arcgis.raster module

The arcgis.raster module contains classes and 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. It 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() to check if raster analysis is supported in your GIS.

ImageryLayer

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

The ImageryLayer class can be used to represent an image service resource as a layer.

An ImageryLayer object retrieves and displays data from image services. ImageryLayer allows you to apply server-defined or client-defined raster functions (e.g. remap, colormap), and mosaic rules.

ImageryLayer objects can also be created using raster datasets or raster products present in datastores registered with the server/active GIS (types: fileShares, cloudStores, rasterStores). To learn more about datastores, visit the What is ArcGIS Data Store? page in the ArcGIS Enterprise documentation.

Usage: arcgis.raster.ImageryLayer(url, gis=gis)

Argument	Description
url	Required string. The input raster path Example: url = “https://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/ImageServiceName/ImageServer” url = “/fileShares/file_share_name/path/to/raster” url = “/cloudStores/cloud_store_name/path/to/raster” url = “https://sentinel-cogs.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/43/M/BP/2021/6/S2A_43MBP_20210622_0_L2A/B08.tif” Note When working with datastore rasters or non image service urls, RasterRendering service should be enabled in the active GIS connection
gis	Optional GIS. GIS of the ImageryLayer object.

# Example Usage

# Imagery layer items are available as content in the GIS. Items can be searched using gis.content.search()
# This snippet creates an imagery layer using the 'layers' property of the searched Imagery Layer Item

# Create an imagery layer from an image service url
img_lyr = ImageryLayer("https://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/ImageServiceName/ImageServer", gis=gis)

# Create an imagery layer from a .tif file present in user's registered fileShare datastore
# (Requires RasterRendering service to be enabled in the active GIS)
img_lyr = ImageryLayer("/fileShares/data/Amberg.tif", gis=gis)

# Create an imagery layer from a publicly accesible Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF
# (Requires RasterRendering service to be enabled in the active GIS)

image_sr	optional string, SpatialReference. The spatial reference of the exported image. The spatial reference can be specified as either a well-known ID, it’s json representation or as an SpatialReference object. If the image_sr is not specified, the image will be exported in the spatial reference of the imagery layer.
bbox_sr	optional string, SpatialReference. The spatial reference of the bbox. The spatial reference can be specified as either a well-known ID, it’s json representation or as an arcgis.geometry.SpatialReference object. If the image_sr is not specified, bbox is assumed to be in the spatial reference of the imagery layer.

plot_histograms(geometry=None, pixel_size=None, time=None, bands=[], display_stats=True, plot_properties=None, subplot_properties=None)

The plot_histograms method is used to plot the histograms for the ImageryLayer.

Image histograms visually summarize the distribution of a continuous numeric variable by measuring the frequency at which certain values appear in the image. The x-axis in the image histogram is a number line that displays the range of image pixel values that has been split into number ranges, or bins. A bar is drawn for each bin, and the width of the bar represents the density number range of the bin; the height of the bar represents the number of pixels that fall into that range. Understanding the distribution of your data is an important step in the data exploration process.

This method can be used for plotting the band-wise image histogram charts of any ImageryLayer published with mosaic datasets or a raster dataset.

ImageryTileManager

class arcgis.raster.ImageryTileManager(imglyr)

Manages the tiles for Cached Imagery Layers.

Note

This class is not created by users directly. An instance of this class, called tiles , is available as a property of an ImageryLayer object. Users call methods on this tiles object to create and access tiles from an ImageryLayer.

Argument	Description
imglyr	required ImageLayer. The imagery layer object that is cached.

estimate_size(tile_package=False, extent=None, optimize_for_size=True, compression=75, export_by='LevelID', levels=None, aoi=None)

The estimate_size operation is an asynchronous task that allows estimation of the size of the tile package or the cache data set that you download using the Export Tiles operation. This operation can also be used to estimate the tile count in a tile package and determine if it will exceced the maxExportTileCount limit set by the administrator of the layer. The result of this operation is the response size. This job response contains reference to the Image Layer Result method that returns the total size of the cache to be exported (in bytes) and the number of tiles that will be exported.

