Project on Layer Copernicus node

Projects a layer onto a target layer.

On this page

Parameters
Inputs
Outputs

This operation will project the source layer onto the target layer. The source layer is treated like a slide projector, and its camera information is used to set the pixels of the target layer.

Parameters ¶

Signature

The layer type that the source accepts.

See Signatures for more information.

Invert Transformation

After computing the proper transform to project the source layer onto the camera reference, invert the transform.

Border

Override the border when rasterizing.

Auto

Use the input border type, unless it is constant, in which case Clip is used.

Constant

Treat the border as zero, with the boundary interpolating to black.

Clamp

Clamp boundary values, streaking them outwards.

Mirror

Reflect along the boundaries.

Wrap

Wrap to the opposite boundary.

Clip

Define an implicit cut off at the boundary without any bleeding of black values.

See Border types for more information.

Filter

The method used to sample the image.

The default value is Box. See Filters for more information.

Inputs ¶

target

The layer to use as the target for the source’s projection.

source

The layer to project onto the target.

Outputs ¶

result

A layer, in the resolution and location of the target, with the pixels set to what the source would project to it.
