Import Mosaic Dataset Geometry (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Modifies the geometry for the footprints, boundary, or seamlines in a mosaic dataset to match those in a feature class.

Illustration

Image clipped to footprint

Usage

  • This tool matches the feature in the mosaic dataset with the feature in the feature class based on a common attribute field.

  • The footprint is not always used to clip the image in the mosaic dataset. You can change the Always Clip The Image To Its Footprint property in the Mosaic Dataset Properties dialog box on the Defaults tab.

  • If the Input Feature Class has more than 1,000 records, you should add an index on the Input Join Field by running the Add Attribute Index tool. If your mosaic dataset is very large and the join field is not indexed, the tool will take much longer to complete.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Mosaic Dataset

The mosaic dataset whose geometries you want to edit.

Mosaic Layer

Target Feature Class

The geometry that you want to change.

  • Footprint—The footprint polygons in the mosaic dataset

  • Seamline—The seamline polygons in the mosaic dataset

  • Boundary—The boundary polygon in the mosaic dataset

String

Target Join Field

The field in the mosaic dataset to use as a basis for the join.

Field

Input Feature Class

The feature class with the new geometry.

Feature Layer

Input Join Field

The field in the Input Feature Class to use as a basis for the join.

If the Input Feature Class has more than 1,000 records, add an index on this field by running the Add_Attribute_Index tool. If your mosaic dataset is very large and the join field is not indexed, the tool will take much longer to complete.

Field

Derived output

Label Explanation Data type
