time dimension

[scbrown86]

Would it be possible to include a time dimension in the data matching? A use-case for this would be when there are observations over a long period of time (e.g. long term monitoring data or fossils) where there is the possibility of a species distribution/niche shift where matching up to a single time step doesn't really make sense.

As an example, I've attached a stars object (RDS file within the zip archive) with 3 dimensions (x, y, time), and 3 attributes (temperature, precipitation, elevation), and sampling points (geopackage within the zip archive) that vary through time.

Hi @scbrown86, I am so sorry for the late response. Thank you for making an excellent point!
Currently, the time dimension has not been implemented. Regarding change detection, users can use the detect_envi_change function within the time loop to obtain the time series of changes and subsequently compare multiple time steps. However, this would be a valuable feature to include in a future release, and I will make an effort to implement it.
