Feature Description
True color output refers to the process of using image stretching and image enhancement techniques to improve the display effects of images, making their colors closer to the actual colors of ground objects. At the same time, this process converts the image into a three-band 8-bit unsigned pixel format for output, facilitating subsequent imagery and visual display.
The true color output result can display surface features in a way close to their real colors, thus playing an important role in fields such as urban planning, land use classification, agricultural monitoring, map production and updating.

Boolean |
| Minimum Truncation Percentage |
Available when Automatically Calculate Truncation Percentage is unchecked. Set the minimum truncation percentage value for image linear extrusion, with a range of [0,100], default is 0.2. |
Double |
| Maximum Truncation Percentage |
Available when Automatically Calculate Truncation Percentage is unchecked. Set the maximum truncation percentage value for image linear extrusion, with a range of [0,100], default is 99.8. |
Double |
| Highlighted White Spot Threshold |
Available when Automatically Calculate Truncation Percentage is checked. When performing image stretching, if the area of highlighted white spots in the image is greater than the specified area threshold, the truncation percentage is considered too large. Otherwise, it is considered that the truncation percentage can be further increased. Default is 20000, unit is m\u00B2. If there are fewer highlighted areas in the image, it is recommended to increase this parameter to obtain higher contrast. |
Double |
| Use Gamma Correction |
Use gamma correction to achieve non-linear brightness and contrast adjustment of the image, thereby enhancing image display details and improving the display quality of image data. Unchecked by default, i.e., gamma correction is not used to improve the display quality of image data. If this checkbox is checked, you need to select the gamma correction method. |
Boolean |
| Gamma Correction |
Available when Use Gamma Correction is checked. Provides two methods: Adaptive and Custom, default is Adaptive.

| Vegetation Enhancement |
Available when the red, green, blue, and near-infrared band indices are all non-empty. Used to enhance the display effects of vegetation areas, unchecked by default, i.e., vegetation enhancement is not used. |
Boolean |
| NDVI Threshold |
Available when Vegetation Enhancement is checked. Used to determine the vegetation range. When the NDVI threshold is greater than the NDVI value of the image, vegetation enhancement is activated. Default is 0.0, NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red). |
Double |
| Green Band Weight |
Available when Vegetation Enhancement is checked. Set the weight of the green band during vegetation enhancement, with a range of [0,1], default is 0.7. The sum of green band weight and near-infrared weight must be 1. |
Double |
| Near-Infrared Weight |
Available when Vegetation Enhancement is checked. Set the weight of the near-infrared band during vegetation enhancement, with a range of [0,1], default is 0.3. The sum of green band weight and near-infrared weight must be 1. |
Double |
| Contrast Enhancement | When the contrast of the image is low or when using automatically calculate truncation percentage, it is recommended to use contrast enhancement to improve the display effects of the image. This checkbox is checked by default. | Boolean |
| Contrast Limit |
Available when Contrast Enhancement is checked. Indicates the degree of contrast enhancement, the larger the value, the greater the enhancement. Default is 1.5. |
Double |
| Mask Data |
Unchecked by default. If checked and mask data is set, the system will exclude this area before outputting the true color image. |
Boolean |
| Source of Data | Available when Mask Data is checked. The cloud amount data can be obtained through Existing Data or Cloud Detection, default is Existing Data. | CloudMaskDataSourceType |
| Datasource | Available when Existing Data is selected in Source of Data. Specify the data source where the mask dataset is located. | DataSource |
| Dataset | Available when Existing Data is selected in Source of Data. Specifies the mask dataset. The ImageName field must be included in the dataset, and the name must correspond to the current pending image name. | DatasetVector |
| Mask Pixel Threshold |
Available when Cloud Detection is selected in Source of Data. The minimum number of pixels to retain for the mask. If the number is greater than this threshold, the area is judged as a cloud area; if less than this threshold, it is judged as a non-cloud area and the mask data is not retained. Default is 4096. |
Integer |
| Output Format |
Set the storage type of the result image. Provides four options: Not Set, Tiff/GeoTIFF, Erdas Image, and PCIDSK. Default is Tiff/GeoTIFF, indicating output using the original storage type of the image. If executing a production workflow, the Output format parameter from Set Image Path or Add Orthophoto is used, and this parameter is not editable. |
FileType |
| Compression Method |
Set the compression method of the output image. Only available when output format is Tiff/GeoTIFF, default is NONE. If executing a production workflow, the Compression method parameter from Set Image Path or Add Orthophoto is used, and this parameter is not editable. |

| Add Results to Map Window |
This parameter is available only when the function is launched from the Satellite Image Processing tab -> DOM Data Production group -> True Color Output. Checked by default, meaning the result data will be added to the map window for display after successful execution of the function. |
Boolean |
| Create Image Pyramid |
Checked by default. It can build pyramids for image data based on the specified resampling method, thereby improving the zoom display rendering and performance of the image. If executing a production workflow, the Create Image Pyramid parameter from Set Image Path or Add Orthophoto is used, and this parameter is not displayed. |
Boolean |
| Resampling Method |
Available when Create Image Pyramid is checked. Default is Average. For more method introductions, please refer to Resampling Method. If executing a production workflow, the Resampling Method parameter from Set Image Path or Add Orthophoto is used, and this parameter is not displayed. |
PyramidResampleType |
| Asynchronously Create Statistics |
When browsing the image, the layer will be stretched based on the statistics information. If the image does not have statistics information, the image will be displayed according to the default stretch method, and 8-bit data will not be stretched. Checked by default, meaning statistics will be created for the image in the background without affecting the workflow execution. If unchecked, statistics will be created simultaneously when executing this tool, which may consume time. If executing a production workflow, the Asynchronously Create Statistics parameter from Set Image Path or Add Orthophoto is used, and this parameter is not displayed. |
