Dimensionality reduction

Perform Dimension reduction of the input image.

Detailed description

Performs dimensionality reduction on input image. PCA,NA-PCA,MAF,ICA methods are available. It is also possible to compute the inverse transform to reconstruct the image. It is also possible to optionnaly export the transformation matrix to a text file.

Parameters

This section describes in details the parameters available for this application. Table [1] presents a summary of these parameters and the parameters keys to be used in command-line and programming languages. Application key is DimensionalityReduction .

Input Image The input image to apply dimensionality reduction.

Output Image output image. Components are ordered by decreasing eigenvalues.

Rescale Output.

  • Output min value: Minimum value of the output image.
  • Output max value: Maximum value of the output image.

Inverse Output Image reconstruct output image.

Algorithm Selection of the reduction dimension method. Available choices are:

  • PCA : Principal Component Analysis.
  • NA-PCA : Noise Adjusted Principal Component Analysis.
  • Set the x radius of the sliding window. :
  • Set the y radius of the sliding window. :
  • MAF : Maximum Autocorrelation Factor.
  • ICA : Independent Component Analysis.
  • number of iterations :
  • Give the increment weight of W in [0, 1] :

Number of Components. Number of relevant components kept. By default all components are kept.

Normalize. center AND reduce data before Dimensionality reduction.

Transformation matrix output (text format) Filename to store the transformation matrix (csv format).

Example

To run this example in command-line, use the following:

otbcli_DimensionalityReduction -in cupriteSubHsi.tif -out FilterOutput.tif -method pca

To run this example from Python, use the following code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import the otb applications package
import otbApplication

# The following line creates an instance of the DimensionalityReduction application
DimensionalityReduction = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("DimensionalityReduction")

# The following lines set all the application parameters:
DimensionalityReduction.SetParameterString("in", "cupriteSubHsi.tif")

DimensionalityReduction.SetParameterString("out", "FilterOutput.tif")

DimensionalityReduction.SetParameterString("method","pca")

# The following line execute the application
DimensionalityReduction.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()

Limitations

This application does not provide the inverse transform and the transformation matrix export for the MAF.