Argument	Description
tile_package	optional boolean. If the value is true output will be in tile package format and if the value is false Cache Raster data set is returned. The default value is false
extent	optional string. The extent (bounding box) of the tile package or the cache dataset to be exported. If extent does not include a spatial reference, the extent values are assumed to be in the spatial reference of the map. The default value is full extent of the tiled map service. Syntax: <xmin>, <ymin>, <xmax>, <ymax> Example: -104,35.6,-94.32,41
optimize_for_size	optional boolean. Use this parameter to enable compression of JPEG tiles and reduce the size of the downloaded tile package or the cache raster data set. Compressing tiles slightly compromises on the quality of tiles but helps reduce the size of the download. Try out sample compressions to determine the optimal compression before using this feature.
compression	optional integer. When optimizeTilesForSize=true you can specify a compression factor. The value must be between 0 and 100. Default is 75.
export_by	optional string. The criteria that will be used to select the tile service levels to export. The values can be Level IDs, cache scales or the Resolution (in the case of image services). Values: LevelID,Resolution,Scale Default: LevelID
levels	optional string. Specify the tiled service levels to export. The values should correspond to Level IDs, cache scales or the Resolution as specified in exportBy parameter. The values can be comma separated values or a range. Example 1: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Example 2: 1-4,7-9
aoi	optional Polygon. The areaOfInterest Polygon allows exporting tiles within the specified polygon areas. Note This parameter supersedes extent parameter.

Image histograms visually summarize the distribution of a continuous numeric variable by measuring the frequency at which certain values appear in the image. The x-axis in the image histogram is a number line that displays the range of image pixel values that has been split into number ranges, or bins. A bar is drawn for each bin, and the width of the bar represents the density number range of the bin; the height of the bar represents the number of pixels that fall into that range. Understanding the distribution of your data is an important step in the data exploration process.

plot_histograms can be used for plotting the band-wise image histogram charts of any Raster object.

Arguments	Description
geometry	Optional Geometry (Polygon or Envelope). A geometry that defines the geometry within which the histogram is computed. If not provided, then the full extent of the raster will be used for the computation. Note: This parameter is honoured if the raster uses image_server engine.

If pixel size is not specified, then pixel_size will default to the base resolution of the dataset. The structure of the pixel_size parameter is the same as the structure of the point object returned by the ArcGIS REST API. In addition to the dictionary structure, you can specify the pixel size with a comma-separated string. Syntax: - dictionary structure: pixel_size={point} - Point simple syntax: pixel_size=’<x>,<y>’ Examples: - pixel_size={“x”: 0.18, “y”: 0.18} - pixel_size=’0.18,0.18’ Note: This parameter is honoured if the raster uses “image_server” engine.

RasterManager

class arcgis.raster.RasterManager(imglyr)

The RasterManager class allows users to update, add, and delete rasters to an ImageryLayer object.

The functions are only available if the layer has ‘Edit’ on it’s capabilities property.

Note

This class is not created by users directly. An instance of this class, called rasters, is available as a property of an ImageryLayer object. Users call methods on this rasters object to update, add and delete rasters from an ImageryLayer.

Argument	Description
imglyr	required ImageryLayer object. The imagery layer object where ‘Edit’ is in the capabilities.

The add operation is performed on an image layer method, adding new rasters to an image layer. (POST only). The added rasters can either be uploaded items, using the item_ids parameter, or published services, using the service_url parameter. If item_ids is specified, uploaded rasters are copied to the image layer’s dynamic image workspace location; if the service_url is specified, the image layer adds the URL to the mosaic dataset no raster files are copied. The service_url is required input for the following raster types: Image Layer, Map Service, WCS, and WMS.

RasterCollection

class arcgis.raster.RasterCollection(rasters=None, attribute_dict=None, where_clause=None, query_geometry=None, engine=None, gis=None, context=None)

The RasterCollection object allows a group of rasters to be sorted and filtered easily, and prepares a collection for additional processing and analysis.

