ossim-create-bitmask(1)


NAME

   ossim-create-bitmask - ossim-create-bitmask

SYNOPSIS

   ossim-create-bitmask [options] <input file>

DESCRIPTION

   Description:  ossim-create-bitmask  Generates  a  bit-mask given source
   image and target pixel range to  mask  out.  If  the  input  image  has
   overviews, then masks will be generated for all R-levels.

OPTIONS

   --disable-elev
          Will disable the elevation

   --disable-notify
          Takes an argument. Arguments are ALL, WARN, NOTICE, INFO, FATAL,
          DEBUG.  If you want multiple  disables  then  just  do  multiple
          --disable-notify  on  the  command  line.  All argument are case
          insensitive.  Default is all are enabled.

   --disable-plugin
          Will disable the plugin loader

   --mask-mode <mode>
          Specifies how  to  treat  multi-band  imagery  when  determining
          whether  pixel  will  be  masked according to the defined target
          value      or       range.       Possible       modes       are:
          "mask_full_and_partial_targets"            (default)           |
          "mask_only_full_targets".

   --mask-range <min> <max>
          Specifies the range of pixels to target for masking out.

   --mask-value <target>
          Specifies the unique pixel value to target for masking out.

   --ossim-logfile
          takes a  logfile  as  an  argument.   All  output  messages  are
          redirected  to  the  specified log file.  By default there is no
          log file and all messages are enabled.

   --ovr-from-image
          Uses  exclusively  the  image  overview  data   when   computing
          subsequent  overviews. Normally the mask overview from the prior
          level is referenced for  establishing  the  masks  at  the  next
          level.

   --spec-kwl <filename>
          In  lieu  of providing mask parameters on the command line, this
          option specifies a  keyword  list  filename  that  contains  all
          settings. Typically used when spawning from other process.

   -K     specify  individual  keywords  to add to the preferences keyword
          list: name=value

   -P     specify a preference file to load

   -T     specify the classes to trace, ex:  ossimInit|ossimImage.*   will
          trace ossimInit and all ossimImage classes

   -d     Write mask to directory specified.

   -e or --entry
          Give  the  entry(zero based) for which to build a mask. Only one
          entry can be processed. If the input is multi-entry and no entry
          was specified, entry 0 is assumed.

   -h or --help
          Shows help

   -o     Write  mask  to  file specified.  If used on a multi-entry file,
          given "foo.mask" you will get: "foo_e0.mask". If none specified,
          the input filename is used with ".mask" extension.

   -x or --exclude-fullres
          Excludes R0 mask computation. The mask file will start at R1.
