Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Integer	getBitsPerValue() Maximum number of significant bits in the uncompressed representation for the value in each band of each pixel.
Double	getMaxValue() Longest wavelength that the sensor is capable of collecting within a designated band.
Double	getMinValue() Shortest wavelength that the sensor is capable of collecting within a designated band.
Double	getOffset() The physical value corresponding to a cell value of zero.
Double	getPeakResponse() Wavelength at which the response is the highest.
Double	getScaleFactor() Scale factor which has been applied to the cell value.
Integer	getToneGradation() Number of discrete numerical values in the grid data.
