Working with Audio and Video in R

Bindings to 'FFmpeg' < http://www.ffmpeg.org/> AV library for working with audio and video in R. Generates high quality video from images or R graphics with custom audio. Also offers high performance tools for reading raw audio, creating 'spectrograms', and converting between countless audio / video formats. This package interfaces directly to the C API and does not require any command line utilities.

Extensible Style-Sheet Language Transformations

An extension for the 'xml2' package to transform XML documents by applying an 'xslt' style-sheet.

Text Extraction, Rendering and Converting of PDF Documents

Utilities based on 'libpoppler' < https://poppler.freedesktop.org> for extracting text, fonts, attachments and metadata from a PDF file. Also supports high quality rendering of PDF documents into PNG, JPEG, TIFF format, or into raw bitmap vectors for further processing in R.

Secure Shell (SSH) Client for R

Connect to a remote server over SSH to transfer files via SCP, setup a secure tunnel, or run a command or script on the host while streaming stdout and stderr directly to the client.

Open Source OCR Engine

Bindings to 'Tesseract': a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine that supports over 100 languages. The engine is highly configurable in order to tune the detection algorithms and obtain the best possible results.

Advanced Graphics and Image-Processing in R

Bindings to 'ImageMagick': the most comprehensive open-source image processing library available. Supports many common formats (png, jpeg, tiff, pdf, etc) and manipulations (rotate, scale, crop, trim, flip, blur, etc). All operations are vectorized via the Magick++ STL meaning they operate either on a single frame or a series of frames for working with layers, collages, or animation. In RStudio images are automatically previewed when printed to the console, resulting in an interactive editing environment. The latest version of the package includes a native graphics device for creating in-memory graphics or drawing onto images using pixel coordinates.

R Interface to NLopt

Solve optimization problems using an R interface to NLopt. NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines available online as well as original implementations of various other algorithms. See < https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NLopt_Algorithms/> for more information on the available algorithms. Building from included sources requires 'CMake'. On Linux and 'macOS', if a suitable system build of NLopt (2.7.0 or later) is found, it is used; otherwise, it is built from included sources via 'CMake'. On Windows, NLopt is obtained through 'rwinlib' for 'R <= 4.1.x' or grabbed from the appropriate toolchain for 'R >= 4.2.0'.

High-Performance Stemmer, Tokenizer, and Spell Checker

Low level spell checker and morphological analyzer based on the famous 'hunspell' library < https://hunspell.github.io>. The package can analyze or check individual words as well as parse text, latex, html or xml documents. For a more user-friendly interface use the 'spelling' package which builds on this package to automate checking of files, documentation and vignettes in all common formats.

HTTP and WebSocket Server Library

Provides low-level socket and protocol support for handling HTTP and WebSocket requests directly from within R. It is primarily intended as a building block for other packages, rather than making it particularly easy to create complete web applications using httpuv alone. httpuv is built on top of the libuv and http-parser C libraries, both of which were developed by Joyent, Inc. (See LICENSE file for libuv and http-parser license information.)

Bindings to 'OpenCV' Computer Vision Library

Exposes some of the available 'OpenCV' < https://opencv.org/> algorithms, such as a QR code scanner, and edge, body or face detection. These can either be applied to analyze static images, or to filter live video footage from a camera device.
