Help for TIMSPIX2
TIMSPIX is a procedure designed to process TIMS picture products
in a throughput manner. There are seven possible outputs from
this procedure: a calibrated, band-interleaved (BIL), halfword-format
image file, 3 D-stretched, panorama-corrected byte-format image files,
and 3 playback versions of the D-stretched files.
The user must submit the name (NAME parameter) that is the root of the
PIX and AUX files. That is, if the starting datasets are MONO3.PIX and
MONO3.AUX, the NAME parameter must be "MONO3". If the user
The user has the option of calibrating the TIMS imagery or performing
the D-stretch processing on the raw data. The default is to perform the
calibration: this produces the BIL .IRAD file for storage in the TIMSBSQ
tape library. The calibrated, halfword data is fit to byte format prior
to the D-stretch; the user may specify the region of the image used to
calculate the statistics for the stretch. The default is to use the
entire image.
The user may specify up to 10 subareas for use as training sites for
the D-stretch procedure. The default is to use the enitre image as the
source for the statistics.
The user may also specify the strip length used to create the playback
image. If no stripping is desired, the strip length should be set to the
number of scanlines in the flightline. The default is set at 3500 lines
per strip.
