Help in Image Analysis

description: hi all I am a Student.I am working on IDL for Image Analysis.. I Have an Image Got from a Radar(Not from Satellite).I want to Find the Attributes of this Image. I want to Know how i can Cut the Image in Lengthwise and Breadth wise ? When i Cut the Image There is a Main Lobe and Some Sidelobes for the Image. I want to Find the Peak of the Mainlobe .. the width of the Mainlobe at the Half of the Height? and also the Peak of the Sidelobes that are Present. Can anyone Help me in Proceeding Further... thanx in Advance... Bharani

First up, you'll need to know how the data is fomatted in terms of bytes per pixel and, possibly significantly, whether multi-byte data points are big or little endian. Once you've got that sorted, just assign an array big enough for everything in the relevant data type and then you can use REFORM to put it into the size/shape you want. >> From the Converted 2D image i have to find the Attributes.. that means > from a 2D image i have to Find the Attibutes. > > I want to Find the Peak of the Mainlobe .. the width of the Mainlobe at > > the Half of the Height? > and also the Peak of the Sidelobes that are Present. That should be pretty easy with stuff like the iTools image profiler and/or functions like MAX.

You said you have raw data, and a JPEG isn't raw data but a formatted image. With raw data you just have a stream of data bits which you will need to assemble into an image before you can take any measurements from it. If you read a JPEG into IDL or if you read in raw data and reform it into an image, in either case you will have arrays of data values in which you can search for the values you are looking for.

Find out the format of the data points (is it bytes, unsigned 2 byte integers, IEEE floating point or whatever) and allocate an array big enough for the file (i.e., if it's got 10 million byte size data points you'll want data=BYTARR(10000000), if it's 5 million two-byte signed integers you'll want data=INTARR(5000000) and so on). Then use OPENR to open the file for reading and use READU to put the contents of the file in the array (don't forget to CLOSE the data file). Once it's there you have your data in IDL and can start exploring. You may want to use REFORM to make the 1D array you have to start with either 2 or 3 D as appropriate.

description: hi Peter.. Thanx for the Suggestion... I have Read the File(With data) and also i have brought the Data to my Program... I have now the Image as 3D ... and NOw i am working on to get the Image into 2D ... the Method i am trying to is Just as the same u have Suggested... I am Considering only a Small part of the Whole Image and from where i can get the Required attributes... but when i consider the Small part...i think it is really hard for me to spot it as a 2D ... How can i proceed further??

Any 2D array, which is what you have in front of you, can be considered an "image". All you need do to is pull out of the data the rows you are interested in for further analysis: interestingStuff = data[*, 280:320] To display it as an image, you need to byte scale it (and perhaps take the absolute value, since your data is complex). TV, BytScl(Abs(interestingStuff)) Now you are ready to perform any analysis that seems appropriate. Since the dynamic range of this data is fairly small, you might want to stretch the data in some way to view it (or, even, before you analyze it).

I'd try to find the row that had the maximum value in the interesting stuff: dims = Size(interestingStuff, /Dimension) s = Scale_Vector(Abs(interestingStuff), 0, 1) maxVal = Max(s, location) row = location / dims[0] Plot, s[*,row] Now, you can easily find the peak values in this row, etc. Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
