Reorients the raster by turning it over, from top to bottom, along the horizontal axis through the center of the raster. This may be useful to correct raster datasets that are upside down.

1.    Input Raster

2.    Output Raster Dataset

Output raster dataset.

When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension:

1. .bil—Esri BIL
2. .bip—Esri BIP
3. .bmp—BMP
4. .bsq—Esri BSQ
5. .dat—ENVI DAT
6. .gif—GIF

14. No extension for Esri Grid

When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset.

When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, a TIFF file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the geoprocessing Environments.

Project Raster

Transforms a raster from one projection to another.

1.    Input Raster

The raster dataset that will be transformed into a new projection.

2.    Input Coordinate System (optional)

The coordinate system of the input raster dataset.

3.    Output Raster Dataset

The raster dataset with the new projection that will be created.

4.    Output Coordinate System

The coordinate system for the new raster dataset.

5.    Vertical (optional)

Performs a vertical transformation.

This option is active when the input and output coordinate systems have a vertical coordinate system, and the input raster's coordinates have z-values.

When Vertical is checked, the Geographic Transformation parameter can include ellipsoidal transformations and transformations between vertical datums. For example, “~NAD_1983_To_NAVD88_CONUS_GEOID12B_Height + NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1” transforms geometry vertices that are defined on NAD 1983 datum with NAVD 1988 heights into vertices on the WGS 1984 ellipsoid (with z-values representing ellipsoidal heights). The tilde (~) indicates reversed direction of transformation.

1. Unchecked—The z-values of geometry coordinates will be ignored. The z-values will be left unmodified. This is the default.
2. Checked—Applies the transformation specified in the Geographic Transformation parameter. The Project Raster tool transforms x-, y-, and z-values of geometry coordinates.

Many vertical transformations require additional data files that must be installed using the ArcGIS Coordinate Systems Data installation package.

6.    Geographic Transformation (optional)

Specifies the geographic transformation when projecting from one geographic system or datum to another. A transformation is required when the input and output coordinate systems have different datums.

For information on each supported geographic (datum) transformation, see geographic_transformations.pdf, located in <install location>\ArcGIS\Desktop10.<version>\Documentation.

7.    Resampling Technique (optional)

The resampling algorithm to be used. The default is NEAREST.

1. NEAREST— Nearest neighbor is the fastest resampling method; it minimizes changes to pixel values since no new values are created. It is suitable for discrete data, such as land cover.
2. BILINEAR— Bilinear interpolation calculates the value of each pixel by averaging (weighted for distance) the values of the surrounding four pixels. It is suitable for continuous data.
3. CUBIC— Cubic convolution calculates the value of each pixel by fitting a smooth curve based on the surrounding 16 pixels. This produces the smoothest image but can create values outside of the range found in the source data. It is suitable for continuous data.
4. MAJORITY—Majority resampling determines the value of each pixel based on the most popular value in a 3 by 3 window. Suitable for discrete data.

The NEAREST and MAJORITY options are used for categorical data, such as a land-use classification. The NEAREST option is the default since it is the quickest and also because it will not change the cell values. Do not use either of these for continuous data, such as elevation surfaces.

The BILINEAR option and the CUBIC option are most appropriate for continuous data. It is recommended that neither of these be used with categorical data because the cell values may be altered.

8.    Output Cell Size (optional)

Determines the cell size of the new raster using an existing raster dataset or specify its width (x) and height (y).

9.    Registration Point (optional)

Specifies the lower-left point for anchoring the output cells. This point does not have to be a corner coordinate or even fall within the raster dataset.

The Snap Raster environment setting will take priority over the Registration Point parameter. If you want to set the registration point, make sure that Snap Raster is not set.

Register Raster

How to Register Raster Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Register Raster

Register Raster

Automatically aligns a raster to a reference image or uses a control point file for georegistration. If the input dataset is a mosaic dataset, the tool will operate on each mosaic dataset item. To automatically register the image, the input raster and the reference raster must be in a relatively close geographic area. The tool will run faster if the raster datasets are in close alignment. You may need to create a link file, also known as a control point file, with a few links to get your input raster into the same map space.

1.    Input Raster

The raster that you want to realign. Registering a mosaic dataset item will update that particular item within the mosaic dataset.

A mosaic dataset item will have the path to the mosaic dataset followed by the Object ID of the item. For example, the first item in the mosaic dataset would have the following path: .\mosaicDataset\objectid=1.

2.    Register Mode

Choose the registration mode. You can either register the raster with a transformation or reset the transformation.

1. REGISTER—Apply a geometric transformation to the input raster.
2. REGISTER_MS—Register the multispectral input to the panchromatic input. This is only used for mosaic datasets that have a misalignment between the two.
3. RESET— Remove the geometric transformation previously added by this tool.
4. CREATE_LINKS—Create a link file with automatically generated links.

3.    Reference Raster (optional)

Choose the raster dataset that will align the input raster dataset. Leave this parameter empty if you want to register your multispectral mosaic dataset items to their associated panchromatic raster datasets.

4.    Input Link File (optional)

The file that has the coordinates to link the input raster dataset with the reference. The input link table works with one mosaic item in the mosaic layer. The input must specify which item is being processed, either selecting the item or specifying the ObjectID in the input. Leave this parameter empty to register multispectral mosaic dataset items with the associated panchromatic raster datasets.

5.    Transformation Type (optional)

The method for shifting the raster dataset.

POLYORDER0— This method uses a zero-order polynomial to shift your data. This is commonly used when your data is already georeferenced, but a small shift will better line up your data. Only one link is required to perform a zero-order polynomial shift.

POLYSIMILARITY—This is a first-order transformation that attempts to preserve the shape of the original raster. The RMS error tends to be higher than other polynomial transformations because the preservation of shape is more important than the best fit.

1. POLYORDER1—A first-order polynomial (affine) fits a flat plane to the input points.
2. POLYORDER2—A second-order polynomial fits a somewhat more complicated surface to the input points.
3. POLYORDER3—A third-order polynomial fits a more complicated surface to the input points.
4. ADJUST—This method combines a polynomial transformation and uses a triangulated irregular network (TIN) interpolation technique to optimize for both global and local accuracy.
5. SPLINE—This method transforms the source control points precisely to the target control points. In the output, the control points will be accurate, but the raster pixels between the control points are not.
6. PROJECTIVE—This method warps lines so they remain straight. In doing so, lines that were once parallel may no longer remain parallel. The projective transformation is especially useful for oblique imagery, scanned maps, and for some imagery products.

6.    Output Link File (optional)

If specified, a text file will be written containing the links created by this tool. This file can be used in the Warp From File tool. The output link table works with one mosaic dataset item in the mosaic layer. The input must specify which item is being processed, either selecting the item or specifying the ObjectID in the input.

7.    Maximum RMS (optional)

Set the amount of modeled error (in pixels) that you want in the output. The default is 0.5, and values below 0.3 are not recommended as this leads to overfitting.
