Raster Compare

Compares the properties of two raster or mosaic datasets.

1.    Input Base Raster

The first raster or mosaic dataset to compare.

2.    Input Test Raster

The second raster or mosaic dataset to compare with the first.

3.    Compare Type (optional)

The type of raster to be compared.

  1. RASTER_DATASET—Compare two raster datasets.
  2. GDB_RASTER_DATASET—Compare two raster datasets in a geodatabase.
  3. GDB_RASTER_CATALOG—Compare two raster catalogs in a geodatabase.
  4. MOSAIC_DATASET—Compare two mosaic datasets.

4.    Ignore Options (optional)

The properties you do not want to include in the comparison.

  1. BandCount—Ignore the number of bands.
  2. Extent—Ignore the extent.
  3. Columns And Rows—Ignore the number of columns and rows.
  4. Pixel Type—Ignore the pixel type.
  5. NoData—Ignore the NoData value.
  6. Spatial Reference—Ignore the spatial reference system.
  7. Pixel Value—Ignore the pixel values.
  8. Colormap—Ignore if a color map exists.
  9. Raster Attribute Table—Ignore if an attribute table exists.
  10. Statistics—Ignore the statistics.
  11. Metadata—Ignore any metadata.
  12. Pyramids Exist—Ignore if pyramids exist.
  13. Compression Type—Ignore the compression type.

5.    Parameter Tolerance (optional)

Incorporate some flexibility when comparing parameter accuracy. The same tolerance can be applied for all parameters, or different tolerances can be applied to individual parameters.

The tolerance type can be set as either a value or a fraction. For example, if the base value is 100 and a fraction tolerance is set to 0.00001, the compare tolerance will be within 100 * 0.001 (100 * 0.00001).

6.    Attribute Tolerance (optional)

The fields you want to compare to see if they are within a tolerance. The tolerance value is a value in the units of the attribute.

7.    Omit Fields (optional)

The field or fields that will be omitted during comparison.

8.    Continue Comparison (optional)

When a mismatch is encountered, stop the comparison.

  1. Unchecked—Stop comparing upon the discovery of a mismatch. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Continue comparing the raster datasets if a mismatch is found.

9.    Output Compare File (optional)

Create a text file containing the comparison results.

Table Compare

Compares two tables or table views and returns the comparison results.

1.    Input Base Table

The Input Base Table is compared with the Input Test Table. The Input Base Table refers to tabular data that you have declared valid. The base data has the correct field definitions and attribute values.

2.    Input Test Table

The Input Test Table is compared against the Input Base Table. The Input Test Table refers to data that you have made changes to by editing or compiling new fields, new records, or new attribute values.

3.    Sort Field

The field or fields used to sort records in the Input Base Table and the Input Test Table. The records are sorted in ascending order. Sorting by a common field in both the Input Base Table and the Input Test Table ensures that you are comparing the same row from each input dataset.

4.    Compare Type (optional)

The comparison type. ALL is the default. The default will compare all properties of the tables being compared.

  1. ALL—Compare all properties. This is the default.
  2. ATTRIBUTES_ONLY—Only compare the attributes and their values.
  3. SCHEMA_ONLY—Only compare the schema.

5.    Ignore Options (optional)

These properties will not be compared.

  1. IGNORE_EXTENSION_PROPERTIES—Do not compare extension properties.
  2. IGNORE_SUBTYPES—Do not compare subtypes.
  3.  IGNORE_RELATIONSHIPCLASSES—Do not compare relationship classes.
  4. IGNORE_FIELDALIAS—Do not compare field aliases.

6.    Attribute Tolerance (optional)

The numeric value that determines the range in which attribute values are considered equal. This only applies to numeric field types.

7.    Omit Fields (optional)

The field or fields that will be omitted during comparison. The field definitions and the tabular values for these fields will be ignored.

8.    Continue Comparison (optional)

Indicates whether to compare all properties after encountering the first mismatch.

  1. Unchecked—Stop after encountering the first mismatch. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Compare other properties after encountering the first mismatch.

9.    Output Compare File (optional)

This file will contain all similarities and differences between the Input Base Table and the Input Test Table. This file is a comma-delimited text file that can be viewed and used as a table in ArcGIS.

TIN Compare

TIN Compare

Compares two TINs and returns the comparison results.

1.    Input Base Tin

The Input Base Tin is compared with the Input Test Tin. Input Base Tin refers to data that you have declared valid. This base data has the correct geometry, tag values (if any), and spatial reference.

2.    Input Test Tin

The Input Test Tin is compared against the Input Base Tin.

3.    Compare Type (optional)

The comparison type.

  1. ALL—This is the default.
  2. PROPERTIES_ONLY—Refers to both geometry and TIN tag values, if any, that are assigned to nodes and triangles.
  3. SPATIAL_REFERENCE_ONLY—Coordinate system information.

4.    Continue Comparison (optional)

Indicates whether to compare all properties after encountering the first mismatch.

  1. Unchecked—Stop after encountering the first mismatch. This is the default.
  2. Checked—Compare other properties after encountering the first mismatch.

5.    Output Compare File (optional)

The name and path of the text file which will contain the comparison results.
