1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,550 - [Brian] In part two of our lecture, 2 00:00:01,550 --> 00:00:03,510 I'll demonstrate some of the lecture concepts 3 00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:05,723 that we saw in the last slide deck. 4 00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:08,350 We'll look at both vector 5 00:00:08,350 --> 00:00:11,150 and raster geo processing operations. 6 00:00:11,150 --> 00:00:12,450 On the vector side, 7 00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:15,460 we'll use some parcel data to explore the union, merge 8 00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:17,930 and append geo processing tools. 9 00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:19,053 On the raster side, 10 00:00:19,938 --> 00:00:21,550 we'll work with some digital elevation models 11 00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:24,560 to create a mosaic and add rasters. 12 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,763 We'll also explore the append tool for raster data as well. 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,510 If we switch gears here and look at the ArcGIS Interface, 14 00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:39,120 we see we've got two parcel datasets, 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,340 Waitsfield Parcels Standardized shown in light green, 16 00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:46,190 and Warren Fayston Parcels shown in a darker green. 17 00:00:46,190 --> 00:00:48,670 Remember the end goal here is to produce 18 00:00:48,670 --> 00:00:51,630 a single unified parcel dataset 19 00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:54,310 that we could use for our analysis. 20 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:56,680 Let's first look at the attribute tables 21 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,580 of the two different datasets we have, 22 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,018 Our Waitsfield Parcels Standardized dataset 23 00:01:02,018 --> 00:01:05,100 contains a number of different attributes 24 00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:06,970 related to the grand list, 25 00:01:06,970 --> 00:01:10,773 Vermont's tax rolls collected at the town level. 26 00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:15,630 If we look at our Warren Fayston Parcels attributes 27 00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:18,990 we see a significantly shorter list. 28 00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:22,033 Looks like just the key items out of that grand list. 29 00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:25,510 Now this won't affect our union operation, 30 00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:27,840 but think about how choosing 31 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,870 the appropriate right first input dataset 32 00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:34,190 might affect the merge and append operations. 33 00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:37,000 And we'll take a look at those both in a minute. 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,350 Let's start with the union. 35 00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:43,560 Again, think about the fact that we want to combine 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,560 our parcels data into a single cohesive parcel dataset 37 00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:52,170 where all the attributes match up. 38 00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:55,203 And there are no repeat attributes represented in the table. 39 00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:01,043 If I union my two datasets, 40 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:19,450 we can look at the output. 41 00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:24,100 We've got a dataset now called parcels union, 42 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:29,100 and if we look at that attribute table, what do we see? 43 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:33,250 Well, we've got the FID from the Warren Fayston Parcels, 44 00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:35,800 and anywhere that value is greater than zero 45 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,920 indicates that it comes from the original dataset, 46 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,870 that Warren Fayston Parcels, 47 00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:44,470 and anything with a negative value indicates 48 00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:45,303 that that comes from 49 00:02:45,303 --> 00:02:47,943 the Waitsfield Parcel Standardized dataset. 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,823 If I continue to scroll over, 51 00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:57,750 we see now that we've got quite a few attributes. 52 00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:01,850 And in fact, we see if we were to interrogate slowly, 53 00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:05,590 we could see the repeat values in the attribute list. 54 00:03:05,590 --> 00:03:08,130 Let's take another look from the field interface 55 00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:11,780 to see if it's a bit easier to see what I'm talking about. 56 00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:13,700 If we scroll down, 57 00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,810 we see we've got all these value related-attributes: 58 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:21,283 Real, Hstead, NRES, Land, Improvements. 59 00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:27,263 And if I continue to scroll down here through the list, 60 00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:32,230 I see I've also got these values, 61 00:03:32,230 --> 00:03:33,973 but they all have underscore one. 62 00:03:35,361 --> 00:03:39,210 This is exactly why the union tool does not work 63 00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:41,800 for assembling these datasets. 64 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,130 We were not able to do any field mapping. 65 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:48,230 So all of the attributes from the Waitsfield dataset 66 00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:51,160 are written to the end of that attribute table. 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,340 In other words, additional attributes were created 68 00:03:54,340 --> 00:03:56,540 in the output dataset. 