I will divide the workflow of this tutorial into four main steps:
- Getting the data read
- Train Model
- Evaluate Model
- Classify Image
The data used in this tutorial can be accessed HERE
The first thing we are gonna do is to load the required packages. We will use raster and terra to deal with raster data, sf for spatial vectors data, tidyverse for tabulate date and visualization, caret for random forest, and mapview along with leaflet for data viz.
if (!require("tidyverse")) install.packages("tidyverse")
if (!require("terra")) install.packages("terra")
if (!require("raster")) install.packages("raster")
if (!require("sf")) install.packages("sf")
if (!require("sp")) install.packages("sp")
if (!require("caret")) install.packages("caret")
if (!require("mapview")) install.packages("mapview")
if (!require("leaflet")) install.packages("leaflet")
if (!require("ggridges")) install.packages("ggridges")
if (!require("randomForest")) install.packages("randomForest")
if (!require("tmap")) install.packages("tmap")Now, lets load our raster data and shapefile containing a few features delimited for use as training data in the random forest model.

In this step we will create a map containing the calculations of the NDVI, EVI, and SAVI index using the band composition of our raster image.

Let’s stack these three indexes in our raster data so we can have more information to feed the model. After stacking the rasters containing the indexes with our main raster, we will notice that the new rasters are named as NIR. That is because the first spectral band we used in the above calculations was the NIR band. To avoid confusion between the NIR spectral band and the new rasters indexes, we will name them according to which index they represent.

Now we have everything to move forward to prepare the data that will be use for training and testing our RF model. Lets get started by extracting the pixel values for those features we mapped. These pixel values will be used to train and test the model later.

Now lets build the train and test data. At this stage we partition our dataset into two, thats a train and test dataset. We train the model with the train dataset and evaluate the model perfomance using the test data.
We would use the caret function createDataPartition() to split data into training and testing sets.
