bary_index: Barycentric triangle index for interpolation

Description

This function returns the barycentric weight for a grid of coordinates from a geographic raster.

Usage

bary_index(x, coords = NULL, grid = NULL, ...)

Value

RasterLayer

Arguments

x

a 'RasterLayer' source

coords

optional input coordinates

grid

target 'RasterLayer', a target regular grid

...

ignored

Details

It's not as fast as raster::projectRaster() (e.g. projectRaster(x, grid)) but it also accepts a coords argument and so can be used for non-regular raster reprojection.

'coords' may be 'NULL' or longitude, latitude in a 2-layer raster brick or stack as with mesh_plot.

Examples

library(raster)
p_srs <- "+proj=stere +lat_0=-90 +lat_ts=-71 +datum=WGS84"
polar <- raster(extent(-5e6, 5e6, -5e6, 5e6), crs = p_srs, res = 25000)
etopo <- aggregate(etopo, fact = 4)
index <- bary_index(etopo, grid = polar)
ok <- !is.na(index$idx)
r <- setValues(polar, NA_integer_)
r[ok] <- colSums(matrix(values(etopo)[index$tri[, index$idx[ok]]], nrow = 3) * t(index$p)[, ok])
plot(r)
