raster (version 3.6-23)

disaggregate: Disaggregate

Description

Disaggregate a RasterLayer to create a new RasterLayer with a higher resolution (smaller cells). The values in the new RasterLayer are the same as in the larger original cells unless you specify method="bilinear", in which case values are locally interpolated (using the resample function).

Usage

# S4 method for Raster
disaggregate(x, fact=NULL, method='', filename='', ...)

Value

Raster object

Arguments

x

a Raster object

fact

integer. amount of disaggregation expressed as number of cells (horizontally and vertically). This can be a single integer or two integers c(x,y), in which case the first one is the horizontal disaggregation factor and y the vertical disaggreation factor. If a single integer value is supplied, cells are disaggregated with the same factor in x and y direction

method

Character. '' or 'bilinear'. If 'bilinear', values are locally interpolated (using the resample function

filename

Character. Output filename (optional)

...

Additional arguments as for writeRaster

Examples

r <- raster(ncols=10, nrows=10)
rd <- disaggregate(r, fact=c(10, 2))
ncol(rd)
nrow(rd)
values(r) <- 1:ncell(r)
rd <- disaggregate(r, fact=c(4, 2), method='bilinear')
