arcgis.raster.analytics module

Functions for calling the Raster Analysis Tools. The RasterAnalysisTools service is used by ArcGIS Server to provide distributed raster analysis.

The Hosted Imagery & Raster Analysis capabilities are available in ArcGIS Online at 8.2 as an invite only Beta through an Early Adopter Program (EAP)

get_datastores

arcgis.raster.analytics.get_datastores(gis=None)

Returns a helper object to manage raster analytics datastores in the GIS. If a gis isn’t specified, returns datastore manager of arcgis.env.active_gis

is_supported

arcgis.raster.analytics.is_supported(gis=None)

Returns True if the GIS supports raster analytics. If a gis isn’t specified, checks if arcgis.env.active_gis supports raster analytics

generate_raster

arcgis.raster.analytics.generate_raster(raster_function, function_arguments=None, output_raster_properties=None, output_name=None, process_as_multidimensional=None, build_transpose=None, context=None, *, gis=None, future=False, **kwargs)
_images/ra_generate_raster.png

Function allows you to execute raster analysis on a distributed server deployment.

Argument

Description

raster_function

Required, Raster function to perform analysis on the input raster dataset. The value can be a string keyword for predefined raster functions such as NDVI, a JSON object that describes a raster function chain with a built-in functions that are known to the server, or the contents of a raster function template file (*.rft.xml).

Please refer to the complete list of Raster Analysis functions to execute on a distributed server: https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/common-data-types/raster-function-objects.htm

function_arguments

Optional, The dict to specify the raster function arguments’ value. It is optional because the argument value can also be defined in the function template. The function_arguments parameter supports the RasterInfo argument for all raster functions. The information stored in RasterInfo allows you to specify the output raster dataset’s properties such as cell size, extent, and nodata..

Example: {“Raster”: {“url”: <image service url>}, “ResamplingType”: 1}

For specifying input Raster alone, portal Item can be passed. (i.e, parameter with name “Raster”)

output_name

Optional. If not provided, an Image Service is created by the method and used as the output raster. You can pass in an existing Image Service Item from your GIS to use that instead. Alternatively, you can pass in the name of the output Image Service that should be created by this method to be used as the output for the tool. A RuntimeError is raised if a service by that name already exists

process_as_multidimensional

Optional bool, Process as multidimensional if set to True, if the input is multidimensional raster.

build_transpose

Optional bool, if set to true, transforms the output multidimensional raster. Valid only if process_as_multidimensional is set to True.

_images/ra_interpolate_points.png

This tool allows you to predict values at new locations based on measurements from a collection of points. The tool takes point data with values at each point and returns a raster of predicted values:

  • An air quality management district has sensors that measure pollution levels. Interpolate Points can be used to predict pollution levels at locations that don’t have sensors, such as locations with at-risk populations- schools or hospitals, for example.

  • Predict heavy metal concentrations in crops based on samples taken from individual plants.

  • Predict soil nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and so on) and other indicators (such as electrical conductivity) in order to study their relationships to crop yield and prescribe precise amounts of fertilizer for each location in the field.

  • Meteorological applications include prediction of temperatures, rainfall, and associated variables (such as acid rain).

Argument

Description

input_point_features

Required point layer containing locations with known values The point layer that contains the points where the values have been measured.

interpolate_field

Required string - field to interpolate Choose the field whose values you wish to interpolate. The field must be numeric.

Example:

“myField”

optimize_for

Optional string. Choose your preference for speed versus accuracy. More accurate predictions take longer to calculate.

This parameter alters the default values of several other parameters of Interpolate Points in order to optimize speed of calculation, accuracy of results, or a balance of the two.

By default, the tool will optimize for balance.

One of the following: [‘SPEED’, ‘BALANCE’, ‘ACCURACY’]

  • SPEED is optimized for performance.

  • BALANCE is performed with a balance between performance and accuracy. This is the default.

  • ACCURACY is optimized towards achieving the most accurate result, at the expense of some performance..

Example:

“ACCURACY”

transform_data

Optional bool - Choose whether to transform your data to the normal distribution.

Interpolation is most accurate for data that follows a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. If your data does not appear to be normally distributed, you should perform a transformation.

  • False means no transformation will be applied. This is suitable for data that is naturally normally distributed. This is the default.

  • True applies a suitable transformation for data that is not normally distributed.

size_of_local_models

Optional int - Size of local models Interpolate Points works by building local interpolation models that are mixed together to create the final prediction map. This parameter controls how many points will be contained in each local model. Smaller values will make results more local and can reveal small-scale effects, but it may introduce some instability in the calculations. Larger values will be more stable, but some local effects may be missed.

