Normalize columns in a HiRise cube by performing a lowpass/highpass filter

Overview Parameters

Description

This program was created by adding the HiRise specific code from Eric Eliason's Cubenorm_Filter script to the cubenorm program. Statistics are first acquired from an input cube or from a PVL file or table that was previously generated by the cubenorm program.

A combination lowpass/highpass filter is run on the columnar averages and median values for the input cube. The filter used to do the lowpass filtering is a one dimensional filter whose long dimension is an odd positive value greater than one.

There is an option to create a normalized output cube by applying either a multiplicative or subtractive correction to the data of the input cube. The normalization is performed using the updated statistics that have been filtered. The columnar averages or medians can be chosen as the normalizer. Each pixel is normalized by subtracting the normalization factor or by multiplying by the normalization factor.

There is an option NEW_VERSION which uses the updated logic for correcting Average and Median columns of the cubenorm stats. Similar processing is done individually for the Average and Median columns with combination of high and low pass filters. The left and right edges are problamatic and are cut out at the pause points. There are changes in the number of samples to be NULLed on left/right edge of the image depending on the Channel in the newer version. These samples are Nulled to avoid filter ringing.

For binning mode equal to 1, the number of iterations running lowpass filter is increased to 50 from the original 10. The highpass filter performs by checking for MaxValid pixels and filters by either divide or subtract option depending on the user specified MODE while earlier it was only subtraction. The highpass filter also Marks the samples with missing pixels (less than MaxValid Pixels) due to a problem with furrows or noise. The output of the highpass filter is checked for Markers and set to 1/0(Divide/Subtract) depending on the previous sample value. The direction left/right is based on the Channel.

Statistics Options: STATSOURCE


Description

This option is intended to be used when the statistics come from a source other than the input cube (default). cubenorm initial derives all its statistics from the input cube and applies it as specified by the user in the same run. This works for most conditions but does not works so well with abrupt changes in brightness such as craters or poles.

With this option, it is now possible to have the statistics come a file in a format compatable with the STATS output file. This can be a TABLE or PVL formatted input file. This allows statistics from other cubenorm runs to be used as input statistics source. It also allows intermediate processing on the FROM stats to apply additional smoothing or culling techniques.

Type string
Default CUBE
Option List:
Option Brief Description
CUBEStatistics are computed from FROM input cube This is the old behavior. The statistics are computed from the input cube as specified by the FROM parameter. They are also applied to the TO file if specifed in the same run.

Exclusions

  • FROMSTATS
PVLStatistics are provided in FROMSTATS in PVL format This option requires a filename in FROMSTATS with PVL formatted data. This format is the same format as is generated in the STATS output file.
TABLEStatistics are provided in FROMSTATS in TABLE format This option requires a filename in FROMSTATS with TABLE formatted data. This format is the same format as is generated in the STATS output file.
