Example

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

otbcli_Despeckle -in sar.tif -filter lee -filter.lee.rad 5 -out despeckle.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 Despeckle application
Despeckle = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("Despeckle")

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

Despeckle.SetParameterString("filter","lee")

Despeckle.SetParameterInt("filter.lee.rad", 5)

Despeckle.SetParameterString("out", "despeckle.tif")

# The following line execute the application
