Open Dataset conversion status (Monteverdi)

This page tries to summarize the current status of data conversion done in Monteverdi.

In the Reader Module, when an input file is selected, a type of output is proposed by analysis of the input pixel type but user can override this choice. Moreover the number of band has an impact on the output render in Monteverdi.

Reading a monoband scalar image

with Data type selector = Optical Image

• OK
• Nominal Case
• Create one VectorImage with one band: out(1) = in

with Data type selector = SAR Image

• OK
• Create one Complex Image: out = (in , 0 )
• Create 4 Scalar Images: Re(out), Im(out) = 0, Abs(out), Phase(out)

Reading a monoband complex image

with Data type selector = Optical Image

• OK
• Create one VectorImage: out(1) = Re(in) and out(2) = Im(in)
• Create 3 Scalar Image: Abs(in), out(1) and out(2)

with Data type selector = SAR Image

• OK
• Nominal Case
• Create one Complex Image: out = in
• Create 4 Scalar Images : Re(out), Im(out), Abs(out), Phase(out)

Reading a multiband scalar image

we consider that the input file is composed of nbinputBands.

with Data type selector = Optical Image

• OK
• Nominal Case
• Create one Vector Image: out(i) = in(i) with i=[1,nbInputBands]
• Create nbInputBands Scalar Images

with Data type selector = SAR Image

• if nbInputBands == 2 OK (coherent with spec in OTB)
• Create of 1 Complex Image: out= (in(1), in(2)) and 4 Scalar Images: Re(out), Im(out), Abs(out), Phase(out)
• if nbInputBands > 2 then WEIRD CASE should deactivate open button.

Reading a multiband complex image

with Data type selector = Optical Image

• OK (coherent with OTB spec)
• Create one VectorImage with 2*nbInputBands bands
• Create 2*nbInputBands Scalar Images: out(2k-1) = Re(in(k)) and out(2k) = Im(in(k)) with k=[1,nbInputBands]
• Perhaps add some information in the message descriptor about this operation

with Data type selector = SAR Image

• KO interleaving of the different band in the real image and imaginary image
• Proposal :
  • throw a exception (deactivate open button);
  • add a module which enable to select one band and display only this one in monteverdi following the monoband complex case;
  • Create one VectorImage of complex and 4 VectorImage Scalar for Modulus, Real, Imaginary and Phase part composed of this computation for each band.
