(i in 1:length(pointfiles)){
#create a linnet object with the track
t<- as.linnet(rgdal::readOGR(paste("./",f,"/tracks/",trackfiles[i], sep="")))
#plot(t)
#create a ppp object for each set of points
pre_p<-rgdal::readOGR(paste("./",f,"/points/",pointfiles[i], sep=""))
#plot(p)
#obtain the coordinates the current set of points
c<-coordinates(pre_p)
#create vector of x coords
xc=c()
#create vector of y coords
yc=c()
#not a very good way to fill my vectors but it works for my study area
for(v in c){
if(v>4000000){yc<-c(yc,v)}
else {if(v<4000000 && v>700000){xc<-c(xc,v)}}
}
print(xc)
print(yc)
#create a ppp object using the vectors of x and y coords, and a window object
#extracted from my set of points
p=ppp(xc,yc,Window(as.ppp(pre_p)))
#join them into an lpp object
pt <- lpp(p,t)
#plot(pt)
#analize it with the linearK function, nsim=9 for testing purposes
#envelope.lpp is the method for analyzing linear point patterns
assign(paste("results",f,i,sep="_"),envelope.lpp(pt, nsim=9, fun=linearK))
}#end for each points & track set
}#end for each day of study
So as you can see this script is testing for CSR each couple of points and track for each day, working fine right now. Unfortunately I have not managed to create a report or reportlike with the results yet (or even to fully understand them), I'll keep working on that. Of course I can use any advice you have, since this is my first try with R and many newie mistakes will happen.
The script and the shp files with the updated folder structure can be found here(113 KB size)

Use Rcartogram on a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object

I'm trying to do the same thing asked in this question, Cartogram + choropleth map in R, but starting from a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame and hoping to end up with the same type of object.
I could save the object as a shapefile, use scapetoad, reopen it and convert back, but I'd rather have it all within R so that the procedure is fully reproducible, and so that I can code dozens of variations automatically.
I've forked the Rcartogram code on github and added my efforts so far here.
Essentially what this demo does is create a SpatialGrid over the map, look up the population density at each point of the grid and convert this to a density matrix in the format required for cartogram() to work on. So far so good.
But, how to interpolate the original map points based on the output of cartogram()?
There are two problems here. The first is to get the map and grid into the same units to allow interpolation. The second is to access every point of every polygon, interpolate it, and keep them all in right order.
The grid is in grid units and the map is in projected units (in the case of the example longlat). Either the grid must be projected into longlat, or the map into grid units. My thought is to make a fake CRS and use this along with the spTransform() function in package(rgdal), since this handles every point in the object with minimal fuss.
Accessing every point is difficult because they are several layers down into the SpPDF object: object>polygons>Polygons>lines>coords I think. Any ideas how to access these while keeping the structure of the overall map intact?
This problem can be solved with the getcartr package, available on Chris Brunsdon's GitHub, as beautifully explicated in this blog post.
The quick.carto function does exactly what you want -- takes a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as input and has a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as output.
Reproducing the essence of the example in the blog post here in case the link goes dead, with my own style mixed in & typos fixed:
(Shapefile; World Bank population data)
library(getcartr)
library(maptools)
library(data.table)
world <- readShapePoly("TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shp")
#I use data.table, see blog post if you want a base approach;
# data.table wonks may be struck by the following step as seeming odd;
# see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32380338
# and here: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/1310
# for some background on what's going on.
world#data <- setDT(world#data)
world.pop <- fread("sp.pop.totl_Indicator_en_csv_v2.csv",
select = c("Country Code", "2013"),
col.names = c("ISO3", "pop"))
world#data[world.pop, Population := as.numeric(i.pop), on = "ISO3"]
#calling quick.carto has internal calls to the
# necessary functions from Rcartogram
world.carto <- quick.carto(world, world$Population, blur = 0)
#plotting with a color scale
x <- world#data[!is.na(Population), log10(Population)]
ramp <- colorRampPalette(c("navy", "deepskyblue"))(21L)
xseq <- seq(from = min(x), to = max(x), length.out = 21L)
#annoying to deal with NAs...
cols <- ramp[sapply(x, function(y)
if (length(z <- which.min(abs(xseq - y)))) z else NA)]
plot(world.carto, col = cols,
main = paste0("Cartogram of the World's",
" Population by Country (2013)"))

