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.

Airborne LiDAR Data Manipulation and Visualization for Forestry Applications

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) interface for data manipulation and visualization. Read/write 'las' and 'laz' files, computation of metrics in area based approach, point filtering, artificial point reduction, classification from geographic data, normalization, individual tree segmentation and other manipulations.

Google's Compact Language Detector 2

Bindings to Google's C++ library Compact Language Detector 2 (see < https://github.com/cld2owners/cld2#readme> for more information). Probabilistically detects over 80 languages in plain text or HTML. For mixed-language input it returns the top three detected languages and their approximate proportion of the total classified text bytes (e.g. 80% English and 20% French out of 1000 bytes). There is also a 'cld3' package on CRAN which uses a neural network model instead.

Calculate 3D Contour Meshes Using the Marching Cubes Algorithm

A port of the C++ routine for applying the marching cubes algorithm written by Thomas Lewiner et al. (2012) into an R package. The package supplies the contour3d() function, which takes a 3-dimensional array of voxel data and calculates the vertices, vertex normals, and faces for a 3d mesh representing the contour(s) at a given level.

Tools for Cleaning Rectangular Data

A dependency-free collection of simple functions for cleaning rectangular data. This package allows to detect, count and replace values or discard rows/columns using a predicate function. In addition, it provides tools to check conditions and return informative error messages.

Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Model for Areal Unit Data

Implements a spatiotemporal boundary detection model with a dissimilarity metric for areal data with inference in a Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and spatial correlation is introduced at each time point through a conditional autoregressive (CAR) prior. Temporal correlation is introduced through a hierarchical structure and can be specified as exponential or first-order autoregressive. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in "Diagnosing Glaucoma Progression with Visual Field Data Using a Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Method", by Berchuck et al (2019) .

DIF and DDF Detection by Non-Linear Regression Models

Detection of differential item functioning (DIF) among dichotomously scored items and differential distractor functioning (DDF) among unscored items with non-linear regression procedures based on generalized logistic regression models (Hladka & Martinkova, 2020, ).

Signal Detection Analysis

Exploring time series for signal detection. It is specifically designed to detect possible outbreaks using infectious disease surveillance data at the European Union / European Economic Area or country level. Automatic detection tools used are presented in the paper "Monitoring count time series in R: aberration detection in public health surveillance", by Salmon (2016) . The package includes: - Signal Detection tool, an interactive 'shiny' application in which the user can import external data and perform basic signal detection analyses; - An automated report in HTML format, presenting the results of the time series analysis in tables and graphs. This report can also be stratified by population characteristics (see 'Population' variable). This project was funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

Event Detection Framework

Detect events in time-series data. Combines multiple well-known R packages like 'forecast' and 'neuralnet' to deliver an easily configurable tool for multivariate event detection.

Dimension Reduction for Outlier Detection

A dimension reduction technique for outlier detection. DOBIN: a Distance based Outlier BasIs using Neighbours, constructs a set of basis vectors for outlier detection. This is not an outlier detection method; rather it is a pre-processing method for outlier detection. It brings outliers to the fore-front using fewer basis vectors (Kandanaarachchi, Hyndman 2020) .
