[R-sig-eco] Question for R-sig-ecology

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi,

I'm not sure you even need image classification.

Use list.files() to get the image filenames.
Read the image into R.
Discard it if the pixel values have a very low variance, indicating
that they didn't detect anything (or are mostly black? depending on
what your camera records when covered in snow).

There are R packages such as jpg and tiff that allow you to read
common image formats into R.
