static void HOperatorSet.PrincipalComp(HObject multichannelImage, out HObject PCAImage, out HTuple infoPerComp)

HImage HImage.PrincipalComp(out HTuple infoPerComp)

Description

principal_compprincipal_compPrincipalCompPrincipalCompPrincipalComp does a principal components analysis of multichannel images. This is useful for images obtained, e.g., with the thematic mapper of the Landsat satellite. Because the spectral bands are highly correlated, it is desirable to transform them to uncorrelated images. This can be used to save storage, since the bands containing little information can be discarded, and with respect to a later classification step.

The operator principal_compprincipal_compPrincipalCompPrincipalCompPrincipalComp takes a (multichannel) image MultichannelImageMultichannelImageMultichannelImageMultichannelImagemultichannelImage and transforms it to the output image PCAImagePCAImagePCAImagePCAImagePCAImage, which contains the same number of channels, using the principal components analysis. The parameter InfoPerCompInfoPerCompInfoPerCompInfoPerCompinfoPerComp contains the relative information content of each output channel.

Attention

principal_compprincipal_compPrincipalCompPrincipalCompPrincipalComp can be executed on OpenCL devices if image consists of eight channels or less. Since the calculations are done in single precision floating point, the results may differ from those calculated by the CPU.

Note that filter operators may return unexpected results if an image with a reduced domain is used as input. Please refer to the chapter Filters.
