MODIStsp v 1.2.1 Release Notes

v1.2.1 was released on 20/04/2016

Major Changes

  1. Modified format of "R" output time series from rts objects to RasterStack objects with temporal information added in the
    "z" attribute via setZ()
  2. Major changes/improvements in MODIStsp_extract function:
    • Use of plain rasterstack with "z" attribute instead than rasterstackts
    • Use of gdal_rasterize (gdalUtils) instead of rasterize (rgdal) to improve speed. Temporary shapes and rasters necessay are saved in "R" temporary folder and removed automatically
    • Fixed bugs on functionality for point/lines shapefiles, according to what specified by the "small" and "small_method" parameters
    • Added functionality for retrieving data for small polygons
    • Added out_format selection - xts or plain data.frame
    • Added possibility to use a shp filename as input directly
    • Added conformity checks on inputs
    • Added functionality to run without specifying start and end dates
    • Added id_field parameter for choosing which column of the input SP object should be used for "naming" the columns of the output
  3. Removed possibility to use "complex" resampling methods when reprojecting (e.g., bilinear, cubic, etc.) to avoid incorrect resampling on categorical variables and "contamination" of good pixels' data.

Minor Changes

  • Changed the input method for starting and ending dates selection in the GUI. Now a text field is used
  • Added functionaluty for writing data ignore value on ENVI files
  • Removed automatic deletion of XML files created by writeRaster to keep metadata information
  • Changed names of products in the GUI for products with both TERRA and AQUA dataset to MD09A1, MD13Q1, etc...
  • Modified code syntax to satisfy R code styling guidelines
  • Modified roxygen parameters so that only required functions are imported from imported packages
  • Updated and corrected the list of dependencies
  • Updated required "R" version to 3.2, and minimum versions for dependent packages to current versions.
  • Added Welcome message
  • Updated links to LPDAAC product description pages
  • Changed all "print" and "cat" calls to show messages/warnings to "message" or "warning" to allow easy disabling MODIStsp verbose messages
  • Using "R" tempfile/tempdir to save vrt files

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected a bug that threw an error in case incorrect bounding box specified
