Fuzzy analysis (SYNTAX)

GISexplorer — Mon, 17 May 2021 10:23:50 GMT

Hi fellow colleagues,

I just have one very basic question about standardizing my raster layer with the following syntax:

(["Layer"] - ["Layer"].minimum) / (["Layer"].maximum - ["Layer"].minimum)

Can someone please explain how this one works?

Thanks for the help!

It rescales the pixel values to 0-1.

Imagine you have a raster with pixel values from 1-10. raster.minimum is 1 raster.maximum is 10.

A pixel with a value of 1 will get rescaled to (1-1) / (10-1) = 0,

2 gets rescaled to (2-1)/(10-1) = 0.111

etc .

10 gets rescaled to (10-1)/(10-1) = 1
