arcgis.raster.functions module

Raster functions allow you to define processing operations that will be applied to one or more rasters. These functions are applied to the raster data on the fly as the data is accessed and viewed; therefore, they can be applied quickly without having to endure the time it would otherwise take to create a processed product on disk, for which raster analytics tools like generate_raster() can be used.

Functions can be applied to various rasters (or images), including the following:

Imagery layers
Rasters within imagery layers

aggregate_cells

arcgis.raster.functions.aggregate_cells(raster, cell_factor=2, aggregation_type=9, extent_handling=False, ignore_nodata=False)

Generates a reduced-resolution version of a raster.

The arguments for this function are as follows:

Parameter	Description
raster	Required input `Raster` / `ImageryLayer` object.
cell_factor	Optional int. The factor by which to multiply the cell size of the input raster to obtain the desired resolution for the output raster. For example, a cell factor value of three would result in an output cell size three times larger than that of the input raster. The value must be an integer greater than 1.
aggregation_type	Optional int. Establishes how the value for each output cell will be determined. The values of the input cells encompassed by the coarser output cell are aggregated by one of the following statistics: 2 (MAXIMUM) : The largest value of the input cells. 3 (MEAN) : The average value of the input cells. 4 (MEDIAN) : The median value of the input cells. 5 (MINIMUM) : The smallest value of the input cells. 9 (SUM) : The sum (total) of the input cell values.This is the default.
extent_handling	Optional boolean. Defines how to handle the boundaries of the input raster when its rows or columns are not a multiple of the cell factor. True : Expands the top or right boundaries of the input raster so the total number of cells in a row or column is a multiple of the cell factor. Those expanded cells are given a value of NoData. With this option, the output raster can cover a larger spatial extent than the input raster. This is the default. False : Reduces the number of rows or columns in the output raster by 1. This will truncate the remaining cells on the top or right boundaries of the input raster, making the number of rows or columns in the input raster a multiple of the cell factor. With this option, the output raster can cover a smaller spatial extent than the input raster.
ignore_nodata	Optional boolean. Denotes whether NoData values are ignored by the aggregation calculation. True : Specifies that if NoData values exist for any of the cells that fall within the spatial extent of a larger cell on the output raster, the NoData values will be ignored when determining the value for output cell locations. Only input cells within the extent of the output cell that have data values will be used in determining the value of the output cell. False : Specifies that if any cell that falls within the spatial extent of a larger cell on the output raster has a value of NoData, the value for that output cell location will be NoData.When the this option is used, it is implied that when cells within an aggregation contain the NoData value, there is insufficient information to perform the specified calculations necessary to determine an output value. This is the default.

Returns: The output raster with the function applied.

scale_factor	Optional int. Your apparent reflectance output value can be expressed as an integer. The scaling factor is multiplied by the albedo to convert all floating-point values into integer values.

The dimensional_moving_statistics function calculates statistics over a moving window on multidimensional data along a specified dimension.

Note

This raster function does not support on the fly rendering and can only be used to generate persisted output. To persist the output use the save() method on the resulting layer.

The arguments for this function are as follows:

Parameter	Description
raster	Required multidimensional `Raster` / `ImageryLayer` object.
dimension	Optional string. The name of the dimension along which the window will move. The default value is the first dimension other than x,y found in the input multidimensional raster.
backward_window	Optional integer. The value of how many slices before or above to be included in the defined window. The value must be a positive integer from 1 to 100. The default value is 1. The unit of this parameter is slice.
forward_window	Optional integer. The value of how many slices after or below to be included in the defined window. The value must be a positive integer from 1 to 100. The default value is 1. The unit of this parameter is slice.
nodata_handling	Optional string. Specifies how NoData values will be handled by the statistic calculation. DATA - NoData values in the value input will be ignored in the results of the defined window that they fall within. This is the default. NODATA - Output values will be NoData if any NoData values are found in the input within the defined window. FILL_NODATA - NoData cell values will be replaced using the selected statistic on the values within the defined window.
statistics_type	Optional string. Statistic type to be calculated. MEAN - The mean (average value) of the cells in the defined window will be calculated. This is the default. CIRCULAR_MEAN - The circular mean (average value) of the cells in the window will be calculated. When this statistics type is elected, use the `circular_wrap_value` parameter to designate a wrap value to use. MAJORITY - The majority (value that occurs most often) of the cells in the defined window will be identified. MAXIMUM - The maximum (largest value) of the cells in the defined window will be identified. MEDIAN - The median of the cells in the defined window will be identified. MINIMUM - The minimum (smallest value) of the cells in the defined window will be identified. PERCENTILE - A percentile of the cells in the defined window will be calculated. When this statistics_type is selected, the `percentile_value` and `percentile_interpolation_type` parameters become available. Use these new parameters to designate the percentile to calculate and choose the interpolation type to use, respectively.
percentile_value	Optional float. The percentile value that will be calculated. The default is 90, for the 90th percentile. The value can range from 0 to 100. The 0th percentile is essentially equivalent to the minimum statistic, and the 100th percentile is equivalent to the maximum statistic. A value of 50 will produce essentially the same result as the median statistic. This parameter is only supported if the `statistics_type` parameter is set to PERCENTILE.
percentile_interpolation_type	Optional string. Specifies the method of interpolation to be used when the specified percentile value lies between two input cell values. AUTO_DETECT - If the input value raster has integer pixel type, the NEAREST method is used. If the input value raster has floating point pixel type, then the LINEAR method is used. This is the default. NEAREST - Nearest value to the desired percentile. In this case, the output pixel type is same as that of the input value raster. LINEAR - Weighted average of two surrounding values from the desired percentile. In this case, the output pixel type is floating point. This parameter is only supported if the `statistics_type` parameter is set to MEDIAN or PERCENTILE.
circular_wrap_value	Optional float. The value that will be used to round a linear value to the range of a given circular mean. Its value must be positive. The default value is 360 degrees. This parameter is only supported if the `statistics_type` parameter is set to CIRCULAR_MEAN.

