Hi Agus,

The readthedoc documentation export is experimental (Rashad did this a while ago), and surely has some unsolved issues for now. If you refer to the official documentation here :

https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook/CookBooksu103.html#x136-6690005.6.7

You will see that the table is right. For instance :

precision

        Float   

Estimated precision of the colocalisation function (in pixels).


mfilter

        Boolean         

Filter points according to geographical or sensor based colocalisation


Regarding the precision parameter documentation, it is used at several steps of the algorithm, as described in the Detailed Description of the application :

"In this mode, the corresponding spatial bin in the second image is estimated using geographical transform or sensor modelling, and is padded according to the user defined *precision*."

"Last, in both modes the application can filter matches whose colocalisation in first image exceed this *precision*."

But we can update the documentation of the parameter if you think this is not clear enough.

Regards,

Julien

Doc on Homologous Point Extraction
http://otbcb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Applications/app_HomologousPointsExtraction.html

is incomplete.
For example, the only information provided on argument mfilter
is that it is a Boolean. No definition, no default value, no example.

Instead, the command line help page is more informative:
"-mfilter              <boolean>        Filter points according to
geographical or sensor based colocalisation  (optional, off by
default)"

although it is not clear if the user has to write "on" or "1" to turn
it on. And it is not clear either what kind of filter (mean filter?)
and which radius

Regarding "precision", there is also no definition in the table (the
information on
Parameter Type is just repeated) but it is later defined as in the
command line help page:

"Estimated precision of the colocalisation function (in pixels).
Estimated precision of the colocalisation function in pixels."

I do not say this definition is wrong, but it is no appropriate. The
definition must
state the role of the argument in the process. In this case, I
understand that the
algorithm searches, for a given point image in1 band1, an homologous point on
image in2 band2 within a radius equal to the value of precision in pixels.
Correct?

Also, what happens if the user sets precision to i.e. 10 and mfilter is off?

Thanks

Agus
