[R-sig-Geo] Retrieving rasters from ESRI

[Kenneth Takagi]

I faced a similar situation recently, and it turns out that ESRI has not
released the API for exporting rasters from a geodatabase.  Interestingly,
they have released the API for vector files.  Here is some additional info:

access-file-geodatabase-gdb-rasters-with-gdal

If you have access to ArcGIS and ArcPy, there are Python scripts to export
rasters out of geodatabases that can then be imported into R using the
raster package, etc.  Otherwise, you may be out of luck unless ESRI has a
change of heart.
