Band Collection Statistics

How to use Band Collection Statistics Tool in Arc Toolbox??

Band Collection Statistics Tool

Band Collection Statistics

Calculates the statistics for a set of raster bands.

1.    Input raster bands

The input raster bands.

They can be integer or floating-point type.

2.    Output statistics file

The output ASCII file containing the statistics.

A .txt extension is required.

3.    Compute covariance and correlation matrices (optional) (اختياري)

Specifies whether covariance and correlation matrices are calculated.

  1. Unchecked—Only the basic statistical measures (minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation) will be calculated for every layer. This is the default.
  2. Checked—In addition to the standard statistics calculated, the covariance and correlation matrices will also be determined.

Class Probability

Creates a multiband raster of probability bands, with one band being created for each class represented in the input signature file.

1.    Input raster bands

The input raster bands.

They can be integer or floating point type.

2.    Input signature file

Input signature file whose class signatures are used to generate the a priori probability bands.

A .gsg extension is required.

3.    Output multiband raster

The output multiband raster dataset.

It will be of integer type.

If the output is an Esri Grid, the filename cannot have more than 9 characters.

4.    Maximum output value (optional)

Factor for scaling the range of values in the output probability bands.

By default, the values range from 0 to 100.

5.    A priori probability weighting (optional)

Specifies how a priori probabilities will be determined.

  1. EQUAL— All classes will have the same a priori probability.
  2. SAMPLE— A priori probabilities will be proportional to the number of cells in each class relative to the total number of cells sampled in all classes in the signature file.
  3. FILE—The a priori probabilities will be assigned to each class from an input ASCII a priori probability file.

6.    Input a priori probability file (optional)

A text file containing a priori probabilities for the input signature classes.

An input for the a priori probability file is only required when the FILE option is used.

The extension for the a priori file can be .txt or .asc.

Create Signatures

Creates an ASCII signature file of classes defined by input sample data and a set of raster bands.

1.    Input raster bands

The input raster bands for which to create the signatures.

They can be integer or floating point type.

2.    Input raster or feature sample data

The input delineating the set of class samples.

The input can be an integer raster or a feature dataset.

3.    Sample field (optional)

Field of the input raster or feature sample data to assign values to the sampled locations (classes).

Only integer or string fields are valid fields. The specified number or string will be used as the Class name in the output signature file.

4.    Output signature file

The output signature file.

A .gsg extension must be specified.

5.    Compute covariance matrices (optional)

Specifies whether covariance matrices in addition to the means are calculated.

  1. Checked—Both the covariance matrices and the means for all classes of the input sample data will be computed. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—Only the means for all classes of the input sample data will be calculated.

Dendrogram

Constructs a tree diagram (dendrogram) showing attribute distances between sequentially merged classes in a signature file.

1.    Input signature file

Input signature file whose class signatures are used to produce a dendrogram.

A .gsg extension is required.

2.    Output dendrogram file

The output dendrogram ASCII file.

The extension can be .txt or .asc.

3.    Use variance in distance calculations (optional)

Specifies the manner in which the distances between classes in multidimensional attribute space are defined.

  1. Checked—The distances between classes will be computed based on the variances and the Euclidean distance between the means of their signatures.
  2. Unchecked—The distances between classes will be determined by the Euclidean distances between the means of the class signatures only.

4.    Line width of dendrogram (optional)

Sets the width of the dendrogram in number of characters on a line.

The default is 78.

Edit Signatures

Edit Signatures

Edits and updates a signature file by merging, renumbering, and deleting class signatures.

1.    Input raster bands

The input raster bands for which to edit the signatures.

They can be integer or floating point type.

2.    Input signature file

Input signature file whose class signatures are to be edited.

A .gsg extension is required.

3.    Input signature remap file

Input ASCII remap table containing the class IDs to be merged, renumbered, or deleted.

The extension can be .rmp, .asc or .txt. The default is .rmp.

4.    Output signature file

The output signature file.

A .gsg extension must be specified.

5.    Sample interval (optional)

The interval to be used for sampling.

The default is 10.
