Local Statistic Extraction¶

Computes local statistical moments on every pixel in the selected channel of the input image

Detailed description¶

This application computes the 4 local statistical moments on every pixel in the selected channel of the input image, over a specified neighborhood. The output image is multi band with one statistical moment (feature) per band. Thus, the 4 output features are the Mean, the Variance, the Skewness and the Kurtosis. They are provided in this exact order in the output image.

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 LocalStatisticExtraction .

Example¶

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

otbcli_LocalStatisticExtraction -in qb_RoadExtract.tif -channel 1 -radius 3 -out Statistics.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 LocalStatisticExtraction application
LocalStatisticExtraction = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("LocalStatisticExtraction")

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

LocalStatisticExtraction.SetParameterInt("channel", 1)

LocalStatisticExtraction.SetParameterInt("radius", 3)

LocalStatisticExtraction.SetParameterString("out", "Statistics.tif")

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

Limitations¶

None
