Description


HOM classifies homogeneous areas on an image channel, where areas are defined by an input theme channel. Output pixel values are the MEAN or MODE of input pixel values in each homogeneous area.

Parameter descriptions

Input: Input image channel to be classified

Specifies the input raster channel to classify for defined homogeneous areas.

The input channel must NOT be the same as the input theme channel (DBTC) or the output channel (DBOC).

InputTheme: Input theme channel

Specifies the input theme channel that defines the homogeneous areas of interest.

The input theme channel must NOT be the same as the input image channel (DBIC) or the output channel (DBOC).

Output Type

Specifies the output type of imagery.

Supported values are:

Output: Output homogeneous channel

Specifies the output raster channel to receive the output imagery.

The output channel must NOT be the same as the input image channel (DBIC) or the input theme channel (DBTC).

Resample Mode

Specifies the resampling method to use in evaluating the output image pixel values.

The following values are supported:

Details

HOM classifies all pixels in an input image channel (DBIC) using an input theme channel (DBTC) to define the homogeneous areas of interest; up to 2048 areas may be processed.

The output image channel (DBOC) results are determined by the OTYP (Output Type) parameter. If the output type is "MEAN", the mean (or average) gray-level of the input image pixels for a defined homogeneous area will be output to the corresponding pixels in the output channel.

If the output type is "MODE", the mode (or most common gray level) in a defined homogeneous area is used as output.

If the output type is "MEAN", the HOMTHRES and NCVALUE parameters are ignored.
