Senegal 3d landcover with R # **3D Land Cover Generation for Senegal States** This project generates high-resolution **3D land cover visualizations** for Senegal's regions using satellite imagery. The pipeline integrates raster and vector data, applies terrain analysis, and renders 3D outputs for clear visualization of land cover distributions. ## **Features** - Processes satellite land cover data using **terra** and **sf** R libraries. - Generates both **2D land cover maps** and **3D rendered models** for each state. - Produces PNG outputs for land cover with realistic terrain elevation and lighting using **rayshader**. - Highly automated pipeline for reproducibility and scalability. --- ## **Project Structure** ```plaintext . ├── gadm/ # Contains regional shapefiles (.shp) of Senegal states ├── out/ # Folder for storing generated outputs (land cover PNG files) ├── regions/ # Input shapefiles for each region ├── main.r # Main R script for pipeline execution ├── land_cover_output.zip # Compressed output folder for land cover PNGs └── README.md # Project documentation (this file) ``` --- ## **Dependencies** The following R libraries are required: - **terra**: Raster and vector data processing. - **giscoR**: Access to GIS data. - **sf**: Spatial data manipulation. - **tidyverse**: Data wrangling and visualization. - **ggtern**: Color conversion utilities. - **elevatr**: Downloading elevation models. - **png**: Handling PNG outputs. - **rayshader**: Generating 3D visualizations. - **magick**: Image processing and annotations. --- ## **How to Run** 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone github.com cd 3d-landcover-senegal ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```R install.packages(c("terra", "sf", "tidyverse", "rayshader", "png", "magick", "elevatr", "giscoR", "ggtern")) ``` 3. Run the main script: ```R source("main.r") ``` 4.