Argument	Description
rasters	The input raster datasets. Supported inputs include a list of local or datastore rasters, a mosaic dataset, a multidimensional raster in Cloud Raster Format, a NetCDF file, or an image service. If you’re using a list of raster datasets, all rasters must have the same cell size and spatial reference. arcpy should be available if the input is a local raster dataset.
attribute_dict	Optional dict. attribute information to be added to each raster, when the input is a list of rasters. For each key-value pair, the key is the attribute name and the value is a list of values that represent the attribute value for each raster. For example, to add a name field to a list of three rasters, use {“name”: [“Landsat8_Jan”, “Landsat8_Feb”, “Landsat8_Mar”]}.
where_clause	Optional string. An expression that limits the records returned.
query_geometry	Optional. An object that filters the items such that only those that intersect with the object will be returned.
engine	Optional string. The backend engine to be used. Possible options: arcpy : Use the arcpy engine for processing. image_server : Use the Image Server engine for processing.
gis	Optional GIS of the RasterCollection object.
context	Optional. Additional properties to control the creation of RasterCollection. The context parameter would be honoured by all other collections created from this i.e., the map/filter outputs. The filter/map methods also support the context parameter which can be configured separately for each method. Currently available: query_boundary: The boolean value set to this option determines whether to add SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. The value in the SHAPE field represents the boundary/geometry of the raster. The query_boundary parameter is honoured only when the RasterCollection is created from a list of Rasters. True: Set query_boundary to True to add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. False: Set query_boundary to False to not add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. (Creation of RasterCollection would be faster) By default, query_boundary is set to True, i.e, SHAPE field will be added. Example: {“query_boundary”:True}

# Usage Example 1: Creates a raster collection from image service url
service_url = gis.content.search('my_rasters', item_type="Imagery Layer")[0].url

Argument	Description
quality_rc_or_list	Required. The RasterCollection or list of rasters to be used as quality indicators. For example, Landsat 8’s Band 1 is the Coastal/Aerosol band, which can be used to estimate the concentration of fine aerosol particles such as smoke and haze in the atmosphere. For a collection of Landsat 8 images, use the select_bands method to return a RasterCollection object containing only Band 1 from each raster item. The number of raster items in the quality_rc_or_list must match the number of raster items in the raster collection to be mosaicked.
statistic_type	Required string. The statistic used to compare the input collection or list of quality rasters. MAX - The highest pixel value in the input quality rasters will be the pixel value in the output raster. This is the default. MEDIAN - The median pixel value in the input quality rasters will be the pixel value in the output raster. MIN - The minimum pixel value in the input quality rasters will be the pixel value in the output raster. Note For example, to mosaic the input raster collection such that those with the lowest aerosol content are on top, use the MIN statistic type.

Returns

a Raster object

select_bands(band_ids_or_names, context=None)

The select_bands method selects a list of bands from every Raster item in a RasterCollection and returns a raster collection that contains Raster items with only the selected bands.

Argument	Description
band_ids_or_names	Required. The names or index numbers of bands to be included in the returned raster items. This can be specified with a single string, integer, or a list of strings or integers.
context	Optional dictionary. Additional properties to control the creation of RasterCollection. The default value for the context parameter would be the same as that of the context settings applied to the parent collection. Currently available: query_boundary: This boolean value set to this option determines whether to add SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. The value in the SHAPE field represents the boundary/geometry of the raster. The query_boundary parameter is honoured only when the RasterCollection is created from a list of Rasters. True: Set query_boundary to True to add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. False: Set query_boundary to False to not add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. (Creation of RasterCollection would be faster) Example: {“query_boundary”:True}

Returns

A RasterCollection that contains Raster items with only the selected bands.

set_engine(engine)

The set_engine method can be used to change the back end engine of the RasterCollection.

sort(field_name, ascending=True, context=None)

The sort method sorts the RasterCollection by a field name and returns a RasterCollection that is in the order specified.

