Finds orthophotos at a given site from complete file names, portable names, search names, or regular expressions that match file names or portable names. These may be mixed and matched, separated by +. This function is primarily used internally, but you may use this to test and refine orthoimage designations.

Usage

find_orthos(site, descrip)

Arguments

site

Vector of one or more site names

descrip

Character string with one or more of any of the following, separated by +:

file name

a complete file name (.tif is optional)

portable name

a portable name

regex

a regular expression enclosed in {}, to be applied to both file names and portable names. Regular expressions are case-insensitive.

search name

a search string (see search_names for details)

Value

Data frame with

row

row numbers in flights<site>.txt

file

file names

portable

portable names

Details

Note that portable names will be filtered so there is only one result for each unique portable name. When there are duplicate portable names at a site, filtering picks the portable name with the highest score, breaking ties by picking the earliest day in the season. Filtering is only applied to exact matches of portable names, not when they're matched by a regex. File names and search names that give multiple matches are not filtered.

Use descrip = '{*}' to match all names.

You may pass more than one site name, in which case all sites will be searched. In this case, the returned portable names will be the only useful result.
