Overview

About

Maintained by Glenn J. TattersallCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A collection of functions and routines for inputting thermal image video files, plotting and converting binary raw data into estimates of temperature. First published 2015-03-26. Written primarily for research purposes in biological applications of thermal images. v1 included the base calculations for converting thermal image binary values to temperatures. v2 included additional equations for providing heat transfer calculations and an import function for thermal image files (v2.2.3 fixed error importing thermal image to windows OS). v3. Added numerous functions for converting thermal image, videos, rewriting and exporting. v3.1. Added new functions to convert files. v3.2. Fixed the various functions related to finding frame times. v4.0. fixed an error in atmospheric attenuation constants, affecting raw2temp and temp2raw functions. Recommend update for use with long distance calculations. v.4.1.3 changed to frameLocates to reflect change to as.character() to format().

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("Thermimage", 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("gtatters/Thermimage")

Development version from gtatters/Thermimage. 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-thermimage

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-Thermimage

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-Thermimage

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
