[Request for Changes - 17] Provide a default output pixel type in applications

Status

Summary

This RFC adds a default pixel type for output image parameters in the ApplicationEngine.

Rationale

An issue was raised on develop list, that the classification application always cast outputs to uint8 pixel type, which can be a problem with class labels greater than 255. The output pixel type is float by default but applications can change it in the DoInit(). It is useful to know the default output pixel type in a help message (and not the current value of the output pixel type).

Implementation details

Classes and files

M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/include/otbWrapperApplication.h
M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/include/otbWrapperComplexOutputImageParameter.h
M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/include/otbWrapperOutputImageParameter.h
M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/src/otbWrapperApplication.cxx
M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/src/otbWrapperComplexOutputImageParameter.cxx
M       Modules/Wrappers/ApplicationEngine/src/otbWrapperOutputImageParameter.cxx

A protected attribute "m_DefaultPixelType" (resp. "m_DefaultComplexPixelType") has been added to the OutputImageParameter class (resp. ComplexOutputImageParameter). The classes also offer static methods to convert a pixel type into "human readable" string (ConvertPixelTypeToString).

The Reset() method is re-implemented in those classes in order to reset the pixel type to default, however, this reset is not actually used in application launchers (cli or gui).

The class Application offers 2 methods to set a default pixel type to an OutputImageParameter or a ComplexOutputImageParameter. 

M       Modules/Wrappers/CommandLine/src/otbWrapperCommandLineLauncher.cxx

The help message from command line launcher has been improved : it now reads the default pixel type from (Complex)OutputImageParameter and displays it.

Applications

M       Modules/Applications/AppClassification/app/otbClassificationMapRegularization.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppClassification/app/otbFusionOfClassifications.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppClassification/app/otbImageClassifier.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppClassification/app/otbKMeansClassification.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppClassification/app/otbSOMClassification.cxx

M       Modules/Applications/AppSegmentation/app/otbLSMSSegmentation.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppSegmentation/app/otbLSMSSmallRegionsMerging.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppSegmentation/app/otbSegmentation.cxx
M       Modules/Applications/AppStereo/app/otbBlockMatching.cxx

Among all the OutputImageParameter in the applications, some of them produce RGB color images, binray mask or label images. For these cases, the default pixel type should be different than Float :

  • RGB color image : uint8
  • binary mask : uint8
  • class label image : uint8 (although in some cases, uint16 is necessary)
  • region label from segmentation : uint32
