Prior Versions

The first release of this Andromeda package, it was designed for the 2023 iteration of the QUEST program at Princeton University. This release did contain both the multidimensional scaling Andromeda visualization, along with the iNaturalist data fetching feature, though the data fetch was specific to the Princeton, NJ area due to our need to pre-establish the satellite RGB information and the land cover data.

  • The satellite RGB data came from satellite images centered at locations at which the QUEST team were expected to photograph, on which an R program was run to cluster the RGB of these satellite images, then summarize the clusters. This summary is what was used for the dataset.
  • The landcover data made use of landcover classifications provided by the NJDEP Bureau of GIS (full source info) on ArcGIS. This data was pulled and processed from ArcGIS using their API (see description in data retrieval), which did not provide a sufficiently consistent connection to access in real-time. This data gathering step was later replaced with the latlonCover package that utilizes CropScape data which can be pulled and processed in real-time.
    • Both of these tools follow the same principle of taking both a small and big area around the given coordinate point (latitude, longitude) and determining the percentage of each type of landcover within the selected areas, as depicted below.

The large gray box depicts the satellite image coverage. The small blue box has 1/2-mi side-lengths, while the larger purple box has 1-mi side-lengths (latlonCover uses 2-mi side-lengths for its larger boxes).
