Replacing values of raster in R to produce landuse-like raster map?

How to map raster data in R?
Map and analyze raster data in R
- Load the libraries.
- Download the sample data.
- Read in and reclassify the raster data.
- Read in and map the region data.
- Filter/clip our geographic data to our regions of interest.
- Make a nicer map.
- Extract land cover values by region and tabulate.
- Compare with ArcGIS’s Tabulate Area tool results.
How to add raster data in R?
Use what you’ve learned to open and plot a Digital Surface Model.
- Create an R object called DSM from the raster: DigitalSurfaceModel/SJER2013_DSM. tif .
- Convert the raster data from m to feet.
- Plot the DSM in feet using a custom color map.
- Create numeric breaks that make sense given the distribution of the data.
How to read raster data in R?
Raster files are most easily read in to R with the raster() function from the raster package. You simply pass in the filename (including the extension) of the raster as the first argument, x .
What does raster mean in R?
A raster is a spatially explicit matrix or grid where each cell represents a geographic location. Each cell represents a pixel on a surface. The size of each pixel defines the resolution or res of raster. The smaller the pixel size the finer the spatial resolution.
How do I create a raster map?
Creating raster datasets in a geodatabase
- Right-click a geodatabase and click New > Raster Dataset.
- Type the name of the new raster dataset.
- For Cellsize, set the cell size of the geodatabase raster dataset.
- For Pixel Type, set the pixel type for the geodatabase raster dataset.
Is GeoTIFF raster data?
GeoTIFF are TIFF files that contain spatial referencing information the form of georeferenced raster imagery. Aerial imagery (or aerial photography), satellite imagery, digital elevation models, and shaded relief are some examples of geoTiff files.
Can you edit raster data?
Add the data you want to edit as a layer in a map. Select the raster layer in the Contents Pane. Go to the Imagery tab and click the Pixel Editor button found in the Tools group. When you start an edit session you will get a new Pixel Editor tab containing all the tools to edit your data.
How do I extract raster values to a polygon in R?
These are the main steps in the process:
- Load raster and polygon data.
- Mask and crop the raster layer.
- Subset the multipolygon feature collection.
- Extract the underlying raster values for each feature in the polygon layer.
How to extract raster values at points in R?
Extract Raster Values from Points
- Step 1: Create a Raster stack or Raster brick of your raster files using “raster” package in R.
- Step 2: Read point data, and convert them into spatial points data frame.
- Step 3: Extract raster value by points.
- Step 4: Combine raster values with point and save as a CSV file.
How do I map data in R?
The most basic way to map data in R is to create a regular ggplot object and map longitude to the x aesthetic and latitude to the y aesthetic. You can use this technique to create maps of geographic areas, like states or countries, and to map locations as points, lines, and other shapes.
How do you plot raster data?
Format Plot
If we need to create multiple plots using the same color palette, we can create an R object ( myCol ) for the set of colors that we want to use. We can then quickly change the palette across all plots by simply modifying the myCol object. We can label the x- and y-axes of our plot too using xlab and ylab .
Can you do GIS in R?
R has a full library of tools for working with spatial data. This includes tools for both vector and raster data, as well as interfacing with data from other sources (like ArcGIS) and making maps.
