Input Image Input image.

Output Image Output image.

Available RAM (Mb) Available memory for processing (in MB).

Extraction mode
Available choices are:
  • Standard : In standard mode, extract is done according the coordinates entered by the user
  • Fit : In fit mode, extract is made to best fit a reference image.
  • Reference image : Reference image to define the ROI.
  • Elevation management : This group of parameters allows managing elevation values. Supported formats are SRTM, DTED or any geotiff. DownloadSRTMTiles application could be a useful tool to list/download tiles related to a product.
  • DEM directory : This parameter allows selecting a directory containing Digital Elevation Model files. Note that this directory should contain only DEM files. Unexpected behaviour might occurs if other images are found in this directory.
  • Geoid File : Use a geoid grid to get the height above the ellipsoid in case there is no DEM available, no coverage for some points or pixels with no_data in the DEM tiles. A version of the geoid can be found on the OTB website (http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-Data/raw-file/404aa6e4b3e0/Input/DEM/egm96.grd).
  • Default elevation : This parameter allows setting the default height above ellipsoid when there is no DEM available, no coverage for some points or pixels with no_data in the DEM tiles, and no geoid file has been set. This is also used by some application as an average elevation value.

Start X ROI start x position.

Start Y ROI start y position.

Size X size along x in pixels.

Size Y size along y in pixels.

Output Image channels Channels to write in the output image.

Example

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

otbcli_ExtractROI -in VegetationIndex.hd -startx 40 -starty 250 -sizex 150 -sizey 150 -out ExtractROI.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 ExtractROI application
ExtractROI = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("ExtractROI")

# The following lines set all the application parameters:
ExtractROI.SetParameterString("in", "VegetationIndex.hd")

ExtractROI.SetParameterInt("startx", 40)

ExtractROI.SetParameterInt("starty", 250)

ExtractROI.SetParameterInt("sizex", 150)

ExtractROI.SetParameterInt("sizey", 150)

ExtractROI.SetParameterString("out", "ExtractROI.tif")

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