Download Test IFCB Data — ifcb_download_test

This function downloads a zip archive containing MATLAB files from the iRfcb dataset available in the SMHI IFCB Plankton Image Reference Library (Torstensson et al. 2024), unzips them into the specified folder and extracts png images. These data can be used, for instance, for testing iRfcb and for creating the tutorial vignette using vignette("tutorial", package = "iRfcb")

Usage

ifcb_download_test_data(
  dest_dir,
  figshare_article = "48158716",
  max_retries = 5,
  sleep_time = 10,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

dest_dir: The destination directory where the files will be unzipped.
figshare_article: The file article number at the SciLifeLab Figshare data repository. By default, the iRfcb test dataset (48158716) from Torstensson et al. (2024) is used.
max_retries: The maximum number of retry attempts in case of download failure. Default is 5.
sleep_time: The sleep time between download attempts, in seconds. Default is 10.
verbose: A logical indicating whether to print progress messages. Default is TRUE.