The value can range from 30 to 500, but typical values are between 50 and 200.

number_of_neighbors

Optional int - Number of Neighbors Predictions are calculated based on neighboring points. This parameter controls how many points will be used in the calculation. Using a larger number of neighbors will generally produce more accurate results, but the results take longer to calculate.

This value can range from 1 to 64, but typical values are between 5 and 15.

output_cell_size

Optional dict. Specify the cell size to use for the output raster.

Supported units: Meters | Kilometers | Feet | Miles

Example:

{“distance”:”60”,”units”:”Meters”}

output_prediction_error

Optional bool. Choose whether you want to create a raster of standard errors for the predicted values.

  • True specifies that standard error raster will be generated.

  • False specifies that it will not be generated

Standard errors are useful because they provide information about the reliability of the predicted values. A simple rule of thumb is that the true value will fall within two standard errors of the predicted value 95 percent of the time. For example, suppose a new location gets a predicted value of 50 with a standard error of 5. This means that this tool’s best guess is that the true value at that location is 50, but it reasonably could be as low as 40 or as high as 60. To calculate this range of reasonable values, multiply the standard error by 2, add this value to the predicted value to get the upper end of the range, and subtract it from the predicted value to get the lower end of the range.

output_name

Optional. If not provided, an Image Service is created by the method and used as the output raster.

You can pass in an existing Image Service Item from your GIS to use that instead.

Alternatively, you can pass in the name of the output Image Service that should be created by this method to be used as the output for the tool. A RuntimeError is raised if a service by that name already exists

STD: Finds the standard deviation of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell.

Variety: Finds the variety of all cells in the value raster that belong to the same zone as the output cell.

Percentile: Finds a percentile of all cells in the value raster that belong to the same zone as the output cell. The 90th percentile is calculated by default. You can specify other values (from 0 to 100) using the percentile_value parameter.

If the input_raster_layer_to_summarize is floating-point type, the zonal calculations for Majority, Median, Mean, and Variety cannot be computed.

ignore_missing_values

Optional bool, If you choose to ignore missing values, only the cells that have a value in the layer to be summarized will be used in determining the output value for that area. Otherwise, if there are missing values anywhere in an area, it is deemed that there is insufficient information to perform statistical calculations for all the cells in that zone, and that area will receive a null (NoData) value in the output.

_images/ra_calculate_density.png

Density analysis takes known quantities of some phenomenon and creates a density map by spreading these quantities across the map. You can use this function, for example, to show concentrations of lightning strikes or tornadoes, access to health care facilities, and population densities.

This function creates a density map from point or line features by spreading known quantities of some phenomenon (represented as attributes of the points or lines) across the map. The result is a layer of areas classified from least dense to most dense.

For point input, each point should represent the location of some event or incident, and the result layer represents a count of the incident per unit area. A larger density value in a new location means that there are more points near that location. In many cases, the result layer can be interpreted as a risk surface for future events. For example, if the input points represent locations of lightning strikes, the result layer can be interpreted as a risk surface for future lightning strikes.

For line input, the line density surface represents the total amount of line that is near each location. The units of the calculated density values are the length of line-per-unit area. For example, if the lines represent rivers, the result layer will represent the total length of rivers that are within the search radius. This result can be used to identify areas that are hospitable to grazing animals.

Other use cases of this tool include the following:

  • Creating crime density maps to help police departments properly allocate resources to high crime areas.

  • Calculating densities of hospitals within a county. The result layer will show areas with high and low accessibility to hospitals, and this information can be used to decide where new hospitals should be built.

  • Identifying areas that are at high risk of forest fires based on historical locations of forest fires.

  • Locating communities that are far from major highways in order to plan where new roads should be constructed.

Argument

Description

input_point_or_line_features

Required feature layer - The input point or line layer that will be used to calculate the density layer.

count_field

Optional string - count field

Provide a field specifying the number of incidents at each location. For example, if you have points that represent cities, you can use a field representing the population of the city as the count field, and the resulting population density layer will calculate larger population densities near cities with larger populations.

If the default choice of None is used, then each location will be assumed to represent a single count.

Example: “myCountField”

search_distance

Optional dict, Enter a distance specifying how far to search to find point or line features when calculating density values.

For example, if you provide a search distance of 10,000 meters, the density of any location in the output layer is calculated based on features that are within 10,000 meters of the location. Any location that does not have any incidents within 10,000 meters will receive a density value of zero.

