3.4.1. Band set¶
Image input in SCP is named band set. This tab allows for the definition of one or more band sets used as input for classification and other tools.
Band sets are identified by numbers. The active band set (i.e. the tab selected in Band set definition with bold green name) is used as input for the tools in SCP dock and Working toolbar. Other SCP tools allow for the selection of band set numbers.
The Band set definition is saved with the QGIS project.
The tool Band set list allows for the management of band sets.
3.4.1.1. Multiband image list¶
This section allows for the selection of a multiband raster. If selected, raster bands are listed in the active band set.
3.4.1.2. Single band list¶
List of single band rasters already loaded in QGIS. It is possible to select one or more bands to be added to the active band set.
3.4.1.3. Band set definition¶
Definition of bands composing the band sets . The active band set is the tab selected with bold green name. It is possible to add new band sets clicking the following button:
Click the in the tab to remove the corresponding band set.
Band sets can be reordered dragging the tabs.
The Center wavelength of bands should be defined in order to use several functions of SCP. If the Center wavelength of bands is not defined, the band number is used and some SCP tools will be disabled.
It is possible to define a multiplicative rescaling factor and additive rescaling factor for each band (for instance using the values in Landsat metadata), which are used on the fly (i.e. pixel value = original pixel value * multiplicative rescaling factor + additive rescaling factor
) during the processing.
Every band set is defined with the following table:
Band set #: table containing the following fields;
- Band name
: name of the band; name cannot be edited;
- Center wavelength
: center of the wavelength of the band;
- Multiplicative Factor
: multiplicative rescaling factor;
- Additive Factor
: additive rescaling factor;
- Wavelength unit
: wavelength unit;
- Image name
: image name for multiband rasters;
- Date
: image acquisition date;
- Band name
: move highlighted bands upward;
: move highlighted bands downward;
: sort automatically bands by name, giving priority to the ending numbers of name;
: remove highlighted bands from the active band set;
: clear all bands from active band set;
- Wavelength quick settings
