BinaryGTThresholdRaster Task

This task creates a new raster where values above a specified threshold are set to 1 and all other values are set to 0. The resulting raster has a DATA_TYPE of Byte.

The virtual raster associated with this task is ENVIBinaryGTThresholdRaster.

Example

; Start the application

e = ENVI()

; Open an input file

File = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi', Subdir=['data'], $

Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)

Raster = e.OpenRaster(File)

; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks

Task = ENVITask('BinaryGTThresholdRaster')

; Define inputs

Task.INPUT_RASTER = Raster

Task.THRESHOLD = [250., 360., 270., 360.]

; Run the task

Task.Execute

; Add the output to the Data Manager

e.Data.Add, Task.OUTPUT_RASTER

; Display the result

View = e.GetView()

Layer = View.CreateLayer(Task.Output_Raster)

Layer.QUICK_STRETCH = 'equalization'

Syntax

Result = ENVITask('BinaryGTThresholdRaster')

Input properties (Set, Get): INPUT_RASTER, OUTPUT_RASTER_URI, THRESHOLD

Output properties (Get only): OUTPUT_RASTER

Properties marked as "Set" are those that you can set to specific values. You can also retrieve their current values any time. Properties marked as "Get" are those whose values you can retrieve but not set.

Methods

This task inherits the following methods from ENVITask:

Properties

This task inherits the following properties from ENVITask:

COMMUTE_ON_DOWNSAMPLE

INPUT_RASTER (required)

Specify the raster to threshold.

OUTPUT_RASTER

This is a reference to the output raster of filetype ENVI.

OUTPUT_RASTER_URI (optional)

Specify a string with the fully qualified filename and path to export the associated OUTPUT_RASTER.

If you set this property to an asterisk symbol (*), the output raster will be virtual and not written to disk.
If you do not specify this property, or set it to an exclamation symbol (!), a temporary file will be created.

THRESHOLD (required)

Specify an array of threshold values (one per band). If the source raster only has one band, specify an array with one element.

Version History

ENVI 5.3	Introduced
ENVI 5.5	OUTPUT_RASTER_URI now supports '*', which allows OUTPUT_RASTER to be virtual output.
