We just released a new version (0.4.0) of our R package camtrapdp.
With camtrapdp you can read and manipulate Camera Trap Data Packages (Camtrap DP). Camtrap DP is a data exchange format for camera trap data. The R package supports reading, filtering and transforming data (including to Darwin Core) before further analysis in e.g. camtraptor or camtrapR.
What has changed?
We added two long-requested functions:
write_camtrapdp()to write a Camtrap DP dataset to disk.merge_camtrapdp()to merge two datasets, allowing you to combine data from multiple studies.
We also added new functions to:
- Update (or clean) data:
round_coordinates(),shift_time(),update_taxon(). - Extract data:
contributors(),individuals().
The Darwin Core processing was also improved, allowing GBIF to ingest Camtrap DP datasets. This includes a new function write_eml() to better populate dataset landing pages with metadata.
For a full overview of all the changes, see the CHANGELOG.
