If, by 'feature extraction', the colleague refers to classifying the raster imagery pixels into discrete categores (e.g., vegetation types), I would suggest looking at the 'r.' and 'i.' components of GRASS GIS, which of course integrates well with R.

Hope this helps.

I have a colleague who is not familiar with R and we were discussing feature 
extraction from multiple images (air photos, satellite based etc.). He uses a 
commercial tool for feature extraction. Can anyone point me to a package in R 
that does this? I have done a search but not found such a function. It is not a 
procedure I am familiar with.

Many thanks, Barry
