[R-sig-Geo] comparing raster and vector data with Grass/R

[Edzer J. Pebesma]

Using the classes and methods for spatial data in package sp, typically 
the dem would be stored in a grid (SpatialGridDataFrame) and the vector 
data in a SpatialPointsDataFrame. Then you can use the overlay method to 
retrieve the dem values at point locations, to look at their relationship.

I would like to see if there is any correlation between vector data (polyline connected to a db file) and classes from an analysis on a raster file. Namely I have an underwater DEM (raster 4m resolution) and transects of interpreted underwater camera (vector-db, one transect is around 30m).
