This tool can be used to find the maximum absolute (non-negative) value in each cell of a grid from a set of input images. It is found within the Overlay and Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) toolbox.
NoData values in any of the input images will result in a NoData pixel in the output image. The output raster is of the float data type and continuous data scale.
The following is an example of a Python script using this tool:
wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
# You may have multiple input files but they must
# be separated by semicolons in the string.
inputFiles = wd + "input1.dep" + ";" + wd + "input2.dep" + ";" + wd + "input3.dep"
outputFile = wd + "output.dep"
args = [inputFiles, outputFile]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MaxAbsOverlay", args, False)
This is a Groovy script also using this tool:
def wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
// You may have multiple input files but they must
// be separated by semicolons in the string.
def inputFiles = wd + "input1.dep" + ";" + wd + "input2.dep" + ";" + wd + "input3.dep"
def outputFile = wd + "output.dep"
String[] args = [inputFiles, outputFile]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MaxAbsOverlay", args, false)
