Computes the NICFI Quads based on a mosaic-id and a specified Area of Interest (bounding box or Well Known Text)

Computes the NICFI Quads based on a mosaic-id and a specified Area of Interest (bounding box or Well Known Text)

nicfi_quads_bbox(
  planet_api_key,
  mosaic_id,
  bbox_AOI = NULL,
  wkt_AOI = NULL,
  page_size = 50,
  crs_bbox = 4326,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

planet_api_key

a character string specifying the Planet API key (see the references on how to acquire this key)

mosaic_id

a character string specifying the 'Mosaic' id as returned from the 'nicfi_mosaics()' function

bbox_AOI

either NULL or a list of the format "list(xmin = xmin, xmax = xmax, ymin = ymin, ymax = ymax)" that includes the bounding box 'xmin', 'xmax', 'ymin', 'ymax' coordinate values of the Area of Interest (AOI) based on which the intersected NICFI Quads have to be computed

wkt_AOI

either NULL or a character string specifying the Well Known Text (WKT) of the Area of Interest (AOI) based on which the intersected NICFI Quads have to be computed

page_size

an integer value specifying the number of Quads to return (that intersect with the input bounding box or Well known text)

crs_bbox

an integer specifying the Coordinates Reference System for the bounding box computation only.

verbose

a boolean. If TRUE then information will be printed out in the console

Value

an object of class list