Make a 3D rendered plot of time-series

I have a set of 3D coordinates (below - just for a single point, in 3D space):
x <- c(-521.531433, -521.511658, -521.515259, -521.518127, -521.563416, -521.558044, -521.571228, -521.607178, -521.631165, -521.659973)
y <- c(154.499557, 154.479568, 154.438705, 154.398682, 154.580688, 154.365189, 154.3564, 154.559189, 154.341309, 154.344223)
z <- c(864.379272, 864.354675, 864.365479, 864.363831, 864.495667, 864.35498, 864.358582, 864.50415, 864.35553, 864.359863)
xyz <- data.frame(x,y,z)
I need to make a time-series plot of this point with a 3D rendering (so I can rotate the plot, etc.). The plot will visualize a trajectory of the point above in time (for example in the form of solid line). I used 'rgl' package with plot3d method, but I can't make it to plot time-series (below, just plot a single point from first frame in time-series):
require(rgl)
plot3d(xyz[1,1],xyz[1,2],xyz[1,3],axes=F,xlab="",ylab="",zlab="")
I found this post, but it doesn't really deal with a real-time rendered 3D plots. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
If you read help(plot3d) you can see how to draw lines:
require(rgl)
plot3d(xyz$x,xyz$y,xyz$z,type="l")
Is that what you want?
How about this? It uses rgl.pop() to remove a point and a line and draw them as a trail - change the sleep argument to control the speed:
ts <- function(xyz,sleep=0.3){
plot3d(xyz,type="n")
n = nrow(xyz)
p = points3d(xyz[1,])
l = lines3d(xyz[1,])
for(i in 2:n){
Sys.sleep(sleep)
rgl.pop("shapes",p)
rgl.pop("shapes",l)
p=points3d(xyz[i,])
l=lines3d(xyz[1:i,])
}
}
The solution was simpler than I thought and the problem was that I didn't use as.matrix on my data. I was getting error (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double' when I was simply trying to plot my entire dataset using plot3d (found a solution for this here). So, if you need to plot time-series of set of coordinates (in my case motion capture data of two actors) here is my complete solution (only works with the data set below!):
download example data set
read the above data into a table:
data <- read.table("Bob12.txt",sep="\t")
extract XYZ coordinates into a separate matrixes:
x <- as.matrix(subset(data,select=seq(1,88,3)))
y <- as.matrix(subset(data,select=seq(2,89,3)))
z <- as.matrix(subset(data,select=seq(3,90,3)))
plot the coordinates on a nice, 3D rendered plot using 'rgl' package:
require(rgl)
plot3d(x[1:nrow(x),],y[1:nrow(y),],z[1:nrow(z),],axes=F,xlab="",ylab="",zlab="")
You should get something like on the image below (but you can rotate it etc.) - hope you can recognise there are joint centers for people there. I still need to tweak it to make it visually better - to have first frame as a points (to clearly see actor's joints), then a visible break, and then the rest of frames as a lines.

Using R for simple image/pattern-recognition task?

I have an image with many dots, and I would like to extract from it what is the x-y location of each dot.
I already know how to do this manually (there is a package for doing it).
However, is there some way of doing it automatically ?
(My next question will be - is there a a way, when having an image of many lines, to detect where the lines intersect/"touch each other")
Due to requests in the comments, here is an example for an image to "solve" (i.e: extract the data point locations for it)
#riddle 1 (find dots):
plot(cars, pch = 19)
#riddle 2 (find empty center circles):
plot(cars, pch = 1)
#riddle 2 (fine intersection points):
plot(cars, pch = 3)
#riddle 3 (find intersections between lines):
plot(cars, pch = 1, col = "white")
lines(stats::lowess(cars))
abline(v = c(5,10,15,20,25))
Thanks, Tal
(p.s: since I am unfamiliar with this field, I am sorry if I am using the wrong terminology or asking something too simple or complex. Is this OMR?)
The Medical Imaging Task View covers general image provessing, this may be a start.
Following up after Dirk, yes check the medical imaging task view. Also look at Rforge,
Romain Francois has an RJImage package and another image processing package was recently registered. What you are looking for are segmentation algorithms. Your dots problem is much easier than the line problem. The first can be done with an RGB or greyscale filter, just doing some sort of radius search. Detecting linear features is harder. Once you hve the features extracted you can use a sweepline algorithm to detect intersections. EBIimage may have an example for detecting cells in the vignette.

I think you could use package raster to extract xy coordinates from an image with specific values. Have a look at the package vignettes.
EDIT
Can you try this and tell me if it's in the ball park of what you're looking for?
I hope the code with comments is quite self-explanatory. Looking forward to your answer!
library(raster)
rst <- raster(nrows = 100, ncols = 100) #create a 100x100 raster
rst[] <- round(runif(ncell(rst))) #populate raster with values, for simplicity we round them to 0 and 1
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(rst) #see what you've got so far
rst.vals <- getValues(rst) #extract values from rst object
rst.cell.vals <- which(rst.vals == 1) #see which cells are 1
coords <- xyFromCell(rst, rst.cell.vals) #get coordinates of ones
rst[rst.cell.vals] <- NA #set those raster cells that are 1 to NA (you can play with rst[!rst.cell.vals] <- NA to exclude all others)
plot(rst) #a diag plot, should have only one color
