1 Parenthesised number: especially relevant segmentation parameters; 2 Specification heavily depends on system resources, parti­cularly main memory; 3 Specifications for the used imagery (2,000 by 2,000 Pixel); 4 When image size is modified; 5 With GDAL-plug-in installed other formats useable, e. g. GeoTIFF, IMG
