similarity

Optional string. Choose the tolerance level for your control point matching.

  • Low- The similarity tolerance for finding control points will be low. This option will produce the most control points, but some may have a higher level of error.

  • Medium - The similarity tolerance for finding control points will be medium.

  • High - The similarity tolerance for finding control points will be high. This option will produce the least number of control points, but each matching pair will have a lower level of error. This is the default.

context

Optional dictionary.Additional settings such as the input control points spatial reference can be specified here.

For example: {“groundControlPointsSpatialReference”: {“wkid”: 3459}, “imagePointSpatialReference”: {“wkid”: 3459}}

Note: The ground control points spatial reference and image point spatial reference spatial reference set in the context parameter is to decide the returned point set’s ground control points spatial reference and image point spatial reference. If these two parameters are not set here, the tool will use the spatial reference defined in the input point set. And if no spatial reference is defined in the point set, then the default ground control points coordinates are in lon/lat and image points coordinates are in image coordinate system.

gis

color_correction

arcgis.raster.orthomapping.color_correction(image_collection, color_correction_method, dodging_surface_type, target_image=None, context=None, *, gis=None, future=False, **kwargs)

Color balance the image collection. Refer to the “Color Balance Mosaic Dataset” GP tool for documentation on color balancing mosaic datasets. http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/color-balance-mosaic-dataset.htm

Argument

Description

image_collection

Required. This is the image collection that will be adjusted.

The image_collection can be a portal Item or an image service URL or a URI

The image_collection must exist.

color_correction_method

Required string. This is the method that will be used for color correction computation. The available options are:

  • Dodging-Change each pixel’s value toward a target color. With this technique, you must also choose the type of target color surface, which affects the target color. Dodging tends to give the best result in most cases.

  • Histogram-Change each pixel’s value according to its relationship with a target histogram. The target histogram can be derived from all of the rasters, or you can specify a raster. This technique works well when all of the rasters have a similar histogram.

  • Standard_Deviation-Change each of the pixel’s values according to its relationship with the histogram of the target raster, within one standard deviation. The standard deviation can be calculated from all of the rasters in the mosaic dataset, or you can specify a target raster. This technique works best when all of the rasters have normal distributions.

dodging_surface_type

Required string.When using the Dodging balance method, each pixel needs a target color, which is determined by the surface type.

  • Single_Color-Use when there are only a small number of raster datasets and a few different types of ground objects. If there are too many raster datasets or too many types of ground surfaces, the output color may become blurred. All the pixels are altered toward a single color point-the average of all pixels.

  • Color_Grid- Use when you have a large number of raster datasets, or areas with a large number of diverse ground objects. Pixels are altered toward multiple target colors, which are distributed across the mosaic dataset.

  • First_Order- This technique tends to create a smoother color change and uses less storage in the auxiliary table, but it may take longer to process compared to the color grid surface. All pixels are altered toward many points obtained from the two-dimensional polynomial slanted plane.

  • Second_Order-This technique tends to create a smoother color change and uses less storage in the auxiliary table, but it may take longer to process compared to the color grid surface. All input pixels are altered toward a set of multiple points obtained from the two-dimensional polynomial parabolic surface.

  • Third_Order-This technique tends to create a smoother color change and uses less storage in the auxiliary table, but it may take longer to process compared to the color grid surface. All input pixels are altered toward multiple points obtained from the cubic surface.

target_image

Optional. The image service you want to use to color balance the images in the image collection. It can be a portal Item or an image service URL or a URI

image_location_accuracy

Optional string. This option allows you to specify the GPS location accuracy level of the source image. It determines how far the tool will search for neighboring matching images for calculating tie points and block adjustments.

The following are the available options: Low, Medium, High

  • Low- GPS accuracy of 20 to 50 meters, and the tool uses a maximum of 4 by 12 images.

  • Medium- GPS accuracy of 10 to 20 meters, and the tool uses a maximum of 4 by 6 images.

  • High- GPS accuracy of 0 to 10 meters, and the tool uses a maximum of 4 by 3 images.

If the image collection is created from satellite data, it will be automatically switched to use RPC adjustment mode. In this case, the mode need not be explicitly set by the user.

Default is High

context

Optional dictionary. Context contains additional environment settings that affect output control points generation.

Possible keys and their possible values are:

pointSimilarity- Sets LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH tolerance for computing control points with varying levels of potential error.

  • LOW tolerance will produce the most control point, but may have a higher level of error.

  • HIGH tolerance will produce the least number of control point, but each matching pair will have a lower level of error.

  • MEDIUM tolerance will set the similarity tolerance to medium.

pointDensity- Sets the number of tie points (LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH), to be created.

  • LOW point density will create the fewest number of tie points.

  • MEDIUM point density will create a moderate number of tie points.

  • HIGH point density will create the highest number of tie points.

pointDistribution- Randomly generates points that are better for overlapping areas with irregular shapes.

  • RANDOM- will generate points that are better for overlapping areas with irregular shapes.

  • REGULAR- will generate points based on a fixed pattern and uses the point density to determine how frequently to create points.
