Adjust the contrast of the result image. Value range is [-100,100], default is 0.0.

The larger the value, the stronger the contrast of the result image.

Adjust the saturation of the result image. Value range is [-100,100], default is 0.0.

The larger the value, the stronger the saturation of the result image.

This parameter is only available when Mask Data is checked. If executing a production workflow, this parameter is not provided.

Specify the data source where the mask dataset is located.

This parameter is only available when Mask Data is checked. If executing a production workflow, the mask data from True Color Output is used by default.

Specify the vector polygon dataset to be used as the mask. The dataset must contain an ImageName field, and the name must correspond to the image currently to be processed.

Set the resolution used when previewing the color balancing effect.

A lower resolution (larger downsampling factor) provides smoother but blurrier previews; a higher resolution   (smaller downsampling factor) provides slower but clearer preview refreshes. This setting is only for preview and does not affect the quality of the final output result.

The provided options are as follows:

• Downsample 4x (Default): Preview resolution is 1/4 of the original image.
• Downsample 8x: Preview resolution is 1/8 of the original image.
• Downsample 16x: Preview resolution is 1/16 of the original image.
• Downsample 32x: Preview resolution is 1/32 of the original image.
• Downsample 64x: Preview resolution is 1/64 of the original image.
• Downsample 128x: Preview resolution is 1/128 of the original image.
• Downsample 256x: Preview resolution is 1/256 of the original image.
• Downsample 512x: Preview resolution is 1/512 of the original image.

Set the storage path for the result image after color balancing processing.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Processing Path parameter from Set the Image Path or Add Orthophoto, and it cannot be edited.

Set the method used for resampling during imagery processing.

Provides Nearest, Bilinear, Cubic three options, default is Bilinear. For more method introductions, please refer to Resampling Method.

Specify the method for outputting the resulting image resolution. Provides the following options:

• Original Resolution (Default): Keep the original resolution of the input image.
• Fixed Value: Use an input fixed value as the output image resolution.
• Custom: Specify output resolutions separately based on different satellite sensor types. Selecting this option will pop up a dialog for detailed settings. In the dialog, you can click the Add button on the toolbar to add a record; then click the cell in the Satellite Sensor Type column to select the sensor type; finally, input the corresponding resolution for the sensor type in the cell of the Resolution column.
  Notes:

  • If the corresponding satellite sensor type is not found, please select the USEDEFINE option. The system will use the resolution set for this option to output all data of satellite sensor types not listed.
  • If processing image data from multiple satellite sensor types simultaneously (e.g., ZY3, GF-2, LandSat) but only set the resolution for one of them (e.g., only set for ZY3), then images from other satellite sensor types (e.g., GF-2 and LandSat) will be output using their original resolution.

Set the storage type of the result image. Provides the following options:

• Not Set: Output while retaining the original image format.
• Tiff/GeoTIFF (Default): Means the output result image is stored in Tiff/GeoTIFF format.
• Erdas Image: Means the output result image is stored in Erdas Image format.
• PCIDSK: Means the output result image is stored in PCIDSK format.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Output Format parameter fromSet the Image Path orAdd Orthophoto, and it cannot be edited.

When Output Format is Tiff/GeoTIFF, set the compression method for the output image.

Provides NONE, DEFLATE, LZW, JPEG four options, default is NONE. For more method introductions, please refer to Compression Method.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Compression Method parameter fromSet the Image Path orAdd Orthophoto, and it cannot be edited.

Check this parameter, the result data will use the same image coordinate system as the input data. If unchecked, then use the Output Coordinate System parameter from Set the Image Path or Add Orthophoto, and it cannot be edited.

This parameter is only available when the function is started from the Imagery tab->DOM Data Production group->Image Uniform Color.

Checked by default. After the function executes successfully, the result data is automatically added to the current map window for display.

Checked by default. Will build pyramids for the output image data, thereby improving zoom browsing speed and display performance for large-volume images.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Create An Image Pyramid parameter fromSet the Image Path orAdd Orthophoto, and this parameter is not displayed.

This parameter is only available after checking Create An Image Pyramid.

Specify the resampling method used when creating an image pyramid. Provides NONE, Average, Nearest Neighbor, Gaussian Kernel, default is Average. For more method introductions, please refer to Resampling Method.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Resampling Method parameter fromSet the Image Path orAdd Orthophoto, and this parameter is not displayed.

Image statistics information is used to optimize the stretch effect during display. If the image lacks statistics information, it will be displayed using the default stretch method, and 8-bit data will not be stretched for display.

• Checked (Default): Will create statistics for the image in the background, without affecting workflow execution.
• Unchecked: Create statistics information while executing this tool, which may consume time.

If executing a production workflow, then use the Asynchronously Create Statistics parameter fromSet the Image Path orAdd Orthophoto, and this parameter is not displayed.
