Overview
The Subset Bands function allows you to extract a subset of bands using ranges or lists. This function supports both multispectral and hyperspectral images and maintains the same band order as the input.
Notes
The Combination parameter is used to specify the bands to extract. The bands are entered as a space-delimited list and can be specified as ranges of bands. For example, when specifying a subset using the ID option for the Method parameter, a value of 20-50 60-100 200 will extract band IDs between (inclusive) 20 and 50, 60 and 100, and a band with an ID of 200.
When specifying the Combination parameter value using the Wavelength option for the Method parameter, all bands within the wavelength range will be extracted.
When specifying bands by wavelength, the units—such as microns or nanometers—are the same as the input units.
Subsets using the Band Names option must be a list of individual names delimitated by a space, such as band_1 band_2 band_3. Range is not supported for the Band Names option.
A bad band in hyperspectral imagery refers to a band that is corrupted, or is affected by noise and should be ignored in subsequent analysis. Normally, surface reflectance products will have bad bands labeled in the data. When the Exclude Bad Bands parameter is checked, the bands that have been labeled as invalid will not be included in the output.
You can use the Subset Bands function before other functions to control which bands are used as input in the next function.
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Raster | A raster, multispectral, or hyperspectral image from which bands will be extracted. |
Method | The method that will be used to extract the subset bands:
|
Combination | Select the bands to extract based on the Method parameter option used. The type ranges or values, separated by a space, that specify the bands to extract. Use the Minimum and Maximum controls to define the range of bands, and click the Add button |
Missing Band Action | Specify the action that will occur when a band in the extract band list is not available.
|
Exclude Bad Bands | Specify whether to exclude bands in the data that are flagged as bad.
