![]() If a NoDataValue was stored in the GeoTIFF tag, when R If we are less lucky, we can find that information in the If we are lucky, our GeoTIFF file has a tag that tells us what is the Not an acceptable NA value! Or, for categories that number 1-15, 0 might beįine for NA, but using -.000003 will force you to save the GeoTIFF on diskĪs a floating point raster, resulting in a bigger file. For instance, if your data ranges continuously from -20 to 100, 0 is An NA value shouldīe a) outside the range of valid values, and b) a value that fits the data type In some cases, other NA values may be more appropriate. Some disciplines have specific conventions that vary from these The figure -3.4e+38 is a common default, and for integers, -9999 isĬommon. NoDataValue value) varies by the raster data type. The value that is conventionally used to take note of missing data (the To highlight NA values in ggplot, alter the scale_fill_*() layer to contain a colour instruction for NA values, like scale_fill_viridis_c(na.value = 'deeppink') For instance, sometimes data can be missing where a sensor could not ‘see’ its target data, and you may wish to locate that missing data and fill it in. This can be useful when checking a dataset’s coverage. If your raster already has NA values set correctly but you aren’t sure where they are, you can deliberately plot them in a particular colour. The difference here shows up as ragged edges on the plot, rather than black Render pixels that contain a specified NoDataValue. In the next image, the black edges have been assigned NoDataValue. In the image below, the pixels that are black have NoDataValues. This often happens when the data were collected by anĪirplane which only flew over some part of a defined region. ![]() That has a shape that isn’t rectangular, some pixels at the edge of the raster This is a valueĪssigned to pixels where data is missing or no data were collected.īy default the shape of a raster is always rectangular. Raster data often has a NoDataValue associated with it. This series for information on working with multi-band rasters: Regardless of whether it has one or more bands. Byĭefault the raster() function only imports the first band in a raster However, raster data can also be multi-band, meaning that one raster fileĬontains data for more than one variable or time period for each cell. Raster statistics are often calculated and embedded in a GeoTIFF for us. ![]() In thisĬase, given we are working with elevation data, these values represent the It is useful to know the minimum or maximum values of a raster dataset.

Note that the zone is unique to the UTM projection. ellps=WGS84: the ellipsoid (how the earth’s roundness is calculated) for.units=m: the units for the coordinates are in meters.The coordinate system used in the projection) datum=WGS84: the datum is WGS84 (the datum refers to the 0,0 reference for.proj=utm: the projection is UTM, UTM has several zones.Our projection string for DSM_HARV specifies the UTM projection as follows: AfterĮach + we see the CRS element being defined. The string contains all of the individual CRSĮlements that R or another GIS might need. ![]() The CRS for our data is given to us by R in proj4 format. +units=m tells us that our data is in meters. +proj=utm +zone=18 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 Make sure that you have these packages loaded. We will use two additional packages in this episode to work with raster data - the In the Introduction to R for Geospatial Data lesson. We will continue to work with the dplyr and ggplot2 packages that were introduced We will also explore missing and badĭata values as stored in a raster and how R handles these elements. ![]() Rasters in R, including CRS and resolution. We willĭiscuss some of the core metadata elements that we need to understand to work with Metadata/raster attributes that are needed to work with raster data in R. In this episode, we will introduce the fundamental principles, packages and See the lesson homepage for detailed information about the software,ĭata, and other prerequisites you will need to work through the examples in this episode.
