Coastline, Land and Water Masks |
Creates the following masks for the currently loaded product: WaterMask, LandMask, and Coastline.
This tool creates coastline, land and water masks within a selected product.
Normally masks are made one mask at a time and enabled independently for each band. This tool
allows the making and configuring of these masks all at one go. Additionally the masks can be
set to enabled (visible) in a bands all at once.
The "Coastline, Land and Water Masks" window is divided into 4 sections. The top section enables the
specification of the Shoreline Source Dataset
and the Super Sampling Factor. This criteria
is used when generating all of the masks. The next 3 sections allow the setting of the parameters
Color,
Transparency, and
Enabled in all Bands
for each mask.
Each of these datasets is a rasterized file whose filename
can be observed in the tooltip when hovering the mouse. If a selection entry is greyed out ("not enabled"),
then it's corresponding file is not installed currently on your system. To install any of these files see ......
The current sources of this data are:
If the resolution of the selected shorelineSourceDataset is greater than the resolution of the currently
loaded product then setting this parameter greater than 1 will be desirable. Something on the order of at least
(productResolution/coastlineSourceDatasetResolution)^2 should be sufficient. The higher the value the slower
the processing time.
The defaults are sufficient for the 1km default shoreline dataset.
Sets the color for the mask in the Mask Manager.
Sets the transparency level for the mask in the Mask Manager.
Applies the masks to all displayed bands.
