−	In addition to the mentioned standard attributes, external data layers can be integrated into the process of feature calculation. For the integration basically every available dataset in raster form is suitable. In the integration within every layer and for every cell a mean value is calculated and finally added to the feature table. This means that features from additional data layers are treated equivalent to the raster layers selected at the [[ILMSimage_2.4_Project_Settings \| begin of the project]], the only difference being that additional data layers do not influence cell creation. This function is therefore suitable for integrating additional multispectral levels (or combinations of these) which are required as attributes for additional analysis but not for a derivation of analysis areas, i.e. cells, into the work process. A simple example is the ''[http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/MeasuringVegetation/measuring_vegetation_2.php Normalized Vegetation Difference Index, NDVI]'' which is a measure for vegetation activity. It can be calculated using two channels which are in the visual field and in the close infrared field of the electromagnetic spectrum. As additional data layer a pixel-based NDVI picture is available. The following image shows areas of high vegetation activity in bright and areas of low activity in dark ~~greylevels~~.	+	In addition to the mentioned standard attributes, external data layers can be integrated into the process of feature calculation.
