getMosaickingTolerance

public double getMosaickingTolerance()
Returns the Mosaicking Tolerance parameter of this tool . This parameter is when mosaicking takes place, the target and the source pixels do not always line up exactly. When there is a misalignment of pixels, a decision needs to be made whether resampling takes place, or whether the data should be shifted. The mosaicking tolerance controls whether resampling of the pixels take place, or if the pixels should be shifted. if the difference in pixel alignment (of the incoming dataset and the target dataset) is greater than the tolerance, resampling will take place. If the difference in pixel alignment (of the incoming dataset and the target dataset) is less than the tolerance, resampling will not take place (instead, a shift is performed). the unit of tolerance is a pixel; the valid value range is 0 to 0.9999. The maximum a pixel can be shifted is 0.5, so anything you set that is greater than 0.5 will guarantee a shift takes place. A tolerance of zero guarantees resampling, if there is a misalignment in pixels. for example, the source and target pixels have a misalignment of 0.25. If the mosaicking tolerance is set to 0.2, then resampling will take place since the pixel misalignment is greater than the tolerance. If the mosaicking tolerance is set to 0.3, then the pixels will be shifted. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Mosaicking Tolerance
