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.

  • 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.

The output raster with the function applied.

  • False - The function returns apparent reflectance values. This is the default.

  • True - The function returns 32-bit floating-point values, which most commonly are in the range of 0.0 to 1.0. No data clipping is performed if this option is selected.

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.

For 16-bit unsigned data types, the default scale factor is 50,000.

For 8-bit unsigned data types, default scale factor is 255.

The scaling factor is always applied when the output is apparent reflectance. No scaling is applied when the output is albedo.

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.

max_num_pixels_per_segment

Optional integer. The maximum size of a segment. Segments that are larger than the specified size will be divided.
