Summary
Groups adjacent pixels that have similar spectral and spatial characteristics.
Discussion
The input raster must be a 3-band, unsigned 8-bit image.
To use this function, specify the spectral_detail and spatial_detail arguments or the spectral_radius and spatial_radius arguments. These pairs of arguments have an inverse relationship.
For more information about how this function works, see the Segment Mean Shift 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.
Syntax
SegMeanShift (raster, spectral_detail, spatial_detail, {spectral_radius}, {spatial_radius}, min_num_pixels_per_segment, {astype})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
raster | The input raster. | Raster |
spectral_detail | The relative importance of separating objects based on color characteristics. Valid values range from 0 to 21. Smaller values result in broad classes and more smoothing. A higher value is appropriate when you want to discriminate between features having somewhat similar spectral characteristics. (The default value is None) | Double |
spatial_detail | The relative importance of separating objects based on spatial characteristics. Valid integer values range from 0 to 21. Smaller values result in broad classes and more smoothing. A higher value is appropriate for discriminating between features that are spatially small and clustered together. (The default value is None) | Integer |
spectral_radius | The relative importance of separating objects based on color characteristics. Valid values range from 0 to 21. Larger values result in broad classes and more smoothing. A lower value is appropriate when you want to discriminate between features having somewhat similar spectral characteristics. (The default value is None) | Double |
spatial_radius | The relative importance of separating objects based on spatial characteristics. Valid integer values range from 0 to 21. Larger values result in broad classes and more smoothing. A lower value is appropriate for discriminating between features that are spatially small and clustered together. (The default value is None) | Integer |
min_num_pixels_per_segment | The minimum segment size, measured in pixels. This value is related to your minimum mapping unit, and will filter out smaller blocks of pixels. (The default value is None) | Integer |
astype | The output pixel type. (The default value is None) | Double |
