Raster analysis using R

We are developing the 'raster' package and related packages for raster
analysis, including for sat image analysis. The code is on r-forge
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/r-gis/). It is still a bit
early days, the code is not stable, and the project not properly
described yet, but the raster package is functional for
reclassification and some other calculations. Robert

Subject: [R-sig-Geo] Raster analysis using R

Hi,

I was wondering if there are some R packages which deal
with analysis functions on raster inputs.

While reading http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html
I've got the impression that the packages mentioned there
do not provide possibilities on doing for example spatial
resampling or reclassification on an input raster file like a
(georeferenced) satallite image.

In the seminar `Geostatistics and Image Analysis' I'm attending
some topics are dealing with the combination of in situ sensor
data and satallite images or aerophoto respectively.

Is there a discussion on the web, how much R can (or should
be able to) handle raster image data and corresponding
raster analysis?

Best regards

 Henning
