Raster Mosaic

Instructions for Use

Raster Mosaic refers to the combination of two or more Raster Datasets into one Raster Dataset with reference to the GCS.

As shown in the above figure, Raster Mosaic is performed on two Raster Datasets with the same GCS as the reference. For the overlapping part, the result is the minimum value of the All Data set.

Parameter Description

Parameter name Default Parameter description Parameter type
Raster Dataset to be mounted   Raster Dataset to be mounted. Note that the grids to be mosaicked must have the same coordinate system and must have the same number of bands. Dataset[ ]
Background or null -9999 If it is image data, it will be used as the background. Double
Background Tolerance 0 Specified Grid Background or No Value Tolerance Double
Value of Overlapping Area Value of the First Dataset Value of Overlapping Area in Tessellation RasterJoinType
Result Pixel Format Same as first dataset Result Pixel Format for Raster Data RasterJoinPixel Format
Resolution 0 Cell size for Result Dataset. The default value is 0, which means that the minimum resolution in all Input Data: sets will be used as the Result Raster resolution. Double
Datasource of the output data   Name of the specified Result Datasource Datasource
Name of Export Dataset   Resulting dataset name specified by String

Application Scenario

Such as: time cost calculation

The Raster Mosaic tool can be used when you want to get the minimum transit time cost grid for an area. Prepare Raster Data of national roads, provincial roads, regions, and high-speed rail times that contain travel time per unit length.

Input Data::

Calculate the Raster Data with the smallest value in the overlapping area through the mosaic tool (select Min of all the datasets for the value in the overlapping area). In this way, the minimum cost among several Datasets is obtained, which is the target time cost.

Result:
