从点创建凸包多边形并保存为shapefile

需要一些帮助来解决R中的转换问题。

我已经计算了点云的convex hull。我希望从形成凸包的点构建一个多边形对象并将其保存为可由GIS软件读取的 shapefile (ArcMap)等等。)

我的代码如下所示:

gps <- read.csv(f)  ##reads the lat-long coordinates  file 
x <- gps$LONGITUDE  ##tells R which columns is which
y <- gps$LATITUDE
z<-chull(x,y)       ##calculates the convex hull --this is just a list of x-y points, N vertex 
dfHull <-cbind(x[z],y[z])  ##the convex hull expressed as a list of selected x-y points
plot(dfHull)     ##this plots the vertex of the polygon, just a check
lines(dfhull)    ##plots the polygon in screen

##generate polygon shapefile, from dfHull, and save it externally as a shapefile ???

源文件只包含lat-long坐标,例如:

52.73336     N  0.365974
52.7332  N  0.366051
52.73289     N  0.36636
52.73297     N  0.366258
52.73298     N  0.366243
52.733   N  0.366112
52.73308     N  0.365942
52.73317     N  0.365881
52.73321     N  0.36593
52.73328     N  0.365942
52.73352     N  0.36579
52.73362     N  0.365678
52.73391     N  0.365536
52.7373  N  0.36543
52.73289     N  0.36728

我知道有一些软件包(rgdal,maptools,..)来帮助解决这些问题,但我对空间的东西非常不熟悉。我真正需要的是生成多边形对象并将其保存为shapefile。

任何帮助表示赞赏。在此先感谢,开发。

这是一个创建SpatialPolygonsDataFrame的简单示例,可以将其保存为包含rgdal::writeOGR()的shapefile:

set.seed(1)
dat <- matrix(stats::rnorm(2000), ncol = 2)
ch <- chull(dat)
coords <- dat[c(ch, ch[1]), ]  # closed polygon

plot(dat, pch=19)
lines(coords, col="red")

convex hull

library("sp")
library("rgdal")

sp_poly <- SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(coords)), ID=1)))
# set coordinate reference system with SpatialPolygons(..., proj4string=CRS(...))
# e.g. CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")
sp_poly_df <- SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(sp_poly, data=data.frame(ID=1))
writeOGR(sp_poly_df, "chull", layer="chull", driver="ESRI Shapefile")