Argument	Description
field_name	Required string. The name of the field to use for sorting.
ascending	Optional bool. Specifies whether to sort in ascending or descending order. (The default value is True)
context	Optional dictionary. Additional properties to control the creation of RasterCollection. The default value for the context parameter would be the same as that of the context settings applied to the parent collection. Currently available: query_boundary: This boolean value set to this option determines whether to add SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. The value in the SHAPE field represents the boundary/geometry of the raster. The query_boundary parameter is honoured only when the RasterCollection is created from a list of Rasters. True: Set query_boundary to True to add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. False: Set query_boundary to False to not add the SHAPE field to the RasterCollection. (Creation of RasterCollection would be faster) Example: {“query_boundary”:True}

Returns

A sorted RasterCollection object

sum(ignore_nodata=True)

The sum method returns a Raster object in which each band contains the sum of pixel values for that band across all rasters in the RasterCollection.

For example, if there are ten raster items in the raster collection, each with four bands, the sum method will calculate the sum of pixel values for each pixel that occurs across all raster items for band 1, band 2, band 3, and band 4; a four-band raster is returned. Band numbers are matched between raster items using the band index, so the items in the raster collection must follow the same band order.

Argument	Description
ignore_nodata	Optional Boolean. Specifies whether NoData values are ignored. True : The method will include all valid pixels and ignore any NoData pixels. This is the default. False : The method will result in NoData if there are any NoData values.

Returns

A Raster object

to_multidimensional_raster(variable_field_name, dimension_field_names)

The to_multidimensional_raster method returns a multidimensional raster dataset, in which each item in the RasterCollection is a slice in the multidimensional raster.

Argument	Description
variable_field_name	Required string. The name of the field that contains the variable names.
dimension_field_names	Required string. The name of the field or fields that contains the dimension names. This can be specified as a single string or a list of strings. For time-related dimensions, the field name must match one of the following to be recognized as a time field: StdTime, Date, Time, or AcquisitionDate. For nontime-related dimensions, the values in those fields must be type Double. If there are two or more dimensions, use a comma to separate the fields (for example, dimension_field_names = [“Time”, “Depth”]).

Returns

A Raster object

# Usage Example: Generates a multidimensional raster from the raster collection.

multidim_raster = rc.to_multidimensional_raster(variable_field_name="Name",
                                                dimension_field_name="AcquisitionDate")

RasterInfo

class arcgis.raster.RasterInfo(raster_info_dict=None)

The RasterInfo class allows for creation of a RasterInfo object that describes a set of raster properties to facilitate the creation of local raster dataset using the Raster class

Note

The RasterInfo class requires ArcPy

A RasterInfo object can be created by instantiating it from a dictionary, or by calling an ImageryLayer or Raster object’s raster_info property.

Information about the raster can also be set through the following properties available on the RasterInfo object: band_count, extent, pixel_size_x, pixel_size_y, pixel_type, block_height, block_width, no_data_values, spatial_reference

To construct a RasterInfo object from a dictionary, use the from_dict method on this class.

# Usage Example 1: This example creates a new Raster object from the raster_info of another Raster object. (requires arcpy)
raster_obj = Raster(<raster dataset path>)
ras_info = RasterInfo(raster_obj.raster_info)
rinfo_based_ras = Raster(rasInfo2)

#To write pixel values to this temporary Raster object:
rinfo_based_ras.write(<numpy_array>)

#To save this temporary raster locally:
rinfo_based_ras.save(r"C:\data\persisted_raster.crf")

RasterInfo object can also be used in raster functions that take in raster info as a parameter. (does not require arcpy) example: As value to the raster_info parameter for arcgis.raster.functions.constant_raster() and arcgis.raster.functions.random_raster()

from_dict(raster_info_dict)

The from_dict method can be used to initialise a RasterInfo object from a raster info dictionary.

# Usage Example :
rinfo = RasterInfo()
rinfo.from_dict({'bandCount': 3,
                 'extent': {"xmin": 4488761.95,
