Parameter descriptions

Input Folder

The path and name of the folder containing valid GDB-supported images; typically, this is the output folder of the Data Ingest module.

Output Folder

The path and name of the folder to which to write the output files.

Output File Type

The format of the output file.

For more information on the supported file formats, see GDB-supported file formats.

Output File Options

The options to apply when creating the output file or files. The available options are specific to the file format; in each case, the default of no options is allowed.

For more information on the options available for the output file type you specify, see GDB-supported file formats.

Overwrite Results

Select this check box to overwrite the existing output files, if any exist. If this check box is left clear, and an output file exists in the relevant folder, the status of the job displays a message informing you of the existence and name of the output file. The message is also written to the event log of the job.

Send Email

If necessary, you can set up CATALYST Enterprise to send an email notification on job start and job completion.

With this check box selected, an email message is sent to each address specified in the Email Addresses box after the job starts and on completion.

You can specify one or more addresses, and each must be separated by a comma or a semi-colon. The email address of the user currently logged in displays by default.

Tile Base Name

A constant string to be used for all tiles created during the image-tiling process. For example, if your input image is named l7_ms, and the value of the Tile Base Name parameter is tile, the first tile generated will have the name l7_ms_tile1_1.

Number of Tiles

The number of image tiles to create in the x and y directions with positive integers, separated by commas. If only one value is set, this value will be used in both directions.

Tile Overlap

Set the overlapping size of adjacent tiles with pixel as the unit. For example, if this parameter is set to 2, adjacent images will expand by two pixels on each side, respectively, and the actual overlapping pixels will be four.

General job details

Preprocessing requirements

Before running this module, the following requirements must be met to ensure the job processes successfully and produces accurate results:

Module details

Image Tiling module creates multiple image files from one or more input image files. Each image is tiled according to the number of tiles requested and the overlap size.

Job results

Image Tiling module creates image tiles from input files based on the values of the Number of Tiles parmater and the Tile Overlap parameter, respectively.
