TfGaussian

サマリー

Defines a Gaussian transformation function which is determined from the midpoint and spread shape–controlling parameters as well as the lower and upper threshold that identify the range within which to apply the function.

ディスカッション

The tool that uses the TfGaussian object is Rescale by Function.

The equation for the Gaussian transformation function is:

\(\mu(x) = e^{\large -f1 \space * \space {(x - f2)}^2 }\)

The inputs to the equation are \(f1\), the spread, and \(f2\), the midpoint.

The function values range from 0 to 1, which are then transformed to the evaluation scale.

The spread determines how rapidly the transformation function values decrease from the midpoint. If the midpoint is within the lower and upper thresholds, then the spread determines how rapidly the function values decrease from the toScale to the fromScale. The larger the spread, the steeper the function will be around the midpoint. Said another way, as the spread gets smaller, the transformation function approaches the midpoint more slowly.

The selection of an appropriate spread value is a subjective process that is dependent on the range of the input values. The default value of 0.1 is a good starting point. Typically, the values vary within the ranges of 0.01 to 1 or 0.001 to 1, respectively. A default spread is calculated to fit the function to the minimum and maximum of the input dataset.

The Gaussian function is useful when the highest preference is near a specific value.

The Gaussian function is similar to the Near function, except the Near function has a narrower spread and therefore is steeper around the midpoint.

名前 説明 データ タイプ

midpoint

(オプション)

The user-defined value that defines the highest point of the Gaussian transformation function curve. If the midpoint value is between the lower and upper threshold, input cell locations with the corresponding value will receive the toScale evaluation scale value on the output raster.

The default value is None.

Double

spread

(オプション)

Defines the spread of the Gaussian function that controls the steepness of the decay of the function from the midpoint. The spread generally ranges from 0.01 to 1; the larger the value results in a steeper decay from the midpoint.

The default value is None.

Double

lowerThreshold

(オプション)

Defines the starting value at which to begin applying the specified transformation function. The input value corresponding to the lowerThreshold is assigned to the fromScale evaluation scale value on the output raster. Input values below the lowerThreshold are assigned to the valueBelowThreshold and are not considered in the function value range.

The lowerThreshold must be less than the upperThreshold.

The default value is None.

Double

valueBelowThreshold

(オプション)

A user-specified value to assign output cell locations with input values below the lowerThreshold.

The value for valueBelowThreshold can be float, integer, or NoData. In the tool dialog box, no quotation marks are used around NoData; however, quotation marks are required around "NoData" when scripting.

The default value is None.

Variant

upperThreshold

(オプション)

Defines the ending value at which to stop applying the specified transformation function. The input value corresponding to the upperThreshold is assigned to the toScale evaluation scale value on the output raster. Input values above the upperThreshold are assigned to the valueAboveThreshold and are not considered in the function value range.

The lowerThreshold must be less than the upperThreshold.

The default value is None.

Double

valueAboveThreshold

(オプション)

A user-specified value to assign output cell locations with input values above the upperThreshold.

The value for valueAboveThreshold can be float, integer, or NoData. In the tool dialog box, no quotation marks are used around NoData; however, quotation marks are required around "NoData" when scripting.

The default value is None.
