I need to change the Pixel Values of a raster. The problem is, that I cannot hardcode the new values as I have to work with hundreds of rasters that each have their own mapping table. Is there a way to do this?
Question
Change Raster Pixel Color using a MappingTable?

Hi @kath, how large is the maximum number of possible colors per a raster? If it's not so large, palette operations might be useful. And I would like to know the schema of the mapping table. Can you post a sample of the table?
Hi Takashi, there will be about 150 values in the mapping table. Per raster there will be 10-20 in use, but technically it might be all 150 values.
The mapping table is generated on the fly using FeatureMerger, having two columns, "LocalValue" and "MasterValue" with integer values from 1 to 256.
I'm trying to use a workaround at th moment: RasterCellCoercer - FeatureMerger (with the mapping table) - FeatureColorSetter - ImagerRasterizer right now. This looks possible to me but takes up loads of time. I would like to stay with the raster if possible.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, the RasterCellCoercer does the trick but it's inefficient. I'm unclear the raster interpretation. 3-Band RGB? or 1-Band Gray Scale? How do you map an integer value to a color value (r,g,b)?
The raster is 1 Band Greyscale. (GRAY8)
How do you map an integer value to a color value (r,g,b)?
I didn't figure this bit out yet. If you've got an idea, this would be helpfull.

My workaround is running now: I'm just creating an attribute: "MasterValue,MasterValue,MasterValue", feed the FeatureColorSetter with it, and then run the ImageRasterizer.
Even though this does work, it is much too slow for what i'm trying to archieve. So if you know a way to get there without using vector data in between, this would be great.
OK, my intention is: generate GRAY8 palette from the input raster, modify it based on the mapping table, and then apply it to the raster. A palette can be defined by a table consisting of pairs of key value and color value. See the help on the RasterPaletteExtractor transformer to learn more about palette definition.
Probably this workflow works.
