  2. making binary images of gaps and canopy
  3. classifying gaps based on size
  4. applying theoretical formulas relating canopy to gap fraction
• EXIF functionality now uses native R functions from package EXIFr avoiding third-party software or C libraries
• Segmentation uses a function from CRAN's mgcpackage
