Rubbersheet Features

Modifies input features by spatially adjusting them through rubbersheeting, using the specified rubbersheet links, so they are better aligned with the intended target features.

1.    Input Features

Input features to be adjusted. They can be points, lines, or polygons.

2.    Input Link Features

Input line features representing regular links for rubbersheeting.

3.    Input Point Features As Identity Links (optional)

Input point features representing identity links for rubbersheeting.

4.    Method (optional)

Rubbersheeting method to be used to adjust features.

  1. LINEAR—This method is slightly faster and produces good results when you have many links spread uniformly over the data you are adjusting. This is the default.
  2. NATURAL_NEIGHBOR—This method should be used when you have few links spaced widely apart.

Split Line by Match

Splits input features based on matching relationships to obtain better corresponding line segmentation.

When dealing with line features in two different data sets—for example, city roads and state roads—having features in 1:1 rather than many-to-many (m:n) matching relationships will aid conflation tasks, such as attribute transfer from one source to the other. This tool is intended to help turn the m:n matches into more 1:1 matches.

The input features and the matched features must be prematched by one of the feature matching based conflation tools, such as Detect Feature Changes, with a match table produced. The matching relationships recorded in the match table are between source and target features.

For each match group, the tool splits the input features based on the node conditions in the matched features. A node can be a dangle end of a line, a pseudo node between two lines, or a junction of multiple lines. For example, a 1:2 matched group means one source feature matched two target features, and the two target features are joined at a pseudo node. The tool will split the input line at a location near the target pseudo node. This is to improve the correspondences between the source and target lines so the next round of feature matching will produce more 1:1 matches for conflation needs.

1.    Input Features

The input line features to be split. They must be prematched with the matched features.

2.    Matched Features

Matched features are used as reference when splitting the input features. They must be prematched with the input features.

3.    Input Match Table

A table that includes matching information between input and matched features.

4.    Output Feature Class

The output feature class containing split lines and original lines that are not split.

5.    Search Distance

The distance value used to determine split locations. The value must be greater than 0. If units are not specified, the units of the input will be used.

6.    Input Features In Match (optional)

Specifies whether the input features in the match table are source features or target features, so the correct features will be split.

  1. AS_SOURCE—The input features are stored as the source features in the match table. This is the default.
  2. AS_TARGET—The input features are stored as the target features in the match table.

7.    Output Split Points (optional)

The output point feature class containing points that represent split locations.

8.    Split dangle features (optional)

Specifies whether dangling lines will be split.

  1. Checked—Dangling lines will be split following the tool's split rules. This is the default.
  2. Unchecked—Dangling lines will not be split.

9.    Minimum Match Group Length (optional)

A given match group will only participate in the splitting process if either the total length of the input features or the total length of the matched features are greater than the specified value.

10. Minimum Split Length (optional)

If a split will result in one or both of the split pieces being shorter than the specified value, the split will not occur.

11. Split Field(s) (optional)

A list of numeric fields from input features. Their field values will be based on the proportions of the split lines.

Transfer Attributes

Finds where the source line features spatially match the target line features and transfers specified attributes from source features to matched target features.

Attribute transfer is typically used to copy attributes from features in one dataset to corresponding features in another dataset. For example, it can be used to transfer the names of road features from a previously digitized and maintained dataset to features in a new dataset that are newly collected and more accurate. The two datasets are usually referred to as source features and target features. This tool finds corresponding source and target line features within the specified search distance and transfers the specified attributes from source lines to target lines.

1.    Source Features

Line features from which to transfer attributes.

2.    Target Features

Line features to which to transfer attributes. The specified transfer fields are added to the target features.

3.    Transfer Field(s)

List of source fields to be transferred to target features. At least one field must be specified.

4.    Search Distance

The distance used to search for match candidates. A distance must be specified and it must be greater than zero. You can choose a preferred unit; the default is the feature unit.

5.    Match Fields (optional)

Lists of fields from source and target features. If specified, each pair of fields are checked for match candidates to help determine the right match.

6.    Output Match Table (optional)

The output table containing complete feature matching information.

7.    Transfer Rule Field(s) (optional)

Sets rules to control which source feature will be used to transfer attributes from when multiple source features matched target feature(s). The source feature to be used for the transfer is determined by the specified rule fields and the ruling values, which are ranked from high to low priority as they appear in the specified list. If no rules are set, the longest of the multiple matched source features will be used for the transfer.

  • Available rule types are as follows:

  1. MIN—The minimum value for integer or date field. If for a date field, the most recent date.
  2. MAX—The maximum value for integer or date field. If for a date field, the oldest date.
  3. A text or integer value that may exist in your source features.

Transform Features

Converts the coordinates of input features from one location to another through scaling, shifting, and rotating based on the transformation links between known corresponding control points.

1.    Input Features

Input features, the coordinates of which are to be transformed.

2.    Input Link Features

Input link features that link known control points for the transformation.

3.    Method (optional)

Transformation method to use to convert input feature coordinates.

  1. AFFINE—Affine transformation requires a minimum of three transformation links. This is the default.
  2. PROJECTIVE—Projective transformation requires a minimum of four transformation links.
  3. SIMILARITY—Similarity transformation requires a minimum of two transformation links.

4.    Output Link Table (optional)

The output table containing input links and their residual errors.