69 00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,090 This is pretty inefficient 70 00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:00,590 and won't really work for what we're trying to do. 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,433 Let's take a look at another possibility here, 72 00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:10,160 and we'll use the merge command this time. 73 00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:18,498 So remember how I mentioned previously 74 00:04:18,498 --> 00:04:21,860 that there were different attributes 75 00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:24,200 in each one of the datasets. 76 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,340 Remember also that it really matters 77 00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:29,820 which dataset we select first 78 00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:32,163 because with the merge tool, as we know, 79 00:04:32,163 --> 00:04:36,720 we're going to write out a new feature class, 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,280 and that new feature class, 81 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:39,980 the structure of that attribute table 82 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,840 will be based on the information 83 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,933 that's drawn from the first of your input datasets. 84 00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:52,010 Well, I like the format of the Warren Fayston Parcels data. 85 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,363 So I'm gonna enter that one first. 86 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,980 And now we see all the attributes 87 00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:00,980 in the output fields list here 88 00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:04,790 in the lower left portion of the merge dialog box. 89 00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:08,473 Now, if I add the Waitsfield Parcel Standardized, 90 00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:12,200 I can scroll down the list, 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,270 and I see a bunch of twos next to all of my categories. 92 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:16,400 That's a good sign. 93 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,310 That means that those fields have mapped from both datasets 94 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:24,550 onto that single Warren Fayston dataset. 95 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:27,879 If I scroll down further, I can also see 96 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:32,200 a list of other attributes with no numbers next to it. 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,010 All of these came from the second dataset that I entered 98 00:05:36,010 --> 00:05:39,510 into my input list, the Waitsfield Parcels. 99 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:41,070 We can just get rid of those, 100 00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:43,830 so they don't get written to the output. 101 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:46,480 If I click on the first one 102 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,573 and click on the last one that I want to get rid of, 103 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,880 click that red X, 104 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,230 and those will not be in the output dataset. 105 00:05:59,230 --> 00:06:02,090 Remember, I didn't delete anything from a dataset. 106 00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:05,010 I just told ArcGIS not to include those attributes 107 00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:06,443 in my output dataset. 108 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,793 Let's call this one parcels merge. 109 00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:17,423 Click run and evaluate our result. 110 00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:22,850 Well, that doesn't look exactly like I was hoping. 111 00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:25,100 It appears that none of the Waitsfield parcels 112 00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:27,430 were written to the output dataset. 113 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:30,223 Let's investigate to see what we can figure out here. 114 00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:33,370 I received a warning that indicates 115 00:06:33,370 --> 00:06:38,370 that ArcGIS is not able to write the Waitsfield value 116 00:06:39,397 --> 00:06:40,623 to the town attribute. 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,220 Let's check out why that might be. 118 00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:45,950 If I click on the town attribute 119 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,193 and the properties of that particular attribute, 120 00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:54,155 I notice that it's a text field, which is good, 121 00:06:54,155 --> 00:06:56,283 but it's only got a length of seven. 122 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,510 Try it in your head to spell out Waitsfield 123 00:07:00,471 --> 00:07:01,910 or count the number of letters, and you'll notice 124 00:07:01,910 --> 00:07:04,380 that it's definitely more than seven. 125 00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:05,343 It's actually 10. 126 00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:09,010 That wasn't a problem for either Fayston or Warren, 127 00:07:09,010 --> 00:07:12,370 but for Waitsfield, the length limit on the text field 128 00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:15,340 means that the whole name of the town can't be written. 129 00:07:15,340 --> 00:07:17,740 ArcGIS gets confused, and as a result, 130 00:07:17,740 --> 00:07:19,393 none of those records were added. 131 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,300 Let's try this again, but this time, 132 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:24,743 we'll set our length to 10. 133 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:27,573 Click run. 134 00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:32,290 So far so good with no warnings. 135 00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:36,070 And look here, we've produced a new dataset 136 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:39,033 with all the parcels for the matter of Valley towns. 