RSGISLib Image Filter Module

Contains image filtering functionality for rsgislib

Tiled (Multi Processing Core) Filtering

rsgislib.imagefilter.tiledfilter.performTiledImgFilter(inputImg, outputImg, filterInst, dataType=None, gdalformat='KEA', tmpDIR='tmp', width=2000, height=2000, nCores=- 1)

This function will perform a filtering of an input image where the input image will be tiled and the tiles executed on multiple processing cores. This function is primarily of use for larger images or when using very large filter windows otherwise the over head of tiling and mosaicking are not worth it.

Parameters
  • inputImg – is the file name and path for the input image file.

  • outputImg – is the file name and path for the output image file.

  • filterInst – is an instance of a filter class available within rsgislib.imagefilter.tiledfilter.

  • datatype – is the output image data type (e.g., rsgislib.TYPE_32FLOAT; Default is None). If None then data type of input image is used.

  • gdalformat – string with the GDAL image format for the output image (Default = KEA). NOTE. KEA is used as intermediate format internally and therefore needs to be available.

  • tmpDIR – the temporary directory where intermediate files will be written (default is ‘tmp’). Directory will be created and deleted if does not exist.

  • width – int for width of the image tiles used for processing (Default = 2000).

  • height – int for height of the image tiles used for processing (Default = 2000).

  • nCores – is an int specifying the number of cores to be used for clumping processing.

Example:

import rsgislib
from rsgislib.imagefilter import tiledfilter
from rsgislib import imageutils

inputImage = 'LandsatImg.kea'
outputImage = 'LandsatImgMedianFilter.kea'

medianFilter = tiledfilter.RSGISMedianFilter(7, "KEA", rsgislib.TYPE_16UINT)
tiledfilter.performTiledImgFilter(inputImage, outputImage, medianFilter, width=2000, height=2000)
imageutils.popImageStats(outputImage, usenodataval=False, nodataval=0, calcpyramids=True)
rsgislib.imagefilter.tiledfilter.performTiledImgMultiFilter(inputImg, outputImgs, filterInsts, dataType=None, gdalformat='KEA', tmpDIR='tmp', width=2000, height=2000, nCores=- 1)

This function will perform the filtering using multiple filters of an input image where the input image will be tiled and the tiles executed on multiple processing cores. This function is primarily of use for larger images or when using very large filter windows otherwise the over head of tiling and mosaicking are not worth it.

Parameters
  • inputImg – is the file name and path for the input image file.

  • outputImgs – is a list of file names and paths for the output image files - Note, must be the same length as filterInsts.

  • filterInsts – is a list of filter instances of the classes available within rsgislib.imagefilter.tiledfilter - Note, must be the same length as filterInsts.

  • datatype – is the output image data type (e.g., rsgislib.TYPE_32FLOAT; Default is None). If None then data type of input image is used.

  • gdalformat – string with the GDAL image format for the output image (Default = KEA). NOTE. KEA is used as intermediate format internally and therefore needs to be available.

  • tmpDIR – the temporary directory where intermediate files will be written (default is ‘tmp’). Directory will be created and deleted if does not exist.

  • width – int for width of the image tiles used for processing (Default = 2000).

  • height – int for height of the image tiles used for processing (Default = 2000).
