EPR_EDataTypeId data_type
 The data type of the band's pixel values.

 The geophysical unit for the band's pixel values.
char * description
 A short description of the band's contents.
epr_boolean lines_mirrored
 If true (=1) lines will be mirrored (flipped) after read into a raster in order to ensure a pixel ordering in raster X direction from WEST to EAST.

Detailed Description

The EPR_BandId structure contains information about a band within an ENVISAT product file which has been opened with the epr_open_product() API function.

A new EPR_BandId instance can be obtained with the epr_get_band_id() API function.

Field Documentation

The magic number for this structure.

IMPORTANT: This must always be the first member of this structure.

The ID of the product to which this band belongs to.

The name as presented to the user in a band selection dialog (also known as spectral subset).

The (zero-based) spectral band index.

-1 if this is not a spectral band.

The reference of the source dataset containing the raw data used to create the band's pixel values.

The external format used in the DDDB is MDS-name.field, where field is a one-based index (field=1 corresponds to the first field)

The sample model operation applied to the source dataset for getting the correct samples from the MDS (for example MERIS L2).

Possible values are:

  • * --> no operation (direct copy)
  • 1OF2 --> first byte of 2-byte interleaved MDS
  • 2OF2 --> second byte of 2-byte interleaved MDS
  • 0123 --> combine 3-bytes interleaved to 4-byte integer

The data type of the band's pixel values.

Possible values are:

  • * --> the datatype remains unchanged.
  • uint8_t --> 8-bit unsigned integer
  • uint32_t --> 32-bit unsigned integer
  • Float --> 32-bit IEEE floating point

The scaling method which must be applied to the raw source data in order to get the 'real' pixel values in geo-physical units.

Possible values are:

  • * --> no scaling applied
  • Linear_Scale --> linear scaling applied: y = offset + scale * x
  • Log_Scale --> logarithmic scaling applied: y = log10(offset + scale * x)

The scaling offset.

Possible values are:

  • * --> no offset provided (implies scaling_method=*)
  • const --> a floating point constant
  • GADS.field[.field2] --> value is provided in global annotation dataset with name GADS in field field. Optionally a second element index for multiple-element fields can be given too

The scaling factor.

Possible values are:

  • * --> no factor provided (implies scaling_method=*)
  • const --> a floating point constant
  • GADS.field[.field2] --> value is provided in global annotation dataset with name GADS in field field. Optionally a second element index for multiple-element fields can be given too

A bit-mask expression used to filter valid pixels.

All others are set to zero.

EPR_SPtrArray* EPR_BandId::flag_coding

The flag coding is a list of EPR_SFlag instances.

It determines each of the flags used in this band (= flags dataset). Each flag has a name, a bit-index and a description.

The geophysical unit for the band's pixel values.

A short description of the band's contents.

If true (=1) lines will be mirrored (flipped) after read into a raster in order to ensure a pixel ordering in raster X direction from WEST to EAST.
