Raster Domain

Raster Domain Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolset, 3D Analyst Toolbox


Raster Domain

Constructs a 3D polygon or polyline delineating the height along the boundary of a raster surface.

1.    Input Raster

The raster to process.

2.    Output Feature Class

The feature class that will be produced by this tool.

3.    Output Feature Class Type

The geometry of the output feature class.

· LINE—The output will be a z-enabled line feature class.

· POLYGON—The output will be a z-enabled polygon feature class.

Raster to Multipoint

Converts raster cell centers into 3D multipoint features whose Z values reflect the raster cell value.

1.    Input Raster

The raster to process.

2.    Output Feature Class

The feature class that will be produced by this tool.

3.    Output VIP table (optional)

The histogram table to be produced when VIP Histogram is specified for the Method parameter.

4.    Method (optional)

The thinning method applied to the input raster to select a subset of cells that will be exported to the multipoint feature class.

· NO_THIN—No thinning will be applied. This is the default.

· ZTOLERANCE <value>—Only exports the cells that are required for maintaining a surface within the specified Z-range of the input raster. The corresponding value reflects the maximum allowable difference in z units between the input raster and the surface created from the output multipoint feature class. When selecting this method, the thinning value defaults to one tenth of the z range of the input raster.

· KERNEL <value>—Divides the raster into equal sized tiles based on the thinning value, then selects one or two cells which meet the criteria defined by the designated kernel method. The corresponding value defaults to 3, which means the raster would be divided into 3 cell by 3 cell windows.

· VIP <value>—Employs a roving 3 cell by 3 cell window that is used to create a 3-dimensional best fit plane. Each cell is given a significance score based on its absolute deviation from this plane. A histogram of these scores is then used to determine the cells that get exported. The corresponding value reflects the percentile rank along the histogram of significance scores. This value defaults to 5.0, which means the cells whose score was within the top 5% of the histogram will be exported.

· VIP_HISTOGRAM—Creates a table to view the actual significance values and the corresponding number of points associated with those values.

5.    Kernel Method (optional)

The selection method used within each kernel neighborhood when kernel thinning is applied on the input raster.

· MIN—A point is created at the cell with the smallest elevation value found in the kernel neighborhood. This is the default.

· MAX—A point is created at the cell with the largest elevation value found in the kernel neighborhood.

· MINMAX—Two points are created at the cells with the smallest and largest Z values found in the kernel neighborhood.

· MEAN—A point is created at the cell whose elevation value is closest to the average of the cells in the kernel neighborhood.

6.    Z Factor (optional)

The factor by which z-values will be multiplied. This is typically used to convert Z linear units to match XY linear units. The default is 1, which leaves elevation values unchanged. This parameter is disabled if the spatial reference of the input surface has a Z datum with a specified linear unit.

Raster to TIN

Converts a raster to a triangulated irregular network (TIN) dataset.

1.    Input Raster

The raster to process.

2.    Output TIN

The TIN dataset that will be generated.

3.    Z Tolerance (optional)

The maximum allowable difference in (z units) between the height of the input raster and the height of the output TIN. By default, the z tolerance is 1/10 of the z range of the input raster.

4.    Maximum Number of Points (optional)

The maximum number of points that will be added to the TIN before the process is terminated. By default, the process will continue until all the points are added.

5.    Z Factor (optional)

The factor that the height values of the raster will be multiplied by in the resulting TIN dataset. This is typically used to convert Z units to match XY units.
