public abstract class Operator extends Object
The abstract base class for all operators intended to be extended by clients.

The following methods are intended to be implemented or overridden:

Generally, only one computeTile method needs to be implemented. It depends on the type of algorithm which of both operations is most advantageous to implement:

  1. If bands can be computed independently of each other, then it is beneficial to implement the computeTile() method. This is the case for sub-sampling, map-projections, band arithmetic, band filtering and statistic analyses.
  2. computeTileStack() should be overridden in cases where the bands of a product cannot be computed independently, e.g. because they are a simultaneous output. This is often the case for algorithms based on neural network, cluster analyses, model inversion methods or spectral unmixing.

For information on how to best implement the computeTile() or computeTileStack() method please read also the Tile documentation.

The framework execute either the computeTile() or the computeTileStack() method based on the current use case or request. If tiles for single bands are requested, e.g. for image display, it will always prefer an implementation of the computeTile() method and call it. If all tiles are requested at once, e.g. writing a product to disk, it will attempt to use the computeTileStack() method. If the framework cannot use its preferred operation, it will use the one implemented by the operator.

      Sets the operator parameters to their default values, if any.
    • finalize

      protected final void finalize() throws Throwable
      Overridden in order to force a call to dispose(), if not already done.

      Throwable - The Exception raised by this method
    • initialize

      public abstract void initialize() throws OperatorException
      Initializes this operator and sets the one and only target product.

      The target product can be either defined by a field of type Product annotated with the TargetProduct annotation or by calling setTargetProduct(org.esa.snap.core.datamodel.Product) method.

      This method shall never be called directly. The framework calls this method after it has created an instance of this Operator. This will occur only once durting the lifetime of an Operator instance. If not already done, calling the getTargetProduct() will always trigger a call to the initialize() method.

      Any client code that must be performed before computation of tile data should be placed here.

      Throws:
      OperatorException - If an error occurs during operator initialisation.
      See Also:
    • update

      public final void update()
      Updates this operator forcing it to recreate the target product.
    • execute

      public final void execute(ProgressMonitor pm)
      Executes the operator.

      Call this method to execute an operator that doesn't compute raster data tiles on its own.

      Parameters:
      pm - A progress monitor to be notified for long-running tasks.
    • doExecute

      public void doExecute(ProgressMonitor pm) throws OperatorException
      Executes the operator.

      For operators that compute raster data tiles, the method is usually a no-op. Other operators might perform their main work in this method, e.g. perform some image analysis such as extracting statistics and other features from data products.

      Don't call this method directly. The framework may call this method

      1. once before the very first tile is computed, or
      2. as a result of a call to execute(ProgressMonitor).

      The default implementation only progresses the progress monitor.

      Parameters:
      pm - A progress monitor to be notified for long-running tasks.
      Throws:
      OperatorException - If an error occurs during computation of the target raster.

      This method shall never be called directly.

      Parameters:

      Called by the framework in order to compute the stack of tiles for the given target bands.

      public void dispose()
      Releases the resources the operator has acquired during its lifetime. The default implementation does nothing.

      Overrides should make sure to call super.dispose() as well.

      public boolean canComputeTile()