Returns: The output raster with the function applied.

Note

The focal_stats() function is different from the focal_statistics() function in the following aspects:

The focal_stats() function supports Mean, Majority, Maximum, Median, Minimum, Minority, Percentile, Range, Standard deviation, Sum, and Variety. The focal_statistics() function supports only Minimum, Maximum, Mean, and Standard Deviation.

The focal_stats() function supports Rectangle, Circle, Annulus, Wedge, Irregular, and Weight neighborhoods. The focal_statistics() function supports only Rectangle.

The option to determine whether NoData values are ignored or not is available in the focal_stats() function by setting a boolean value for ignore_no_data param. This option is not present in the focal_statistics() function.

The option to determine if NoData pixels are to be processed out is available in the focal_statistics() function by setting a boolean value for fill_no_data_only param. This option is not present in the focal_stats() function.

To persist the output give the output of the landtrendr_analysis function as input to the detect_change_using_change_analysis_raster() method and use the save() method on the resulting layer.

Parameter	Description
raster	Required `Raster` / `ImageryLayer` object. The input multidimensional raster.

snapping_date	Optional string. The date used to select a slice for each year in the input multidimensional dataset. The slice with the date closest to the snapping date will be selected. This parameter is required if the input dataset contains sub-yearly data. The default is “06-30” (or June 30), approximately midway through a calendar year. Example: “06-30”
max_num_segments	Optional integer. The maximum number of segments to be fitted to the time series for each pixel. The default is 5. Example: 5
vertex_count_overshoot	Optional integer. The number of additional vertices beyond max_num_segments + 1 that can be used to fit the model during the initial stage of identifying vertices. Later in the modeling process, the number of additional vertices will be reduced to max_num_segments + 1. The default is 2. Example: 2

During the model selection process, the tool will calculate the p-value for each model and select a model that has the most vertices while maintaining the smallest (most significant) p-value based on this proportion value. A value of 1 means the model has the lowest p-value but may not have a high number of vertices. The default is 1.25. Example: 1.25
pvalue_threshold	Optional float. The p-value threshold for a model to be selected. After the vertices are detected in the initial stage of the model fitting, the tool will fit each segment and calculate the p-value to determine the significance of the model. On the next iteration, the model will decrease the number of segments by one and recalculate the p-value. This will continue and, if the p-value is smaller than the value specified in this parameter, the model will be selected and the tool will stop searching for a better model.

Larger values result in broad classes and more smoothing. A lower value is appropriate for discriminating between features that are spatially small and clustered together.
min_num_pixels_per_segment	Optional integer. The minimum segment size, measured in pixels. This value is related to your minimum mapping unit, and will filter out smaller blocks of pixels.

True : The segment boundaries are displayed with black contour lines around each segment. False : The segment boundaries are not displayed. This is the default.
max_num_pixels_per_segment	Optional integer. The maximum size of a segment. Segments that are larger than the specified size will be divided. Use this parameter to prevent artifacts in the output layer resulting from large segments. `max_num_pixels_per_segment` must be greater than `min_num_pixels_per_segment` when it is a positive integer. The default is -1.
