ForestHealthClassification Task

This task performs raster classification based on Forest Health Estimate.

For additional details on forest health analysis, see Forest Health Tool.

Example

; Start the application

e = ENVI()

; Open an input file

File = Filepath('AVIRISReflectanceSubset.dat', Subdir=['data', 'hyperspectral'], $

Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)

Raster = e.OpenRaster(File)

; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks

Task = ENVITask('ForestHealthClassification')

; Define inputs

Task.INDEX_1 = 'Normalized Difference Vegetation Index'

Task.INDEX_2 = 'Anthocyanin Reflectance Index 1'

Task.INDEX_3 = 'Water Band Index'

Task.INPUT_RASTER = Raster

; Run the task

Task.Execute

; Add the output to the Data Manager

DataColl.Add, Task.OUTPUT_RASTER

; Display the result

View = e.GetView()

Layer = View.CreateLayer(Task.OUTPUT_RASTER)

Syntax

Result = ENVITask('ForestHealthClassification')

Input properties (Set, Get): INDEX_1, INDEX_2, INDEX_3, INPUT_RASTER, MINIMUM_NDVI, 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.
