[R-sig-Geo] shortestPath in a loop

Marta,

your problem seems to me more conceptual. The shortestPath 
implementation of a cost analysis is not exactly want you want. You 
would choose it if you have to find an unknown path on a friction 
surface. You would not choose it if you just want to link positions. The 
shortestPath of your implementation can not avoid to touch the island 
because you force it to go there. It is a bit more "expensive" in your 
case 2 units but not forbidden.

Nevertheless there are also some technical issues to address: Even if if 
there is a correction for unprojected data sets it is better to project 
them because it is more stable to calculate cost on an equal area 
projection. Than the spatial resolution of the cost raster should be 
sufficient to meet the distance of the points.

You will find below the example code. Note that I assume that the data 
is an directory as defined by "path_data".

The "path will be plotted consecutively in the plotting window.

hope this clarifies

cheers Chris

library(raster)

### define data folder
path_data<-"~/proj/boats/data/"

### boat points the locations of the boats are sort by date and time!
boat <- read.table(paste0(path_data,"boat2905.csv"), header=TRUE, 
sep=",", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE)
pos<-as.data.frame(cbind(boat$Lat1,boat$Long1))
sp::coordinates(pos) <- ~V2+V1
sp::proj4string(pos) <-CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs")

### project it to somewhat equal area
boatSP <- sp::spTransform(pos, CRS("+proj=laea +lat_0=30 +lon_0=-30 
+x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6370997 +b=6370997 +units=m +no_defs"))

# cost raster sea and island
azoTS1<- raster::raster(paste0(path_data,"azoTS1.tif"))

### project it to somewhat equal area
azoTS1<- raster::projectRaster(azoTS1,  crs="+proj=laea +lat_0=30 
+lon_0=-30 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6370997 +b=6370997 +units=m +no_defs")

###scale  real cost file -> makes it MUCH more expansive to sail over 
land surfaces
azoTS1[azoTS1 ==2]<-100

### increase the spatial resolution
costraw<-disaggregate(azoTS1,fact=c(10, 10))

# prepare it for analysis
transition<- gdistance::transition(1/costraw, mean, directions=8)
trCostS16 <- gdistance::geoCorrection(transition, type="c")

### run first analysis -> will link all boat positions
### note it will NOT avoid sailing over land because it is forced to do 
so by setting the last position on the (rasterized) island
raster::plot(azoTS1)
pathwaylist<- lapply(seq(2:length(boatSP)), function(i){
   costpath<- try(shortestPath(trCostS16, 
boatSP at coords[i,],boatSP at coords[i-1,], output="SpatialLines"),silent = TRUE)
   lines(costpath)
})

### now we import the species point
### just for showing that the cost analysis will work
spcs <- read.table(paste0(path_data,"/sp2pontosDT.csv"), header=TRUE, 
sep=",", na.strings="NA", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE)#Bom test
sp::coordinates(spcs) <- ~Long1+Lat
sp::proj4string(spcs) <-CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs")
spcsSP <- sp::spTransform(spcs, CRS("+proj=laea +lat_0=30 +lon_0=-30 
+x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6370997 +b=6370997 +units=m +no_defs"))

### run second analysis -> will link all the two species positions
raster::plot(azoTS1)
pathwaylist<- lapply(seq(2:length(spcsSP)), function(i){
   costpath<- try(shortestPath(trCostS16, 
spcsSP at coords[i,],spcsSP at coords[i-1,], output="SpatialLines"),silent = TRUE)
   lines(costpath)
})
