Create Pansharpened Raster Dataset (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Combines a high-resolution panchromatic raster dataset with a lower-resolution multiband raster dataset to create a high-resolution multiband raster dataset for visual analysis.

Usage

  • Only the areas that fully overlap will be affected by this tool.

  • You can save the output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, Esri Grid, GIF, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, MRF, or CRF format or to any geodatabase raster dataset.

  • The four weight values assigned to the blue, green, red, and infrared bands allow you to adjust the pan-sharpening algorithms.

  • Pan sharpening performed on a three-band raster dataset will produce a raster dataset that has three bands. Pan sharpening performed on a four-band raster dataset will produce a raster dataset that has four bands.

Parameters

Output Raster Dataset

The name, location, and format of the raster dataset that will be created.

When storing the raster dataset in a file format, specify the file extension as follows:

When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, do not add a file extension to the name of the raster dataset. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you must specify the file extension:

  • .bil for Esri BIL

  • .bip for Esri BIP

  • .bmp for BMP

  • .bsq for Esri BSQ

  • .dat for ENVI DAT

  • .gif for GIF

  • .img for ERDAS IMAGINE

  • .jpg for JPEG

  • .jp2 for JPEG 2000

  • .png for PNG

  • .tif for TIFF

  • .mrf for MRF

  • .crf for CRF

  • No extension for Esri Grid

When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, do not add a file extension to the name of the raster dataset.

When storing a raster dataset to a JPEG format file, a JPEG 2000 format file, a TIFF format file, or a geodatabase, you can specify Compression Type and Compression Quality values in the geoprocessing environments.

Raster Dataset

Panchromatic Image

The higher-resolution panchromatic image.
