Obtains the DN value at a percent in a histogram

Overview Parameters Example 1

Description

This program will output the DN value at a cumulative percentage in a histogram. For example, requesting the 50% DN will output the median. Values such as the 0.5% and 99.5% are good for selecting minimums and maximums which do not include outliers. The histogram will be obtained from a single band in the input cube and is identified using the band specifier (e.g., file.cub:5). In general, this program is used within batch jobs, perl programs, or other scripting languages. The value(s) will be written to the output text file specified by the parameter TO and it can be extracted using the "getkey" program. If multiple percents were requested, the values are printed to the text file in the same order as the requested percents and are comma delimited.

Files: FROM


Description

Compute the histogram using this cube file. The program operates on only one band and therefore a band specifier is required (e.g., file.cub:3)

Files: TO


Description

A text file in label format which will contain the results of this program. This file can be used inconjunction with the "getkey" program in order to pass the results to another program.

Selection: PERCENTAGE


Description

This parameter indicates the cumulative percentage to examine in the histogram. The DN value at that percentage will be output by this program. For example, PERCENTAGE=50 will return the median of the image. When entering multiple percentages, be sure they are comma delimited.
