Export Mosaic Dataset Items (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Saves a copy of processed images in a mosaic dataset to a specified folder and raster file format.

The following are the two common workflows that use this tool:

  • Export each selected item of a mosaic dataset to a new file. This allows you to have each processed item as a stand-alone file. You must set the appropriate NoData value for the exported items so there are no dark borders.

  • Export each selected image within a time series mosaic dataset based on an area of interest. This allows you to only export the area of interest from each time slice.

Usage

  • By default, all items will be exported to the specified folder. Use the Query Definition parameter or interactively select specific records in the mosaic dataset to export a subset of the images.

  • The images will be exported with all the processing from the function chains applied. Only the function chains at the item level are applied; function chains at the mosaic dataset level are ignored. This tool does not export the raw source images.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Mosaic Dataset

The mosaic dataset that contains the images that will be exported.

Mosaic Layer

Output Folder

The folder where the images will be saved.

Folder

Output Base Name

(Optional)

A prefix that will be added to the name of each item after it is copied. The prefix will be followed by the Object ID value from the mosaic dataset footprints table.

If no base name is set, the text in the Name field of the mosaic dataset item will be used.

String

Query Definition

(Optional)

An SQL expression that will be used to save selected images in the mosaic dataset.

SQL Expression

Output Format

(Optional)

Specifies the format that will be used for the output raster datasets.

  • TIFF—TIFF format will be used. This is the default.

  • Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF—Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF format will be used.

  • BMP—BMP format will be used.

  • ENVI DAT—ENVI DAT format will be used.

  • Esri BIL—Esri BIL format will be used.

  • Esri BIP—Esri BIP format will be used.

  • Esri BSQ—Esri BSQ format will be used.

  • GIF—GIF format will be used.

  • Esri Grid—Esri Grid format will be used.

  • ERDAS IMAGINE—ERDAS IMAGINE format will be used.

  • JPEG 2000—JPEG 2000 format will be used.

  • JPEG—JPEG format will be used.

  • PNG—PNG format will be used.

  • Cloud raster format—Cloud raster format will be used.

  • Meta raster format—Meta raster format will be used.

String

NoData Value

(Optional)

All the pixels with the specified value will be set to NoData in the output raster dataset.

It is recommended that you specify a NoData value if the output images will be clipped.

String

Clip Type

(Optional)

Specifies the output extent that will be used for the raster datasets. If you specify an extent or feature class that covers an area larger than the raster data, the output will have the larger extent.

  • No clipping—The output will not be clipped. This is the default.

  • Clip to extent—An extent will be used to clip the output.

  • Clip to feature class—A feature class extent will be used to clip the output.

String

Clipping Template

(Optional)

The feature class or bounding box that will be used to limit the extent.

  • Current Display Extent Map View—The extent will be based on the active map or scene.

  • Draw Extent Square and Finish—The extent will be based on a rectangle drawn on the map or scene.

  • Extent of a Layer Layer—The extent will be based on an active map layer. Choose an available layer or use the Extent of data in all layers option. Each map layer has the following options:

    • All Features Select All—The extent of all features.

    • Selected Features Area from Selected Features—The extent of the selected features.

    • Visible Features Extent Indicator—The extent of visible features.

  • Browse Browse—The extent will be based on a dataset.

  • Clipboard Paste—The extent can be copied to and from the clipboard.

    • Copy Extent Copy—Copies the extent and coordinate system to the clipboard.

    • Paste Extent Paste—Pastes the extent and coordinate system from the clipboard. If the clipboard does not include a coordinate system, the extent will use the map's coordinate system.

  • Reset Extent Reset—The extent will be reset to the default value.

When coordinates are manually provided, the coordinates must be numeric values and in the active map's coordinate system. The map may use different display units than the provided coordinates. Use a negative value sign for south and west coordinates.

Extent

Cell Size

(Optional)

The horizontal (x) and vertical (y) dimensions of the output cells.

If the cell size is not provided, the spatial resolution of the input will be used.

Point

Export images to image space

(Optional)

Specifies whether raster items will be exported in map space or image space.

  • Checked—Raster items will be exported in image space.

  • Unchecked—Raster items will be exported in map space. This is the default.

Boolean

Remove image distortions

(Optional)

Specifies whether lens distortion will be removed from the exported raster in image space.

  • Checked—Lens distortion will be removed from the exported raster in image space.

  • Unchecked—Lens distortion will not be removed from the exported raster in image space. This is the default.

Boolean

Band Method

(Optional)

Specifies the method that will be used to select bands.

This parameter is enabled when the Export images to image space parameter is checked.

  • All bands—All bands will be exported. This is the default.

  • Band IDs—Bands will be exported based on the Band ID Selection parameter value.

  • Band names—Bands will be exported based on the Band Name Selection parameter value.

String

Band Name Selection

(Optional)

The name of the band that will be exported from the input mosaic dataset.

This parameter is enabled when the Band Method parameter is set to Band names.

Value Table

Band ID Selection

(Optional)

The ID number of the band that will be exported from the input mosaic dataset.

This parameter is enabled when the Band Method parameter is set to Band IDs.

Value Table

Label Explanation Data type

Updated Output Folder

The updated output folder.
