Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Mosaic Dataset | The mosaic dataset that will be color balanced. | Mosaic Layer |
Balance Method (Optional) | Specifies the balancing method that will be used.
| String |
Color Surface Type (Optional) | Specifies how the target color of each pixel will be determined. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Dodging.
| String |
Target Raster (Optional) | The raster that will be used to color balance the other images. The balance method and color surface type, if applicable, will be derived from this image. | Raster Dataset; Raster Layer; Internet Tiled Layer; Map Server Layer |
Exclude Area Raster (Optional) | A raster that identifies the locations that will be excluded. Create a mask using the Generate Exclude Area tool. | Raster Layer |
Stretch Type (Optional) | Specifies how the range of values will be stretched before color balancing.
| String |
Gamma (Optional) | A numeric value that will adjust the overall brightness of an image. A low value will minimize the contrast between moderate values by making them appear darker. Higher values will increase the contrast by making them appear brighter. | Double |
Block Field
(Optional) | A field in the mosaic dataset's attribute table that will be used to identify items that will be considered one item when performing some calculations and operations. | String |
DEM Raster
(Optional) | A DEM to help estimate the overlapped locations in the mosaic dataset. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Global Fit. | Raster Dataset; Raster Layer; Mosaic Dataset; Mosaic Layer |
Z Factor (Optional) | A conversion factor that adjusts the units of measure for the vertical (or elevation) units when they are different from the horizontal coordinate (x,y) units of the input surface DEM. It is the number of ground x,y units in one surface z-unit. If the vertical units are meters, set the parameter to 1. If the vertical units are feet, set the parameter to 0.3048. If any other vertical units are used, use this parameter to scale the units to meters. This parameter is active when the DEM Raster parameter is specified. | Double |
Z Offset (Optional) | A base value that will be added to the elevation value in the DEM. This can be used to offset elevation values that do not start at sea level. This parameter is active when the DEM Raster parameter is specified. | Double |
Apply Geoid Correction
(Optional) | Specifies whether the geoid correction required by rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) that reference ellipsoidal heights will be made. Most elevation datasets are referenced to sea level orthometric heights, so this correction is required in these cases to convert to ellipsoidal heights. This parameter is active when the DEM Raster parameter is specified.
| Boolean |
Input Solution Points (Optional) | The solution points from block adjustment output to help accurately estimate the overlapped locations. This parameter is helpful when the image has less than 50 percent overlap with its neighbors. Using this parameter will increase the computation time, so for the ordinary mosaic dataset with good overlaps, you can leave this parameter unspecified. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Global Fit. | Table View |
Target Raster Object ID (Optional) | The target raster object ID that will be used to color balance the other images. The balance method and color surface type, if applicable, will be derived from this image. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Global Fit. | Long |
Refine Estimation by Correlation
(Optional) | Specifies whether the color balancing estimation for corresponding locations in the overlapped areas will be refined using image correlation. This parameter is helpful for the exact color difference correction but will increase the computation time. If you have a mosaic dataset composed of a large number of images, uncheck this parameter to reduce the computation time. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Global Fit.
| Boolean |
Reduce Shadow Influence
(Optional) | Specifies whether the negative influence of shadows on the color balance output will be reduced. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Global Fit.
| Boolean |
Reduce Cloud Influence
(Optional) | Specifies whether the negative influence of clouds on the color balance output will be reduced. This parameter is active when the Balance Method parameter is set to Dodging or Global Fit.
| Boolean |
