how to read.jpeg in R 2.15

Question

It seems very trivial but I can\'t read in jpeg, or any type of image into R 2.15. In R 2.10 I could do it using rimage library or ReadImage librar

Answer 1

As pointed out in comments, try the jpeg package.

install.packages("jpeg")  ## if necessary

library(jpeg)
## get help
library(help = jpeg)
## get more help
?readJPEG

Example, from the help:

# read a sample file (R logo)
img <- readJPEG(system.file("img", "Rlogo.jpg", package="jpeg"))

Another option is rgdal, which can read from a massive bestiary of formats. Plotting and manipulation are handled differently.

install.packages("rgdal") ## if necessary
library(rgdal)
img <- readGDAL(file.path(R.home(), "doc", "html", "logo.jpg"))

There is also the readbitmap package on CRAN, it's always worth a basic search of the packages list for what you are looking for.

Answer 2

also:

## if not already installed
install.packages("jpeg")  

library(jpeg)

?readJPEG()

img <- readJPEG("/Users/name/locationInFileDirectory/image.jpg", native = TRUE)

#this will display your image to test you read it correctly
if(exists("rasterImage")){
      plot(1:2, type='n')
      rasterImage(img,1,1,2,2)
}
