Package to calculate Canopy Openness Index (COI) from canopy images
require("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Edbbioeco/coiR")coiR package is downloaded now, so we can library it.
Additionally, we library the following packages:
terra: import images files as rasters;
purrr: create loops for multiple operations;
ggplot2: create elegant graphs for imported images;
tidyterra: visualize RGB raster
library(coiR)
library(terra)
library(purrr)
library(ggplot2)
library(tidyterra)Now, we need to import our data Images may be shotten photos, as
.png, .jpg or .jpeg files. first, we import package exemple data, using
coiR::coir_data() function, and import them using
terra::rast() function for every image, throught a loop
with purrr::map() function. Our images
(images) are setted as a list class object.
images <- purrr::map(coiR::data_coir(),
~.x |> terra::rast())

loop, through ggplot and
tidyterra::geom_spatraster_rgb() function.
purrr::map(images,
purrr::in_parallel(
~ggplot() +
tidyterra::geom_spatraster_rgb(data = .x) +
theme_void()
),
.progress = TRUE)[[1]]

For our exemples, lets work in two ways: run for a single and run for multiple images. Lets set first image as a single image.
single_image <- images[[1]]Usely, canopy images are shotten photos, square images. For our
analysis, we need to crop images into circles. We use
coiR::coir_crop() |function.

purrr::map() loop.

coiR::coir_binarize() function. To avoid replot canopy
image, we use plot = FALSE argument at
coiR::coir_crop() function. To facilite our analysis, lets
use pipe (|>) to conect functions output.

get that value. To avoid replot cropped and binarized images, we set
plot = FALSE for both coiR::coir_crop() and
coiR::coir_binarize() functions.

purrr::imap_dfr(), to get image names.
