Overview

About

Maintained by BeiHao LiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A modular framework for standardized analysis of thermal imaging data in animal experimentation. The package integrates thermographic data import (FLIR, raw, CSV), automated region of interest (ROI) segmentation based on 'EBImage' (Pau et al., 2010 doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq046), interactive ROI refinement, and high-throughput batch processing.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("BioThermR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("RightSZ/BioThermR")

Development version from RightSZ/BioThermR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-biothermr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
