Method Detail

getIlluminationElevationAngle

@UML(identifier="illuminationElevationAngle",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Double getIlluminationElevationAngle()

Illumination elevation measured in degrees clockwise from the target plane at intersection of the optical line of sight with the Earth's surface. For images from a scanning device, refer to the centre pixel of the image.

Returns:

a value between -90° and +90°, or null if unspecified.

getIlluminationAzimuthAngle

@UML(identifier="illuminationAzimuthAngle",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Double getIlluminationAzimuthAngle()

Illumination azimuth measured in degrees clockwise from true north at the time the image is taken. For images from a scanning device, refer to the centre pixel of the image.

Returns:

a value between 0° and 360°, or null if unspecified.

getImagingCondition

@UML(identifier="imagingCondition",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default ImagingCondition getImagingCondition()

Conditions which affected the image.

Returns:

conditions which affected the image, or null if unspecified.

getImageQualityCode

@UML(identifier="imageQualityCode",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Identifier getImageQualityCode()

Code in producer’s codespace that specifies the image quality.

Returns:

the image quality, or null if unspecified.

getCloudCoverPercentage

@UML(identifier="cloudCoverPercentage",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Double getCloudCoverPercentage()

Area of the dataset obscured by clouds, expressed as a percentage of the spatial extent.

Returns:

a value between 0 and 100, or null if unspecified.

getCompressionGenerationQuantity

@UML(identifier="compressionGenerationQuantity",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Integer getCompressionGenerationQuantity()

Count of the number of lossy compression cycles performed on the image. Returns null if the information is not provided.

Returns:

the number of lossy compression cycles performed on the image, or null if unspecified.

getTriangulationIndicator

@UML(identifier="triangulationIndicator",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean getTriangulationIndicator()

Indication of whether or not triangulation has been performed upon the image. Returns null if the information is not provided.

Returns:

whether or not triangulation has been performed upon the image, or null if unspecified.

isRadiometricCalibrationDataAvailable

@UML(identifier="radiometricCalibrationDataAvailability",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean isRadiometricCalibrationDataAvailable()

Indication of whether or not the radiometric calibration information for generating the radiometrically calibrated standard data product is available.

Returns:

whether or not the radiometric calibration information is available, or null if unspecified.

isCameraCalibrationInformationAvailable

@UML(identifier="cameraCalibrationInformationAvailability",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean isCameraCalibrationInformationAvailable()

Indication of whether or not constants are available which allow for camera calibration corrections.

Returns:

whether or not constants are available for camera calibration corrections, or null if unspecified.

isFilmDistortionInformationAvailable

@UML(identifier="filmDistortionInformationAvailability",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean isFilmDistortionInformationAvailable()

Indication of whether or not Calibration Reseau information is available.

Returns:

whether or not Calibration Reseau information is available, or null if unspecified.

isLensDistortionInformationAvailable

@UML(identifier="lensDistortionInformationAvailability",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean isLensDistortionInformationAvailable()

Indication of whether or not lens aberration correction information is available.
