Thank you all for the help- I successfully read an image into R using
these methods.

I did, however, encounter some problems when loading a hyperspectral
image cube into R as it was unable to allocate the 2.9 GB of volatile
memory that it needed.

Buy more memory, 64-bit Linux works fine. Seriously, R is for statistics, so its memory management is designed for samples, even though very large samples can be handled when used appropriately. If your data are in a GeoTiff, you can read them by band using functions in the rgdal package, or equally well many bands in a window or tile of a larger scene. Note that ArcGIS uses GDAL too for handling some raster formats. Using R does mean thinking through your work flow.

Is there a way to improve memory management by R, so that it only
reads in the data when actually needed for processing, e.g., only read
in the bands I need, or conversely read in spectra on a per-pixel
basis?

This might help to mange the orientation of image:

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to either call up R functions from
within IDL, or conversely read ENVI image data into R. If you have
any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Guy Serbin
