prismaread

prismaread allows easily importing PRISMA hyperspectral data (http://www.prisma-i.it/index.php/it/) from the original data provided by ASI in HDF format, and convert them to a easier to use format (ENVI or GeoTiff). It also provides functionality to automatically computing Spectral Indexes from either the original HDF data or from hyperspectral data already converted using function pr_convert, and for easily and quickly extract data and compute statistics for the different bands over areas of interest.

prismaread was developed by Lorenzo Busetto, Institute of Remote Sensing of Environment - National Research Council - Italy (CNR-IREA)

Lorenzo maintained prismaread until 21st October 2020, when he suddenly passed away. Currently the package development is frozen. If you need help, please refer to the package documentation at irea-cnr-mi.github.io/prismaread.

Installation

You can install prismaread from GitHub using:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("irea-cnr-mi/prismaread")
library(prismaread)

Usage

See prismaread website for further instructions and info on output formats.

Future Work

• Improve speed of writing FULL hyperspectral cubes

• Clean up code
