ChangeThresholdClassification Task
This task lets you manually set the threshold needed to classify change detection between two images.
Example
This example performs a difference analysis between two images from different dates, then it sets thresholding values for change detection. The images represent NCEP-Reanalysis 2 air temperatures (K) at the 1000-isobar level, at 0600 hours Zulu time. The first image is from 29 December 2012, and the second is from 31 December 2012. Each image has one band. This example uses sample data from the ENVI installation path.
; Start the application
e = ENVI()
TimeSeriesDir = Filepath('', Subdir=['data','time_series'], $
Root_Dir = e.Root_Dir)
files = File_Search(TimeSeriesDir, 'AirTemp*.dat')

rasters = ObjArr(numRasters)
FOR i=0, (numRasters-1) DO $
rasters[i] = e.OpenRaster(files[i])

; Define inputs
Task.INPUT_RASTERS = rasters

; Indices are zero-based.

ChangeThresholdTask.DECREASE_THRESHOLD = 0.411400
; Run the task
ChangeThresholdTask.Execute
; Get the collection of data objects currently available in the Data Manager
DataColl = e.Data
; Add the output to the Data Manager
DataColl.Add, ChangeThresholdTask.OUTPUT_RASTER
; Display the result

Syntax
Result = ENVITask('ChangeThresholdClassification')
Input properties (Set, Get): DECREASE_THRESHOLD, INCREASE_THRESHOLD, INPUT_RASTER, OUTPUT_RASTER_URI
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:
This task also contains the following properties:
DECREASE_THRESHOLD (optional)
Specify the decrease threshold to show areas of decrease.
INCREASE_THRESHOLD (optional)
Specify the increase threshold to show areas of increase.
INPUT_RASTER (required)
Specify a raster on which 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 of the associated OUTPUT_RASTER. If you do not specify this property, or set it to an exclamation symbol (!), a temporary file will be created.
