Make Image Server Layer

Creates a temporary raster layer from an image service. The layer that is created will not persist after the session ends unless the document is saved.

The input can also be a SOAP URL to an image server.

1.    Input Image Service

The name of the input image service or the SOAP URL that references the image service. Browse to or type the input image service. This tool can also accept a SOAP URL that references the image service.

An example of using the image service name called ProjectX is: C:\MyProject\ServerConnection.ags\ProjectX.ImageServer.

An example of a URL is http://AGSServer:8399/arcgis/services/ISName/ImageServer.

2.    Output Image Server Layer

The name of the output image layer.

3.    Expression (optional)

Using SQL, you can define a query or use the Query Builder to build a query.

4.    Template Extent (optional)

The output extent of the image layer.

The output extent can be specified by defining the four coordinates or by using the extent of an existing layer.

5.    Bands (optional)

Choose which bands to export for the layer. If no bands are specified, all the bands will be used in the output.

6.    Output Cell Size (optional)

The cell size for the output image service layer.

7.    Processing Template (optional)

The raster function processing template that can be applied on the output image service layer.

  • None—No processing template.

8.    Mosaic Method (optional)

The mosaic method defines how the mosaic is created from different rasters.

  1. SEAMLINE—Smooth transitions between images using seamlines.
  2. NORTH_WEST—Display imagery that is closest to the northwest corner of the mosaic dataset boundary.
  3. CLOSEST_TO_CENTER—Display imagery that is closest to the center of the screen.
  4. LOCK_RASTER—Select specific raster datasets to display.
  5. BY_ATTRIBUTE—Display and prioritize imagery based on a field in the attribute table.
  6. CLOSEST_TO_NADIR—Display the rasters with viewing angles closest to zero.
  7. CLOSEST_TO_VIEWPOINT—Display imagery that is closest to a selected viewing angle.
  8. NONE—Order rasters based on the ObjectID in the mosaic dataset attribute table.

9.    Order Field (optional)

The default field to use to order the rasters when the mosaic method is By_Attribute. The list of fields is defined as those in the service table that are of type metadata and are integer (for example, the values can represent dates or cloud cover percentage).

10. Order Base Value (optional)

The images are sorted based on the difference between this input value and the attribute value in the specified field.

11. Lock Raster ID (optional)

The raster ID or raster name to which the service should be locked, such that only the specified rasters are displayed. If left blank (undefined), it will be similar to the system default. Multiple IDs can be defined as a semicolon-delimited list.

  • 15—15th Return

5.    Unflagged Points (optional)

Specifies whether data points that do not have any classification flags assigned should be enabled for display and analysis.

  1. Checked—Unflagged points will be displayed. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—Unflagged points will not be displayed.

6.    Synthetic Points (optional)

Specifies whether data points flagged as synthetic, or points that originated from a data source other than lidar, should be enabled for display and analysis..

  1. Checked—Synthetic points will be displayed. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—Synthetic points will not be displayed.

7.    Model Key-points (optional)

Specifies whether data points flagged as model key points, or significant measurements that should not be thinned away, should be enabled for display and analysis.

  1. Checked—Model key points will be displayed. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—Model key points will not be displayed.

8.    Withheld Points (optional)

Specifies whether data points flagged as withheld, which typically represent unwanted noise measurements, should be enabled for display and analysis.

  1. Unchecked—Withheld points will not be displayed. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Withheld points will be displayed.

9.    Surface Constraints (optional)

Make Mosaic Layer

Creates a mosaic layer from a mosaic dataset 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 as a layer file or the map is saved.

This tool can be used to make a layer so you can work with a specified subset of bands in a mosaic dataset.

1.     Mosaic Dataset

The path and name of the input mosaic dataset.

2.     Output Mosaic Layer

The name of the output mosaic layer.

3.     Expression (optional)

Using SQL, you can define a query or use the Query Builder to build a query.

4.     Output Cell Size (optional)

The cell size of the output mosaic layer.

5.     Template Extent (optional)

The output extent can be specified by defining the four coordinates or by using the extent of an existing layer.

6.     Bands (optional)

Choose which bands to export for the layer. If no bands are specified, all the bands will be used in the output.

7.     Processing Template (optional)

The raster function processing template that can be applied on the output mosaic layer.

  • None—No processing template.

8.     Mosaic Method (optional)

Choose the mosaic method. The mosaic method defines how the layer is created from different rasters in the mosaic dataset.

  1. CLOSEST_TO_CENTER—Sorts rasters based on an order where rasters that have their center closest to the view center are placed on top.
  2. NORTH_WEST—Sorts rasters based on an order where rasters that have their center closest to the northwest are placed on top.
  3. LOCK_RASTER—Enables a user to lock the display of single or multiple rasters, based on an ID or name. When you choose this option, you need to specify the Lock Raster ID.
  4. BY_ATTRIBUTE—Sorts rasters based on an attribute field and its difference from the base value. When this option is chosen, the order field and order base value parameters also need to be set.
  5. CLOSEST_TO_NADIR—Sorts rasters based on an order where rasters that have their nadir position closest to the view center are placed on top. The nadir point can be different from the center point, especially in oblique imagery.
  6. CLOSEST_TO_VIEWPOINT—Sorts rasters based on an order where the nadir position is closest to the user-defined viewpoint location and are placed on top.
  7. SEAMLINE—Cuts the rasters using the predefined seamline shape for each raster using optional feathering along the seams. The ordering is predefined during seamline generation. The LAST mosaic operator is not valid with this mosaic method.

9.     Order Field (optional)

Mosaic Operator (optional)

Choose the mosaic operator to use. When two or more rasters have the same sort priority, this parameter is used to further refine the sort order.

Choose the order field. When the mosaic method is BY_ATTRIBUTE, the default field to use when ordering rasters needs to be set. The list of fields is defined as those in the service table that are of type metadata.

Choose the order field. When the mosaic method is BY_ATTRIBUTE, the default field to use when ordering rasters needs to be set. The list of fields is defined as those in the service table that are of type metadata.

10.  Order Base Value (optional)

The order base value. The images are sorted based on the difference between this value and the attribute value in the specified field.

11.  Lock Raster ID (optional)

The Raster ID or raster name to which the service should be locked so that only the specified rasters are displayed. If left undefined, it will be similar to the system default. Multiple IDs can be defined as a semicolon-delimited list.

12.  Sort Order (optional)

Choose whether the sort order is ascending or descending.

  1. ASCENDING—The sort order will be ascending. This is the default.
  2. DESCENDING—The sort order will be descending.

13.  Mosaic Operator (optional)

Choose the mosaic operator to use. When two or more rasters have the same sort priority, this parameter is used to further refine the sort order.

  1. FIRST—The first raster in the list will be on top. This is the default.
  2. LAST—The last raster in the list will be on top.
  3. MIN—The raster with the lowest value will be on top.
  4. MAX—The raster with the highest value will be on top.
  5. MEAN—The average pixel value will be on top.
  6. BLEND—The output cell value will be a blend of values; this blend value relies on an algorithm that is weight based and dependent on the distance from the pixel to the edge within the overlapping area.
  7. SUM—The output cell value will be the aggregate of all overlapping cells.
