set image path

Feature Description

The Set Image Path tool is used to add the original image and reference image to the workflow, and to set the coordinate system, result path, and other information for data processing.

In a predefined image processing flow, you only need to set parameters in Set Image Path to execute the workflow and complete DOM Data Production.

Parameter Description

Parameter Name Parameter Interpretation Parameter Type
Zone Output

Specifies whether to output images at different locations by their respective zone coordinate systems. Not checked by default, meaning a uniform coordinate system is used for output.

  • Checked: The projection type, zoning method, and zone number parameters need to be set. The program automatically calculates the corresponding projected coordinate system based on these three parameters and the image location, and outputs images at different locations by their respective zone coordinate systems.
  • Unchecked: The output coordinate system parameters need to be set, and all images will be output using this uniform coordinate system.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

Note:

Only useful for executing the complete workflow. If only a certain tool in the workflow is executed, the output result data may not be the coordinate system set here.

Boolean
Projection Type

Available after checking the zone output parameters.

Provides two projection types: Universal Transverse Mercator (WGS 1984) and Gauss-Kruger (CGCS 2000), with Gauss-Kruger (CGCS 2000) as the default.

ZonePrjcoordSysType
Zoning Method

Available after checking the zone output parameters.

Specifies the zoning projection method as 6-degree zone or 3-degree zone, with 6-degree zone as the default.

ImageZoneType
Add Zone Number

Available after checking the zone output parameters.

Specifies whether to include the zone number in the projected coordinate system. When checked, the output projected coordinate system will include the zone number; when unchecked, it will not.

Boolean
Output Coordinate System

Available after unchecking the zone output parameters.

Set the coordinate system of the imagery, which will be used to output intermediate and result data.

PrjCoordSys
Output Format

Set the storage type of the result image. Provides four options: Not Set, Tiff/GeoTIFF, Erdas Image, and PCIDSK, with Tiff/GeoTIFF as the default, meaning the image is output in its original storage type.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

FileType
Compression Method

Available only when Output Format is Tiff/GeoTIFF. Default is None. For more methods, refer to Compression Method.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

CompressMethod
Original Image Set the original image path information. Provides four methods to input image files: Add File, Add Folder, Add List, and Add Mosaic Data. When selecting Add Folder, all panchromatic and multispectral image files in the folder (including subfolders) will be automatically obtained.
Note:

Panchromatic images correspond one-to-one with multispectral images. If a panchromatic or multispectral image is missing from the folder, the Image Pairing dialog box will appear, displaying the images that failed to pair. You can manage the mismatched image information using the add and delete buttons in the toolbar of the dialog box.

File
Satellite Sensor Type Set the satellite sensor type of the original image. Different types of satellite sensors have different spectral response functions and bit depths. Setting the correct sensor ensures the original image is opened correctly and the correct metadata is obtained. Supports processing mainstream remote sensing satellite data such as GF, ZY3-02, SuperView-1, IKONOS, WorldView, Landsat, ZY1-02D, Sentinel-2, etc. SensorCategory
Plane Accuracy

The plane accuracy determines whether to perform coarse correction on the original image. Default is Height, meaning no coarse correction is performed. Select Medium or Low to perform coarse correction on the original image.

  • Low: Generally indicates that the image planar accuracy error is greater than 40 pixels.
  • Height: Generally indicates that the image planar accuracy error is less than 15 pixels.
  • Medium: When the image accuracy cannot be determined, select this option, and the program will automatically estimate the accuracy.
ImageAccuracy
Image Filtering Criteria Not checked by default, meaning all panchromatic and multispectral images are loaded. If this checkbox is checked, images whose names contain the filter string will be loaded. The filter string settings are as follows:
  • If no filter string is set, all images in the folder will be loaded.
  • If only the panchromatic or multispectral image filter string is set, only panchromatic or multispectral images will be filtered.
  • If both panchromatic and multispectral image filter strings are set, the panchromatic and multispectral images that match the filters will be loaded respectively.
Boolean
Multispectral Filtering String

Available after checking Image Filtering Criteria.

Set the string for filtering multispectral images; only images whose file names contain this string will be loaded.

String
Panchromatic Filtering String

Available after checking Image Filtering Criteria.

Set the string for filtering panchromatic images; only images whose file names contain this string will be loaded.

String
Cloud Amount Data Not checked by default, meaning no cloud amount data is input. If checked and cloud amount data is input, the original images can be filtered based on the cloud amount data. Boolean
Source of Data Available after checking Cloud Amount Data. The cloud amount data can be obtained via Existing Data or Cloud Detection, with Existing Data as the default. CloudMaskDataSourceType
Data Source Available after selecting Existing Data in Source of Data. Specifies the data source where the cloud cover dataset is located. DataSource
Dataset

Available after selecting Existing Data in Source of Data.

Specify the cloud cover 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 after selecting Cloud Detection in Source of Data.

The minimum number of pixels retained for the mask. If the pixel count is greater than this threshold, it will be judged as a cloud area; if less than the threshold, it will be judged as a non-cloud area and the mask data will not be retained. Default value is 4096.

Integer
Reference Image

The reference data has an accurate geographical location baseline. During the imagery process, control points will be generated based on the reference data for geometric correction of the image.

Provides four methods to input image files: Add File, Add Folder, Add List, and Add Mosaic Data. When selecting Add Folder, all image files in the folder (including subfolders) will be automatically obtained.

Note:

If only performing color balancing and mosaicking on general image data at level L4 or above, it is not necessary to add reference data.

File
Load According to the Original Image Range Checked by default, meaning only reference images within the original image range are loaded, reducing the amount of data loaded into the workflow and speeding up processing. Boolean
Elevation Data Type

Select the source of elevation data. Provides the following three methods:

  • SRTM V4 (default): Elevation data comes from the fourth version of global 90-meter SRTM data in remote sensing resources and environment.
  • Fixed elevation value: Input a custom elevation value.
  • User elevation dataset: Load elevation information by specifying DEM data. Supports Tiff/GeoTIFF, Erdas Image, PCIDSK, and ArcInfoGrid formats. Among them, ArcInfoGrid format data can only be obtained by clicking the Add Folder button.
ElevationDataType
Use Default Geoid File

When the elevation data is orthometric height relative to mean sea level, a geoid file is needed to convert orthometric height to ellipsoidal height. Not needed when the elevation data is ellipsoidal height.

  • When elevation data type is SRTM V4, this checkbox is checked by default.
  • When elevation data type is Fixed elevation value, this parameter is not provided.
  • When elevation data type is User elevation dataset, this checkbox is not checked by default, and you need to choose whether to use a geoid file based on the elevation data.
Boolean
Geoid File Available after unchecking Use Default Geoid File. Specifies the geoid file in the local file. File
Create Image Pyramid

Checked by default, builds pyramids for the reference image data according to the specified resampling method, improving zoom display rendering and performance.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

Boolean
Resampling Method

Available after checking Create Image Pyramid.

Default is Average. For more methods, refer to Resampling Method.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

ResampleMethod
Asynchronously Create Statistics

When browsing images, the layer will be stretched based on statistics information. If the image has no 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 workflow execution. If unchecked, statistics will be created when executing this tool, which may take time.

Will auto apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production.

Boolean

Output Result

Add original image and reference image to the workflow, and complete global parameters such as the coordinate system and result path for data processing.
