Apply a trim filter to a cube

Description

This program convolves an NxM boxcar through a cube and trims (or NULLs) pixels. A pixel at the center of the boxcar is trimmed in the output cube if the number of valid pixels inside the boxcar is less than a user specified minimum. Valid pixels are defined as those which are 1) not special pixels and 2) inside the range of the LOW and HIGH parameters. This is a very powerful trimming tool although much thought must be put into the parameters in order to obtain the optimal trimming results.

Boxcar Size: SAMPLES

Description

This is the total number of samples in the boxcar. It must be odd and can not exceed twice the number of samples in the cube. In general, the size of the boxcar does not cause the program to operate significantly slower.

Type integer
Minimum 1 (inclusive)
Odd This value must be an odd number

Boxcar Size: LINES

Description

This is the total number of lines in the boxcar. It must be odd and can not exceed twice the number of lines in the cube. In general, the size of the boxcar does not cause the program to operate significantly slower.

Type integer
Minimum 1 (inclusive)
Odd This value must be an odd number

Boxcar Restrictions: LOW

Description

Valid minimum pixel value that will be used in boxcar computation. If a pixel value is less than LOW then it will not be used when computing boxcar counts.

Type double
Internal Default Use all pixels
Less Than
  • HIGH

Boxcar Restrictions: HIGH

Description

Valid maximum pixel value that will be used in boxcar computation. If a pixel value is greater than HIGH then it will not be used when computing boxcar counts.

Type double
Internal Default Use all pixels
Greater Than
  • LOW

Boxcar Restrictions: MINOPT

Description

This parameter determines whether the minimum parameter is to be interpreted as a count of pixels, or a percentage of all pixels in the boxcar.

Type string
Default COUNT
Option List:
Option Brief Description
COUNT Minimum valid pixel count This option indicates that the minimum is a minimum count of pixels required for filtering.
PERCENTAGE Minimum valid pixel percentage This option indicates the the minimum parameter is to be interpreted as a percentage of the total pixels in the boxcar.

Boxcar Restrictions: MINIMUM

Description

This is the minimum number of valid pixels which must occur inside the NxM boxcar in order to preserve the output pixel. For example, a 3x5 boxcar has 15 pixels inside. If MINIMUM=10 then the trimming will occur if there are 9 or less valid pixels. A valid pixel is one that is not special (NULL, LIS, etc) and is in the range defined by LOW to HIGH.

Type double
Default 1
Minimum 1 (inclusive)
