1Principles of R Language in Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing

1.1 Introduction

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics which compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. R is a powerful environment for digital image processing, geocomputation, as well as for obtaining and analyzing remote sensing data (Lovelace et al., 2019). However, R has been used in different areas of knowledge, and applied in teaching different disciplines such as computational statistics (Taylor, 2018), biostatistics (Sarvary, 2014), data mining (Hussain, 2015), data science (Matter, 2021), data analytics (Patil, 2016). R can run on many operating systems, but this book is prepared with R used on ...
