Syntax

BandCollectionStats (in_raster_bands, out_stat_file, {compute_matrices})
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster_bands
[in_raster_band,...]

The input raster bands.

Raster Layer
out_stat_file

The output ASCII file containing the statistics.

A .txt extension is required.

File
compute_matrices
(Optional)

Specifies whether covariance and correlation matrices are calculated.

  • BRIEF Only the basic statistical measures (minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation) will be calculated for every layer. This is the default.
  • DETAILED In addition to the standard statistics calculated with {BRIEF}, the covariance and correlation matrices will also be determined.
Boolean