Argument

Description

input_raster

Required ImageryLayer object

spectral_detail

Optional float. Default is 15.5. Set the level of importance given to the spectral differences of features in your imagery. Valid values range from 1.0 to 20.0. A high value is appropriate when you have features you want to classify separately but have somewhat similar spectral characteristics. Smaller values create spectrally smoother outputs.

For example, setting a higher spectral detail value for a forested scene, will preserve greater discrimination between the different tree species, resulting in more segments.

  • An image service URL

  • Shared data path (this path must be accessible by the server)

  • Name of a folder on the portal

Note

The “imageCollectionType” property is important for image collection that will later on be adjusted by orthomapping system service. Based on the image collection type, the orthomapping system service will choose different algorithm for adjustment. Therefore, if the image collection is created by reference, the requester should set this property based on the type of images in the image collection using the following keywords. If the imageCollectionType is not set, it defaults to “UAV/UAS”

If byref is set to ‘True’, the data will not be uploaded. If it is not set, the default is ‘False’

_images/ra_costpath_as_polyline.png

Calculates the least cost polyline path between sources and known destinations. Function available in ArcGIS Image Server 10.8 and higher.

Argument

Description

input_destination_data

A raster or feature layer that identifies those cells from which the least-cost path is determined to the least costly source. If the input is a raster, the input consists of cells that have valid values (zero is a valid value), and the remaining cells must be assigned NoData.

input_cost_distance_raster

The cost distance raster to be used to determine the least-cost path from the sources to the destinations. The cost distance raster is usually created with the Cost Distance, Cost Allocation or Cost Back Link functions. The cost distance raster stores, for each cell, the minimum accumulative cost distance over a cost surface from each cell to a set of source cells.

input_cost_backlink_raster

The name of a cost back link raster used to determine the path to return to a source via the least-cost path. For each cell in the back link raster, a value identifies the neighbor that is the next cell on the least accumulative cost path from the cell to a single source cell or set of source cells.

Calculates the optimal path from a source to a destination as a feature. Function available in ArcGIS Image Server 10.8.1 and higher.

Argument

Description

input_destination_data

Required ImageryLayer or Feature Layer object. Portal Item can be passed. A dataset that identifies locations from which the optimal path is determined to the least costly source.

If the input is a raster, it must consist of cells that have valid values for the destinations, and the remaining cells must be assigned NoData. Zero is a valid value.

input_distance_accumulation_raster

Required ImageryLayer object. Portal Item can be passed. The distance accumulation raster is used to determine the optimal path from the sources to the destinations.

The distance accumulation raster is usually created with the arcgis.raster.functions.gbl.distance_accumulation or arcgis.raster.functions.gbl.distance_allocation functions. Each cell in the distance accumulation raster represents the minimum accumulative cost distance over a surface from each cell to a set of source cells.

input_back_direction_raster

Required ImageryLayer object. Portal Item can be passed. The back direction raster contains calculated directions in degrees. The direction identifies the next cell along the optimal path back to the least accumulative cost source while avoiding barriers.

The range of values is from 0 degrees to 360 degrees, with 0 reserved for the source cells. Due east (right) is 90, and the values increase clockwise (180 is south, 270 is west, and 360 is north)

destination_field

Optional string. The field to be used to obtain values for the destination locations.

path_type

Optional string. A keyword defining the manner in which the values and zones on the input destination data will be interpreted in the cost path calculations.

  • EACH_ZONE - For each zone on the input destination data, a least-cost path is determined

    and saved on the output raster. With this option, the least-cost path for each zone begins at the cell with the lowest cost distance weighting in the zone.

    This is the default.

  • BEST_SINGLE - For all cells on the input destination data, the least-cost path is derived

    from the cell with the minimum of the least-cost paths to source cells.

  • EACH_CELL - For each cell with valid values on the input destination data, a least-cost

    path is determined and saved on the output raster. With this option, each cell of the input destination data is treated separately, and a least-cost path is determined for each from cell.

output_feature_name

Optional. If not provided, a feature layer is created by the method and used as the output.

You can pass in an existing feature layer Item from your GIS to use that instead.

Alternatively, you can pass in the name of the output feature layer that should be created by this method to be used as the output for the tool. A RuntimeError is raised if a service by that name already exists

context

Optional dict. Context contains additional settings that affect task execution.

create_network_paths

Optional string or boolean. Specifies whether complete, and possibly overlapping, paths from the destinations to the sources are calculated or if nonoverlapping network paths are created.

DESTINATIONS_TO_SOURCES (False): Complete paths from the destinations

to the sources are calculated, which can be overlapping. This is default.

