Geoprocessing tools

A large number of geoprocessing tools are provided with the Image Analyst extension. These tools are grouped into categories of related functionality in the following table and associated toolsets.

Change Detection

The Change Detection toolset contains tools that perform change detection between raster datasets.

Tools in the Change Detection toolset
Tool	Description
Analyze Changes Using CCDC	Evaluates changes in pixel values over time using the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) method and generates a change analysis raster containing the model results.
Analyze Changes Using LandTrendr	Evaluates changes in pixel values over time using the Landsat-based detection of trends in disturbance and recovery (LandTrendr) method and generates a change analysis raster containing the model results.
Compute Change Raster	Calculates the absolute, relative, or categorical difference between two raster datasets.
Detect Change Using Change Analysis Raster	Generates a raster containing pixel change information using the output change analysis raster from the Analyze Changes Using CCDC tool or the Analyze Changes Using LandTrendr tool.

Classification and Pattern Recognition

The Classification and Pattern Recognition tools find, identify, and quantify patterns in imagery data. You can perform classic statistical and advanced machine learning image classification and regression analysis on segmented and pixel-based raster datasets. Additional tools are provided to perform training set and classification accuracy and refinement of class maps. The following table lists the available Classification and Pattern Recognition tools and provides a brief description of each.

Tools of the Classification and Pattern Recognition toolset
Tool	Description
Classify Raster	Classifies a raster dataset based on an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) and raster dataset inputs. The .ecd file contains all the information needed to perform a specific type of Esri-supported classification. The inputs to this tool must match the inputs used to generate the required .ecd file.
Compute Confusion Matrix	Computes a confusion matrix with errors of omission and commission and derives a kappa index of agreement and an overall accuracy between the classified map and the reference data.
Compute Segment Attributes	Computes a set of attributes associated with the segmented image. The input raster can be a single-band or 3-band, 8-bit segmented image.
Create Accuracy Assessment Points	Creates randomly sampled points for post-classification accuracy assessment.
Generate Training Samples From Seed Points	Generates training samples from seed points, such as accuracy assessment points or training sample points. A typical use case is generating training samples from an existing source, such as a thematic raster or a feature class.
Inspect Training Samples	Estimates the accuracy of individual training samples. The cross validation accuracy is computed using the previously generated classification training result in an .ecd file and the training samples. Outputs include a raster dataset containing the misclassified class values and a training sample dataset with the accuracy score for each training sample.
Linear Spectral Unmixing	Performs subpixel classification and calculates the fractional abundance of different land cover types for individual pixels.
Predict Using Regression Model	Predicts data values using the output from the Train Random Trees Regression Model tool.
Remove Raster Segment Tiling Artifacts	Corrects segments or objects cut by tile boundaries during the segmentation process performed as a raster function. This tool is helpful for some regional processes, such as image segmentation, that have inconsistencies near image tile boundaries. This processing step is included in the Segment Mean Shift tool; it should only be used on a segmented image that was not created from that tool.
Segment Mean Shift	Groups into segments adjacent pixels that have similar spectral characteristics.
Train Iso Cluster Classifier	Generates an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) using the Iso Cluster classification definition.
Train Maximum Likelihood Classifier	Generates an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) classification definition.
Train Random Trees Classifier	Generates an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) using the Random Trees classification method.
Train Random Trees Regression Model	Models the relationship between explanatory variables and a target dataset using random trees analysis.
Train Support Vector Machine Classifier	Generates an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification definition.
Update Accuracy Assessment Points	Updates the Target field in the attribute table to compare reference points to the classified image.

Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning	Runs a trained deep learning model on an input raster to produce a classified raster, with each valid pixel having an assigned class label.
Compute Accuracy For Object Detection	Calculates the accuracy of a deep learning model by comparing the detected objects from the Detect Objects Using Deep Learning tool to ground truth data.
Detect Objects Using Deep Learning	Runs a trained deep learning model on an input raster to produce a feature class containing the objects it finds. The features can be bounding boxes or polygons around the objects found or points at the centers of the objects.
Export Training Data For Deep Learning	Converts labeled vector or raster data to deep learning training datasets using a remote sensing image. The output is a folder of image chips and a folder of metadata files in the specified format.
Non Maximum Suppression	Identifies duplicate features from the output of the Detect Objects Using Deep Learning tool as a postprocessing step and creates a new output with duplicates removed.
Train Deep Learning Model	Trains a deep learning model using the output from the Export Training Data For Deep Learning tool.

Extraction

The Extraction toolset allows you to extract a subset of pixels from a raster by the pixels' attributes or their spatial location.

Tools in the Extraction toolset
Tool	Description
Sample	Creates a table or a point feature class that shows the values of cells from a raster, or a set of rasters, for defined locations. The locations are defined by raster cells, points, polylines, or polygons.

Map Algebra

Map algebra is a way to perform raster analysis by creating expressions in an algebraic language. Expressions are created with the Raster Calculator tool, which enables you to build expressions that output a raster dataset. The Raster Calculator builds and executes a single map algebra expression using Python syntax.