137 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,920 If we open the attribute table, we can scroll through 138 00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:49,870 and see that short list of attributes that was included 139 00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:53,060 in that original Warren Fayston Parcels dataset. 140 00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:55,700 So one last thing to check here. 141 00:07:55,700 --> 00:08:00,263 We've got 5,474 records in our parcels merged dataset. 142 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,300 Let's just do a quick little bit of math 143 00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:07,780 to see that we've got 4,471 parcels 144 00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:10,190 in our Warren Fayston parcels dataset 145 00:08:13,630 --> 00:08:18,120 and 1,003 parcels in our Waitsfield parcels dataset. 146 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,853 So if we add those two together, 147 00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:24,743 we get that 5,474 records in the dataset. 148 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,370 We can interpret that to mean 149 00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:30,210 that all of the individual features 150 00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:33,110 of the two datasets were successfully added 151 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:35,140 to our new output dataset, 152 00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,253 the parcels merged that we just created. 153 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,700 Okay, let's look at one more example here 154 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:43,460 before we move on to our vector analysis. 155 00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:46,040 In this last example, we'll look at the difference 156 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,770 between the merge and the append tool. 157 00:08:48,770 --> 00:08:50,020 So we just ran the merge 158 00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:53,450 and successfully created a unified parcel dataset. 159 00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:56,010 Remember we had two input datasets 160 00:08:56,010 --> 00:08:59,900 and used the merge tool to produce a new output dataset. 161 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:01,313 What about the append tool? 162 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:08,090 Locate that in my geo processing pane, 163 00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:12,820 and now I need to add my input datasets here. 164 00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:14,506 Just a couple quick notes before we proceed 165 00:09:14,506 --> 00:09:16,130 with the append tool. 166 00:09:16,130 --> 00:09:19,373 Note that this tool will modify the input data. 167 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,620 We've also got two required parameters, 168 00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:27,430 an input dataset and a target dataset. 169 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:30,850 Our input dataset contains the data to be appended 170 00:09:30,850 --> 00:09:32,363 to the target dataset. 171 00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:34,990 So that means that in this case, 172 00:09:34,990 --> 00:09:37,320 our Waitsfield parcel standardized 173 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,890 would be our input dataset and that target dataset, 174 00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:44,210 the dataset where the data of the inputs will be appended 175 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,853 is going to be our Warren Fayston Parcels. 176 00:09:49,490 --> 00:09:52,393 With that, I can click run. 177 00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,670 Notice that that failed almost immediately. 178 00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:00,950 If I look at the details here, 179 00:10:00,950 --> 00:10:02,630 it indicates that the parcels, 180 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:05,820 the schema for the attribute tables do not match 181 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:07,810 between the two datasets, 182 00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:10,890 but that's what I specified for my field matching type. 183 00:10:10,890 --> 00:10:12,770 Let's change that to use the field map 184 00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:14,453 to reconcile my differences. 185 00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:19,123 That takes us back into our familiar field map list, 186 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,010 Where we can see all of the different attributes 187 00:10:28,010 --> 00:10:28,853 from before. 188 00:10:30,450 --> 00:10:31,623 Click run again, 189 00:10:34,510 --> 00:10:37,370 and this time the tool runs to completion 190 00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:39,210 but with some errors. 191 00:10:39,210 --> 00:10:42,050 It looks like it's that same issue that we had before 192 00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:44,481 where we can't write the town output, 193 00:10:44,481 --> 00:10:47,440 town name into the output table. 194 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,320 Let's try to fix that one more time 195 00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:55,453 Remembering that we needed 10 characters, not just seven. 196 00:10:58,100 --> 00:10:59,563 And click run one more time. 197 00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:04,890 It looks like we're still suffering from that same problem. 198 00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:07,830 Surprising that the append operation, 199 00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:10,083 let me change the length of the field, 200 00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:13,140 but it does not appear that that actually 201 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:16,030 that change actually took hold in the dataset. 202 00:11:16,030 --> 00:11:18,400 Okay, we got one more thing to try. 203 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,280 It's not quite time to give up just yet. 204 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,053 Let's look at our Warren Fayston Parcels dataset, 205 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,190 and check out that attribute table. 206 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:28,763 If I go into my fields view, 207 00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:34,820 I can see that my town is a text data type 208 00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:36,003 with a length of seven. 209 00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:41,850 Let's change that length here and save those changes. 210 00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:45,780 This doesn't do anything to the data 211 00:11:45,780 --> 00:11:47,070 other than make the container, 212 00:11:47,070 --> 00:11:49,530 that text container for the town attribute 213 00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:50,543 a little bit bigger. 214 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:55,630 Okay, let's try that merge just one more time 215 00:11:56,718 --> 00:11:58,630 or the append just one more time. 216 00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:59,930 I've made changes to the data. 217 00:11:59,930 --> 00:12:01,090 So it's always good to back 218 00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:04,123 all the way out of the tool and reset your parameters. 219 00:12:05,460 --> 00:12:08,740 Once again, I've got my Waitsfield parcels for my input data 220 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,173 and my Warren Fayston parcels for my target data. 221 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,463 Let's use that field map to reconcile any differences, 222 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:20,790 and now when I scroll down to town 223 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:22,440 and switch over to the properties tab, 224 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,860 I see it's got that length of 10. 225 00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:26,660 It seems like things are looking up. 226 00:12:28,130 --> 00:12:32,043 I'll click run, and it looks like my append is completed. 227 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,680 If I open the attribute table for my Warren Fayston Parcels, 228 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,070 I see I've got 5,474 records. 229 00:12:41,070 --> 00:12:43,830 That's the same number that we achieved 230 00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:45,323 when we used the merge tool. 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,880 Now takeaway message here, 232 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,920 remember that union, not the right tool for the job. 233 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,240 If you use the merge tool, 234 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,300 that's going to produce a new output feature class. 235 00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:59,100 And if you use the append tool, 236 00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:02,050 that's going to modify one of the input datasets 237 00:13:02,050 --> 00:13:05,320 that you supply to the append tool itself. 238 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,490 So that's it for the vector side of things. 239 00:13:07,490 --> 00:13:08,820 Let's switch over to raster 240 00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:10,470 and take a look there real quick. 241 00:13:12,050 --> 00:13:13,640 To explore the raster example, 242 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,300 I downloaded some data from the USGS national map 243 00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:19,890 one meter digital elevation model. 244 00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:22,280 We can see the two different slices 245 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,943 of the data on the screen here. 246 00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:29,500 So, what are we gonna do here? 247 00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:32,930 We want to put these two pieces of the DEM 248 00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:36,943 into a single piece that we could use in our analysis. 249 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:45,550 The equivalent of the merge on the vector side 250 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,443 is what's known as creating a Mosaic dataset. 251 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:54,223 So I need to specify an output location, 252 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,790 and I'll write that information 253 00:13:58,790 --> 00:14:01,680 to my geo database for the project. 254 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:04,253 I need to give my Mosaic dataset a name. 255 00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:11,370 And lastly I need to give my Mosaic dataset 256 00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:12,990 a coordinate system. 257 00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:15,190 I'm going to use the input coordinate system 258 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:20,893 of one of my datasets, which I see is the UTM Zone 18 North. 259 00:14:21,810 --> 00:14:24,130 That's it for creating the Mosaic dataset. 260 00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:29,130 Just click run, and ArcGIS will add that 261 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,130 to the database and to the project. 262 00:14:33,130 --> 00:14:34,600 Note, we've got the boundary, 263 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,963 the outer bounds of my Mosaic, the footprints, 264 00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:40,980 the boundary of the individual tiles 265 00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:44,203 that go into the Mosaic, and then the image itself. 266 00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:48,000 Right now the image doesn't show us anything 267 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,670 because we haven't added any data to the Mosaic. 268 00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:53,730 Let's add some data now. 269 00:14:53,730 --> 00:14:56,710 I'll use the add rasters to Mosaic dataset, 270 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:58,700 specify the Mosaic dataset here 271 00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:00,323 as the one that we just created. 272 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,133 And the last thing we need to do is supply some input data. 273 00:15:05,377 --> 00:15:07,080 If we hover over that information, 274 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,293 we see that we have three different options here, 275 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,020 four different options, actually. 276 00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:17,570 And that the right one for us will be the dataset option 277 00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:19,940 because we're using TIFF files. 278 00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:24,940 So let's locate those files and add them to the Mosaic. 279 00:15:27,570 --> 00:15:29,210 So I add the two TIFF files 280 00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:31,660 to my list of rasters that I want to include 281 00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:34,893 in my Mosaic dataset and click run. 282 00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:40,290 And now we can see our result. 283 00:15:40,290 --> 00:15:43,850 We've got our footprints that define those two slices 284 00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:48,270 of the digital elevation model and our resulting image. 285 00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:52,470 Note the values there in the image itself. 286 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:53,543 Let's fix that. 287 00:15:56,443 --> 00:15:59,187 If we go back to our geo processing interface, 288 00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:06,260 we can calculate statistics on our raster dataset. 289 00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:08,730 In this case, the Mosaic. 290 00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:10,710 We don't need to skip anything, 291 00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:13,200 and we're not going to specify an area of interest. 292 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,363 We'll just click run. 293 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:19,400 We note that the software locks down that Mosaic dataset 294 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,130 while the statistics are being computed. 295 00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:22,943 We can see those lock icons, 296 00:16:23,870 --> 00:16:27,739 and once the calculate statistics is done 297 00:16:27,739 --> 00:16:30,233 that lock icon will disappear. 298 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:35,970 Okay, well, calculate statistics is done running, 299 00:16:35,970 --> 00:16:38,792 and now we see from our image 300 00:16:38,792 --> 00:16:41,690 that the symbology looks much better. 301 00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:42,770 Now, if I had other data 302 00:16:42,770 --> 00:16:44,810 that I wanted to add into my Mosaic, 303 00:16:44,810 --> 00:16:47,610 I could certainly do that at this time. 304 00:16:47,610 --> 00:16:51,440 And I'll note that I have two other tiles here 305 00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:55,540 that are not directly connected to the data 306 00:16:55,540 --> 00:16:58,810 that I've already built into the mosaic. 307 00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:01,710 But instead of using that add rasters to the Mosaic, 308 00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:03,360 I wanna show you one other thing. 309 00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:06,070 I'm going to export 310 00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:11,640 the raster dataset that we just created 311 00:17:15,290 --> 00:17:17,570 and then we'll use the append tool 312 00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:21,053 to actually add those other two slices into the dataset. 313 00:17:23,090 --> 00:17:25,093 I've set up the export raster tool. 314 00:17:27,239 --> 00:17:29,739 And I'll just click export to produce that output. 315 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,996 All right. 316 00:17:33,996 --> 00:17:36,490 The export image ran successfully, 317 00:17:36,490 --> 00:17:39,510 and now I've got that standalone raster dataset 318 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:41,450 that we see up on the top. 319 00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:43,420 One last thing before we're done. 320 00:17:43,420 --> 00:17:45,830 Let's add in these other two pieces 321 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:47,203 using the append tool. 322 00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:54,260 Remember that append tool is going to modify 323 00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:55,770 my target dataset. 324 00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:59,330 In this case, the export from the Mosaic I just created. 325 00:17:59,330 --> 00:18:02,400 I've added the other two input datasets from the list. 326 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,913 And now I'll click run to see what I can produce. 327 00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:11,570 Looks like my append operation concluded successfully. 328 00:18:11,570 --> 00:18:15,053 So now let's look over at the map pane to check our results. 329 00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:20,240 And sure enough, I've got those two other pieces 330 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,323 that I appended to the exported Mosaic dataset. 331 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,500 That's it for this demo. 332 00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,060 Remember one of the key takeaways here 333 00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:35,200 is the difference between the union and the merge tool 334 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,940 when you're trying to combine vector data. 335 00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:41,270 And that when we're working with raster data, 336 00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:43,350 we take a slightly different approach, 337 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:44,980 but note that the append tool 338 00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:48,380 can work for both raster and vector data. 339 00:18:48,380 --> 00:18:52,038 The primary difference between the append and the merge 340 00:18:52,038 --> 00:18:54,877 is that the merge tool will produce a new dataset, 341 00:18:54,877 --> 00:18:59,370 and the append will modify an existing dataset. 342 00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:00,880 Keep all these factors in mind 343 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,190 as you think about ways to assemble and overlay 344 00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:05,903 your data for analysis.
