Add option to set a mask layer in the "Predict classification" tool and in the Advanced Classification workflow

Closed this issue · 2 comments

In the older versions of EnMAP-Box there was an option to set a mask layer from a vector file when using the Predict classification tool. It was very useful but in v3.14.3 it is not available.

Having a mask applied before processing is potentially useful for many other algorithms as well.
However, we decided to not have such a mask parameter in all the algorithms as input.
We see masking as a preprocessing step, similar to spatial subsetting and band subsetting etc.
You can use this algorithm for applying a mask to a raster:
image
Afterwards, you can use the masked raster layer as input for the "Predict classification" algorithm.

I understand, that this is not as convenient as before.
To make raster masking more convinient, I would propose a shortcut "Apply mask" here:
