FerrousMinerals

Resumen

Calculates the Ferrous Minerals (FM) ratio from a multiband raster object and returns a raster object with the index values.

Debate

The ferrous minerals ratio highlights iron-bearing materials. It uses the ratio between the SWIR band and the NIR band.

\(Ferrous\ Minerals\ Ratio\ =\ SWIR \space / \space NIR\)

  • SWIR = pixel values from the short-wave infrared band

  • NIR = pixel values from the near infrared band

For information about other multiband raster indexes, see the Band Arithmetic raster function.

The referenced raster dataset for the raster object is temporary. To make it permanent, you can call the raster object's save method.

Sintaxis

FerrousMinerals(raster, {swir_band_id}, {nir_band_id})

El parámetro Explicación Tipo de datos

raster

The input raster.

Raster

swir_band_id

The band ID of the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band.

The band ID index uses one-based indexing.

The default value is 6.

Integer

nir_band_id

The band ID of the near-infrared band. The ID index uses one-based indexing.

The default value is 5.

Integer

Valor de retorno

Tipo de datos Explicación
