LAS Point Statistics as Raster

How to LAS Point Statistics as Raster Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

LAS Point Statistics as Raster

Path to access the tool

:

LAS Point Statistics as Raster Tool, LAS Dataset Toolset, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

LAS Point Statistics as Raster

Creates a raster whose cell values reflect statistical information about measurements from LAS files referenced by a LAS dataset.

1.    Input LAS Dataset

The LAS dataset to process.

2.    Output Raster

The location and name of the output raster. When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase or in a folder such as an Esri Grid, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset. A file extension can be provided to define the raster's format when storing it in a folder, such as . tif to generate a GeoTIFF or .img to generate an ERDAS IMAGINE format file.

If the raster is stored as a TIFF file or in a geodatabase, its raster compression type and quality can be specified using geoprocessing environment settings.

3.    Method (optional)

The type of statistics collected about the LAS points in each cell of the output raster.

1. PULSE_COUNT—The number of last return points.
2. POINT_COUNT—The number of points from all returns.
3. PREDOMINANT_LAST_RETURN—The most frequent last return value.
4. PREDOMINANT_CLASS—The most frequent class code.
5. INTENSITY_RANGE—The range of intensity values.
6. Z_RANGE—The range of elevation values.

4.    Sampling Type (optional)

Specifies the method used for interpreting the Sampling Value to define the resolution of the output raster.

1. OBSERVATIONS—Defines the number of cells that divide the lengthiest side of the LAS dataset extent.
2. CELLSIZE—Defines the cell size of the output raster. This is the default.

5.    Sampling Value (optional)

Specifies the value used in conjunction with the Sampling Type to define the resolution of the output raster.

Remove Files from LAS Dataset

How to Remove Files from LAS Dataset Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Remove Files from LAS Dataset

Path to access the tool

:

Remove Files from LAS Dataset Tool, LAS Dataset Toolset, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

Remove Files from LAS Dataset

Removes one or more LAS files and surface constraint features from a LAS dataset.

1.    Input LAS Dataset

The LAS dataset to process.

2.    LAS Files or Folders (optional)

The name of the LAS files or folders containing LAS files whose reference will be removed from the LAS dataset.

3.    Surface Constraints (optional)

The name of the surface constraint features that will be removed from the LAS dataset.

Apply Symbology from Layer

How to Apply Symbology from Layer Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Apply Symbology from Layer

Path to access the tool

:

Apply Symbology from Layer Tool, Layers and Table Views Toolset, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

Apply Symbology from Layer

This tool applies the symbology from a layer to the Input Layer. It can be applied to feature, raster, network analysis, TIN, and geostatistical layer files or layers in the ArcMap table of contents. This tool is primarily for use in scripts or ModelBuilder.

1.    Input Layer

The layer to which the symbology will be applied.

2.    Symbology Layer

The symbology of this layer is applied to the Input Layer.

Make Feature Layer

How to Make Feature Layer Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Make Feature Layer

Path to access the tool

:

Make Feature Layer Tool, Layers and Table Views Toolset, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

Make Feature Layer

Creates a feature layer from an input feature class or layer file. The layer that is created by the tool is temporary and will not persist after the session ends unless the layer is saved to disk or the map document is saved.

1.    Input Features

The input feature class or layer from which to make the new layer. Complex feature classes, such as annotation and dimensions, are not valid inputs to this tool.

2.    Output Layer

The name of the feature layer to be created. The newly created layer can be used as input to any geoprocessing tool that accepts a feature layer as input.

3.    Expression (optional)

An SQL expression used to select a subset of features.

4.    Workspace or Feature Dataset (optional)

The input workspace used to validate the field names. If the input is a geodatabase table and the output workspace is a dBASE table, the field names may be truncated, since dBASE fields can only have names of ten characters or less. The new names may be reviewed and altered using the field information control.

5.    Field Info (optional)

Can be used to review and alter the field names and hide a subset of fields in the output layer. A split policy can be specified. See the usages for more information.
