Raster multi-band time series analysis

Dear Members,

What kind of raster iterator can I use for multi-band time series 
analysis? I have a time series of multi-band raster files ("RED", "NIR", 
"BLUE", for each time) and I would like to apply some temporal analysis 
to it.


Thank you!

Victor

Hi Victor,

As far as I know there isn't anything yet for dealing with raster that 
have more than 3 dimensions in R. The raster package actually has a 4D 
class (raterQuad I think) though, but it does not have any methods yet, 
so it won't help you much, unless you want to develop the methods yourself.

The way I would go about this is by building a temporal rasterBrick for 
each of your spectral band and write a smart function to be passed to 
raster::overlay.

Cheers,
Lo?c
