Exports a cube to raw format

Overview Parameters

Description

This program will export an Isis cube to a greyscale raw formatted file. The raw image may be output into an 8-bit, 16-bit unsigned, 16-bit signed or 32-bit raw image. This raw image can be in BSQ, BIL, or BIP format, and can include or exclude Null, Lrs, Lis, His, and/or Hrs specific DN values. If no special pixel parameters are selected, then the special pixels are mapped in the following manner; Low Saturation values and Null values are made black and High Saturation values are made white. In order to ensure acceptable contrast in the output file, three stretch options are given 1) no stretch 2) linear, and 3) manual. A custom maximum and minimum DN value can be specified for 8-bit as well as 16-bit unsigned and 16-bit signed raw outputs. For example, if a range of 0 to 1023 is selected in a 16-bit unsigned raw image, the DNs are stretched to an effective 10-bit format.

Stretch Options: STRETCH


Description

This parameter is used to select one of three ways to stretch (or map) the input pixels. They are NONE, LINEAR, or MANUAL.

Type string
Default LINEAR
Option List:
Option Brief Description
NONE No stretch No stretch is performed.

Exclusions

  • MINIMUM
  • MAXIMUM
  • MINPERCENT

LINEAR Linear stretch A minimum and maximum are automatically computed based on the statistics of the selected input band. A histogram of the band is used to pick the minimum at 0.5% of the data and the maximum at 99.5% of the data. Input pixels less than or equal to the minimum are stretched to black while pixels greater than the or equal to the maximum are stretched to white. A linear mapping occurs between the minimum and maximum.

Exclusions

  • MINIMUM
