Method Detail

### getIlluminationElevationAngle

    @UML(identifier="illuminationElevationAngle",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Double getIlluminationElevationAngle()

  Illumination elevation measured in degrees clockwise from the target plane at intersection of the optical line of sight with the Earth's surface. For images from a scanning device, refer to the centre pixel of the image.

  Returns:
    A value between -90° and +90°, or `null` if unspecified.

### getIlluminationAzimuthAngle

    @UML(identifier="illuminationAzimuthAngle",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Double getIlluminationAzimuthAngle()

  Illumination azimuth measured in degrees clockwise from true north at the time the image is taken. For images from a scanning device, refer to the centre pixel of the image.

  Returns:
    A value between 0° and 360°, or `null` if unspecified.

### getImagingCondition

    @UML(identifier="imagingCondition",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    ImagingCondition getImagingCondition()

  Conditions affected the image.

### getImageQualityCode

    @UML(identifier="imageQualityCode",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Identifier getImageQualityCode()

  Specifies the image quality.

### getCloudCoverPercentage

    @UML(identifier="cloudCoverPercentage",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Double getCloudCoverPercentage()

  Area of the dataset obscured by clouds, expressed as a percentage of the spatial extent.

  Returns:
    A value between 0 and 100, or `null` if unknown.

### getProcessingLevelCode

    @UML(identifier="processingLevelCode",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Identifier getProcessingLevelCode()

  Image distributor's code that identifies the level of radiometric and geometric processing that has been applied.

         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Integer getCompressionGenerationQuantity()

  Count of the number the number of lossy compression cycles performed on the image. Returns `null` if the information is not provided.

### getTriangulationIndicator

    @UML(identifier="triangulationIndicator",
         obligation=OPTIONAL,
         specification=ISO_19115)
    Boolean getTriangulationIndicator()

  Indication of whether or not triangulation has been performed upon the image. Returns `null` if the information is not provided.
