Segmentation Output¶
Segmentation outputs a mask (iris.cube.Cube and in the future xarray.DataArray) with the same dimensions as the input field, where each segmented area has the same ID as its corresponding feature (see feature column in Feature Detection Output). Note that there are some cases in which a feature is not attributed to a segmented area associated with it (see Features without segmented areas).
Segmentation also outputs the same pandas dataframe as obtained by Feature Detection (see Feature Detection Basics) but with one additional column:
| Variable Name | Description | Units | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| ncells | Total number of grid points that belong to the segmented area associated with feature. | n/a | int64 |