NETWORK_PATHS (True): Nonoverlapping network paths are calculated.

Parameter available in ArcGIS Image Server 10.9 and higher.

gis

Keyword only parameter. Optional GIS object. If not specified, the currently active connection is used.

future

Keyword only parameter. Optional boolean. If True, the result will be a GPJob object and results will be returned asynchronously.

folder

Keyword only parameter. Optional str or dict. Creates a folder in the portal, if it does not exist, with the given folder name and persists the output in this folder. The dictionary returned by the gis.content.create_folder() can also be passed in as input.

{‘username’: ‘user1’, ‘id’: ‘6a3b77c187514ef7873ba73338cf1af8’, ‘title’: ‘trial’}

Returns

Output Feature Layer Item

optimal_region_connections

arcgis.raster.analytics.optimal_region_connections(input_region_data, input_barrier_data=None, input_cost_raster=None, distance_method='PLANAR', connections_within_regions='GENERATE_CONNECTIONS', output_optimal_lines_name=None, output_neighbor_connections_name=None, context=None, *, gis=None, future=False, **kwargs)

Calculates the optimal connectivity network between two or more input regions. Function available in ArcGIS Image Server 10.8.1 and higher.

Argument

Description

input_region_data

Required ImageryLayer or Feature Layer object. Portal Item can be passed. The input regions to be connected by the optimal network.

If the region input is a raster, the regions are defined by groups of contiguous (adjacent) cells of the same value. Each region must be uniquely numbered. The cells that are not part of any region must be NoData. The raster type must be integer, and the values can be either positive or negative.

If the region input is a feature dataset, it can be polygons, lines, or points. Polygon feature regions cannot be composed of multipart polygons.

input_barrier_data

Required ImageryLayer or Feature Layer object. Portal Item can be passed. The dataset that defines the barriers.

The barriers can be defined by an integer or a floating-point raster, or by a feature layer.

input_cost_raster

Required ImageryLayer object. Portal Item can be passed. A raster defining the impedance or cost to move planimetrically through each cell.

The value at each cell location represents the cost-per-unit distance for moving through the cell. Each cell location value is multiplied by the cell resolution while also compensating for diagonal movement to obtain the total cost of passing through the cell.

The values of the cost raster can be integer or floating point, but they cannot be negative or zero (you cannot have a negative or zero cost).

distance_method

Optional String. Specifies whether to calculate the distance using a planar (flat earth) or a geodesic (ellipsoid) method.

  • PLANAR - The distance calculation will be performed on a projected

    flat plane using a 2D Cartesian coordinate system. This is the default.

  • GEODESIC - The distance calculation will be performed on the ellipsoid.

    Therefore, regardless of input or output projection, the results do not change.

connections_within_regions

Optional string. Default - GENERATE_CONNECTIONS Possible options: GENERATE_CONNECTIONS, NO_CONNECTIONS

output_optimal_lines_name

Optional. If not provided, a feature layer is created by the method and used as the output. You can pass in an existing feature layer Item from your GIS to use that instead. Alternatively, you can pass in the name of the output feature layer that should be created by this method to be used as the output for the tool. A RuntimeError is raised if a service by that name already exists

This is the output polyline feature class of the optimal network of paths necessary to connect each of the input regions.

Each path (or line) is uniquely numbered, and additional fields in the attribute table store specific information about the path. Those fields are the following:

  • PATHID - Unique identifier for the path

  • PATHCOST - Total accumulative distance or cost for the path

  • REGION1 - The first region the path connects

  • REGION2 - The other region the path connects

This information provides insight into the paths within the network.

Since each path is represented by a unique line, there will be multiple lines in locations where paths travel the same route.

output_neighbor_connections_name

Optional. If not provided, a feature layer is created by the method and used as the output. You can pass in an existing feature layer Item from your GIS to use that instead. Alternatively, you can pass in the name of the output feature layer that should be created by this method to be used as the output for the tool. A RuntimeError is raised if a service by that name already exists

This is the output polyline feature class identifying all paths from each region to each of its closest or cost neighbors.

Each path (or line) is uniquely numbered, and additional fields in the attribute table store specific information about the path. Those fields are the following:

  • PATHID - Unique identifier for the path

  • PATHCOST - Total accumulative distance or cost for the path

  • REGION1 - The first region the path connects

  • REGION2 - The other region the path connects

This information provides insight into the paths within the network and is particularly useful when deciding which paths should be removed if necessary.

Since each path is represented by a unique line, there will be multiple lines in locations where paths travel the same route.
