Generate a data frame that is compatible with the camtrapR recordTable data structure.

make_recordtable(
  data_from_images,
  delta_time_compared_to = "lastIndependentRecord",
  camera_independence = TRUE,
  remove_non_independent_records = TRUE,
  min_delta_time = 3
)

Arguments

data_from_images

dataframe of image data created using the gather_images function

delta_time_compared_to

Character string having values of lastIndependentRecord (default) or lastRecord. This is used to compare the time difference to previous records of same species in a station.

camera_independence

logical. option to control if cameras are independent from each other. Default is set to true.

remove_non_independent_records

logical. option to control including or removing records that have been assessed to be non independent. Default is set to true.

min_delta_time

integer. integer value specifying independence of records, if set to 0, all images are independent and no temporal filtering is needed. Default is set to 3.

Value

Generates a dataframe with species temporal information for the all camera traps and stations that are present in the trip.
