Description

The Raster Analysis service contains a number of tasks that you can access and use in your applications. These tasks are arranged below in categories of logical groupings, which do not affect how you access or use the tasks in any way.

Tasks that analyze patterns

The tasks that analyze patterns are described in the following table:

TaskDescription

The ComputeChangeRaster task is used to evaluate the difference between two input rasters, and generates a change raster output service. This tool supports continuous raster data and categorical raster data. When the raster inputs are two categorical rasters, the output change raster includes an attribute table containing all the permutations of the from and to classes as well as the pixel counts for all changed and unchanged classes.
