Radiometric Indices¶

Compute radiometric indices.

Detailed description¶

This application computes radiometric indices using the relevant channels of the input image. The output is a multi band image into which each channel is one of the selected indices.

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 RadiometricIndices .

Example¶

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

otbcli_RadiometricIndices -in qb_RoadExtract.tif -list Vegetation:NDVI Vegetation:RVI Vegetation:IPVI -out RadiometricIndicesImage.tif

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 RadiometricIndices application
RadiometricIndices = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("RadiometricIndices")

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

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