Internal function (used by s2_mask) which smooths and buffers a 0-1 mask image in order to reduce the roughness of the mask obtained from SCL classification (which is done pixel by pixel). See details.
smooth_mask(
inmask,
tmpdir = tempdir(),
radius = 250,
buffer = 250,
namask = NULL,
bigtiff = FALSE
)The path of the input 0-1 mask (where 0 represents the area to be masked, 1 the clean surface).
(optional) Path where intermediate files (VRT) will be created. Default is a temporary directory.
(optional) Numerical (positive): the size (in the unit of
inmask, typically metres) to be used as radius for the smoothing
(the higher it is, the more smooth the output mask will result).
(optional) Numerical (positive or negative): the size of the
buffer (in the unit of inmask, typically metres) to be applied to the
masked area after smoothing it (positive to enlarge, negative to reduce).
(optional) The path of an input 0-1 mask where 0 represents the area of the original file with NA values (which should not be smoothed / buffered). Default (NULL) means that no NA values are present.
(optional) Logical: if TRUE, the creation of a BigTIFF is forced (default is FALSE).
The path of the smoothed mask.
