ENVIDeepLearningObjectDetectionRaster::CreateTileIterator

The CreateTileIterator function method returns a reference to an ENVIRasterIterator object.

This method is part of ENVI Deep Learning, which requires a separate license and installation.

Example

Sample data files are available on our ENVI Tutorials web page. Click the "Deep Learning" link in the ENVI Tutorial Data section to download a .zip file containing the data. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a local directory. Files are located in the object_detection folder.

For the following example:

Copy and paste the procedure into an IDL editor window.

Return Value

This method returns a reference to an ENVIRasterIterator for the ENVIRaster.

Keywords

BANDS

Set this keyword to an n-element array expressing the integer indices (0-based) of the bands to be included in the spectral range the iterator will traverse. By default, all bands will be included.

ERROR

Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain any error message issued during execution of this routine. If no error occurs, the ERROR variable will be set to a null string (''). If an error occurs and the routine is a function, then the function result will be undefined.

When this keyword is not set and an error occurs, ENVI returns to the caller and execution halts. In this case, the error message is contained within !ERROR_STATE and can be caught using IDL's CATCH routine. See IDL Help for more information on !ERROR_STATE and CATCH.

See the Manage Errors topic in ENVI Help for more information on error handling.

MODE

Set this keyword to one of the following case-insensitive strings: 'spatial', 'spectral'.

If set to 'spatial' (the default value), the iterator returns two-dimensional tiles of the form:

[range(columns dimension), range(rows dimension)]

The same spatial range is returned N times for N bands specified by the BANDS keyword.

If set to 'spectral', the iterator returns two-dimensional tiles of the form:

[range(columns dimension), range(bands dimension)]

In this case, a tile is returned for each row in the iterator span.

SUB_RECT

Set this keyword to a four-element array expressing the spatial range (in pixels) of the subset to be included in the spatial range the iterator will traverse. By default, the full extent of the image will be included. The array is of the form [x₁, y₁, x₂, y₂], where:

x₁ = First pixel of the columns dimension

y₁ = First pixel of the rows dimension

x₂ = Last pixel of the columns dimension

y₂ = Last pixel of the rows dimension

Pixel coordinates are zero-based.

TILE_SIZE

A two-element array expressing the size (in pixels) of the tiles to be returned by the iterator. The first element defines size in the columns dimension; the second in the rows dimension. TILE_SIZE specifies the preferred dimensions; many tiles (such as edge cases) will be smaller than the specified size. TILE_SIZE is ignored when MODE='spectral'. The default value is 1024 x 1024, or the image dimensions if they are smaller.
