Raster to ASCII

Path to access the tool

:

1.    Input raster

The input raster dataset.

The raster can be integer or floating-point type.

2.    Output ASCII raster file

The output ASCII raster file.

Raster to Float

Raster to Float

Path to access the tool

:

Raster to Float Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

Raster to Float

Converts a raster dataset to a file of binary floating-point values representing raster data.

1.    Input raster

The input raster dataset.

The raster can be integer or floating-point type.

2.    Output floating point raster file

The output floating-point raster file.

The file name must have a .flt extension.

Raster to Point

Raster to Point

Path to access the tool

:

Raster to Point Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

Raster to Point

Converts a raster dataset to point features.

1.    Input raster

The input raster dataset.

The raster can be integer or floating-point type.

2.    Field (optional)

The field to assign values from the cells in the input raster to the points in the output dataset.

It can be an integer, floating point, or string field.

3.    Output point features

The output feature class that will contain the converted points.

Raster to Polygon

How to use Raster to Polygon Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Raster to Polygon

Path to access the tool

:

Raster to Polygon Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

Raster to Polygon

Converts a raster dataset to polygon features.

1.    Input raster

The input raster dataset.

The raster must be integer type.

2.    Field (optional)

The field used to assign values from the cells in the input raster to the polygons in the output dataset.

It can be an integer or a string field.

3.    Output polygon features

The output feature class that will contain the converted polygons.

4.    Simplify polygons (optional)

Determines if the output polygons will be smoothed into simpler shapes or conform to the input raster's cell edges.

• Checked—The polygons will be smoothed into simpler shapes. The smoothing is done in such a way that the polygons contain a minimum number of segments while remaining as close as possible the original raster cell edges. This is the default.
• Unchecked—The edge of the polygons will conform exactly to the input raster's cell edges. With this option, converting the resulting polygon feature class back to a raster would produce a raster the same as the original.

5.    Create multipart features (optional)

Specifies whether the output polygons will consist of single-part or multipart features.

• Checked—Specifies that multipart features will be created based on polygons that have the same value.
• Unchecked—Specifies that individual features will be created for each polygon. This is the default.

6.    Maximum vertices per polygon feature (optional)

The vertex limit used to subdivide a polygon into smaller polygons. This parameter produces similar output as created by the Dice tool.

If left empty, the output polygons will not be split. The default is empty.

Raster to Polyline

How to use Raster to Polyline Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Raster to Polyline

Path to access the tool

:

Raster to Polyline Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

  

Raster to Polyline

Converts a raster dataset to polyline features.

1.    Input raster

The input raster dataset.

The raster must be integer type.

2.    Field (optional)

The field used to assign values from the cells in the input raster to the polyline features in the output dataset.

It can be an integer or a string field.

3.    Output polyline features

The output feature class that will contain the converted polylines.

4.    Background value (optional)

Specifies the value that will identify the background cells. The raster dataset is viewed as a set of foreground cells and background cells. The linear features are formed from the foreground cells.

• ZERO—The background is composed of cells of zero or less or NoData. All cells with a value greater than zero are considered a foreground value.
• NODATA—The background is composed of NoData cells. All cells with valid values belong to the foreground.

5.    Minimum dangle length (optional)

Minimum length of dangling polylines that will be retained. The default is zero. 

6.    Simplify polylines (optional)

Simplifies a line by removing small fluctuations or extraneous bends from it while preserving its essential shape.

• Checked—The polylines will be simplified into simpler shapes such that each contains a minimum number of segments. This is the default.
• Unchecked—The polylines will not be simplified.

Raster To Video

How to use Raster To Video Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Raster To Video

Path to access the tool

:

Raster To Video Tool, From Raster Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

 

Raster To Video

Creates an AVI or Quicktime video file from a set of images.

1.    Input Folder

The folder containing the images that will be used to create the video. The images must all be of the same format, either bitmap (*.bmp) or JPEG (*.jpg).

2.    Output Video File

The output video file can be stored in the AVI format (*.avi) or in the Quicktime format (*.mov).

3.    Image Format (optional)

The format of the images files in the folder. The output video will be created using the images of the chosen format.

• BMP— Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)
• JPG—JPEG (*.jpg)

4.    Codec (optional)

The codec used for compressing the frames while writing the video file. The list of codecs can vary on different machines based on a number of factors such as the applications installed on the machine.

5.    Output Duration Method (optional)

The method to be used for defining the duration of the Output Video File.

• FRAME_RATE— Defines the duration of the output video based on the number of frames per second. Each image represents one frame. If the frame rate is 24 and there are 360 images, the resulting video will be 15 seconds long. This method is the default
• TIME— Defines the duration of the output video in seconds. If the total time is 10 seconds and there are 360 images, the resulting video's frame rate will be 36.

6.    Frame Rate or Time (optional)

Duration of the video to be output. If the Output Duration Method is specified using frame rate, the number must be an integer. If the method is using time, the number is expressed in units of seconds.

7.    Quality (optional)

The quality of the output video. The higher the value, the better the quality, and the lower the compression rate. The quality value can range from 1 to 100, if The default value is 100.
