GeoIndexR: A flexible, fast, and extensible R framework for computing spectral and geospatial indices from raster data, combining ready-to-use standard indices with a secure custom formula engine.
Built natively on terra,
GeoIndexR enables researchers, remote sensing
scientists, and GIS professionals to calculate standard indices or
define their own custom formulas seamlessly.
