Image processing in R

[srvanderplas]

Anyone else interested in image processing software in R? Right now, there's magick, imager, and opencv, each of which lack some fairly basic features (image registration, for instance, in magick and imager)

For starters, it might be worth documenting what each package is capable of to allow people to select the right package for their needs. Eventually we might work on expanding the functionality of the opencv or magick packages, because the underlying libraries have more features than the R packages (or did, last time I checked).

Links: (I'm being very specific about the R package part b/c opencv and magick have larger, more fully featured libraries that are C/C++ or unix command line focused)

• R package opencv github repository
• R package magick github repository
• R package imager github repository

I'd be interested in talking about this. I don't do much with image processing anymore but I use to work with satellite imagery, which are just big pictures of the ground.

I might be interested in doing this as I've worked with imager and magick before
