Creating a Convolution function dataset
To create a Convolution function dataset, follow these steps:
- Create the Function Arguments object.
- Set the filter to apply.
- Create a Raster Function object.
- Create a Function Raster Dataset object.
- Create a name object for the function raster dataset.
- Specify the output file name for the new dataset.
- Initialize the new function raster dataset with the raster function and its arguments.
The following code example shows how to create a Convolution function raster dataset by applying the convolution raster function to an image:
[C#]
// Create the Function Arguments object.
IConvolutionFunctionArguments rasterFunctionArguments =
(IConvolutionFunctionArguments)new ConvolutionFunctionArguments();
// Set the filter to apply (Sharpen in this case).
rasterFunctionArguments.Type = esriRasterFilterTypeEnum.esriRasterFilterSharpen;
// The input data can be of type IRasterDataset, IRasterBand, or IRaster.
rasterFunctionArguments.Raster = inputData;
// Create the Raster Function object.
IRasterFunction rasterFunction = new ConvolutionFunction();
// Create the Function Raster Dataset object.
IFunctionRasterDataset functionRasterDataset = new FunctionRasterDataset();
// Create a name object for the Function Raster Dataset.
IFunctionRasterDatasetName functionRasterDatasetName = (IFunctionRasterDatasetName)
new FunctionRasterDatasetName();
// Specify the output file name for the new dataset (including the .afr extension at the end).
functionRasterDatasetName.FullName = @"c:\temp\Convolution.afr";
functionRasterDataset.FullName = (IName)functionRasterDatasetName;
// Initialize the new Function Raster Dataset with the Raster Function and its arguments.
functionRasterDataset.Init(rasterFunction, rasterFunctionArguments);
[VB.NET]
' Create the Function Arguments object.
Dim rasterFunctionArguments As IConvolutionFunctionArguments
rasterFunctionArguments = New ConvolutionFunctionArguments()
' Set the filter to apply (Sharpen in this case).
rasterFunctionArguments.Type = esriRasterFilterTypeEnum.esriRasterFilterSharpen
' The input data can be of type IRasterDataset, IRasterBand, or IRaster.
rasterFunctionArguments.Raster = inputData
' Create the Raster Function object.
Dim rasterFunction As IRasterFunction
rasterFunction = New ConvolutionFunction()
' Create the Function Raster Dataset object.
Dim functionRasterDataset As IFunctionRasterDataset
functionRasterDataset = New FunctionRasterDataset()
' Create a name object for the Function Raster Dataset.
Dim functionRasterDatasetName As IFunctionRasterDatasetName
functionRasterDatasetName = New FunctionRasterDatasetName()
' Specify the output file name for the new dataset (including the .afr extension at the end).
functionRasterDatasetName.FullName = "c:\temp\Convolution.afr"
functionRasterDataset.FullName = functionRasterDatasetName
' Initialize the new Function Raster Dataset with the Raster Function and its arguments.
functionRasterDataset.Init(rasterFunction, rasterFunctionArguments)
