arcgis.raster module

The arcgis.raster module containing classes and raster analysis functions for working with raster data and imagery layers.

Raster data is made up of a grid of cells, where each cell or pixel can have a value. Raster data is useful for storing data that varies continuously, as in a satellite image, a surface of chemical concentrations, or an elevation surface.

Use arcgis.raster.analytics.is_supported(gis) to check if raster analysis is supported in your GIS.

ImageryLayer

class arcgis.raster.ImageryLayer(url, gis=None)

attribute_table(rendering_rule=None)

The attribute_table method returns categorical mapping of pixel values (for example, a class, group, category, or membership).

Arguments

measure(from_geometry, to_geometry=None, measure_operation=None, pixel_size=None, mosaic_rule=None, linear_unit=None, angular_unit=None, area_unit=None)

The function lets a user measure distance, direction, area, perimeter, and height from an image layer. The result of this operation includes the name of the raster dataset being used, sensor name, and measured values. The measure operation can be supported by image services from raster datasets and mosaic datasets. Spatial reference is required to perform basic measurement (distance, area, and so on). Sensor metadata (geodata transformation) needs to be present in the data source used by an image layer to enable height measurement (for example, imagery with RPCs). The mosaic dataset or Layer needs to include DEM to perform 3D measure.

Arguments	Description
from_geometry	required Geomerty or dictionary. A geometry that defines the “from” location of the measurement.
to_geometry	optional Geomerty. A geometry that defines the “to” location of the measurement. The type of geometry must be the same as from_geometry.

temporal_profile(points=[], time_field=None, variables=[], bands=[0], time_extent=None, dimension=None, dimension_values=[], show_values=False, trend_type=None, trend_order=None, plot_properties={})

A temporal profile serves as a basic analysis tool for imagery data in a time series. Visualizing change over time with the temporal profile allows trends to be displayed and compared with variables, bands, or values from other dimensions simultaneously.

Using the functionality in temporal profile charts, you can perform trend analysis, gain insight into multidimensional raster data at given locations, and plot values that are changing over time in the form of a line graph.

Temporal profile charts can be used in various scientific applications involving time series analysis of raster data, and the graphical output of results can be used directly as input for strategy management and decision making.

The x-axis of the temporal profile displays the time in continuous time intervals. The time field is obtained from the timeInfo of the image service.

The y-axis of the temporal profile displays the variable value.

The temporal profile is created based on the specific values in other dimensions, such as depth at the corresponding time value. For example, soil moisture data usually includes both a time dimension and vertical dimension below the earth’s surface, resulting in a temporal profile at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 meters below the ground.
