Usage

  • A zone is defined as all areas in the input with the same value. The areas do not have to be contiguous. Both raster and feature can be used for the zone input.

  • This raster analysis portal tool is available when you are signed in to an ArcGIS Enterprise Link to Understanding analysis in ArcGIS Enterprise portal that has an ArcGIS Image Server Link to What is ArcGIS Image Server configured for Raster Analysis Link to Configure and deploy raster analytics. When the tool is invoked, ArcGIS Pro serves as a client and the processing happens in the servers federated with ArcGIS Enterprise. The portal tool accepts layers from your portal as input and creates output in your portal.

    The input raster layer supports the following: a layer from the portal, a URI or URL to an image service, or the output from the Make Image Server Layer tool. The input feature layer can be a layer from the portal. It can also be a URI or URL to a feature service. This tool does not support local raster data or layers. While you can use local feature data and layers as input to this portal tool, best practice is to use layers from your portal as input.

  • If the Input Zone Raster or Features (inputZoneRasterOrFeatures in Python) is a raster, it must be an integer raster.

    If the zone is a feature, it will be converted to a raster internally using the cell size and cell alignment from the Input Value Raster (inputValueRaster in Python).

  • When the cell size of the Input Zone Raster or Features and the Input Value Raster are different, the output cell size will be the Maximum Of Inputs value, and the value raster image service will be used as the snap raster internally. If the cell size is the same but the cells are not aligned, the value raster will be used as the snap raster internally. Either of these cases will trigger an internal resampling before the zonal operation is performed.

    When the zone and value inputs are both rasters of the same cell size and the cells are aligned, they will be used directly in the tool and will not be resampled internally during tool execution.

  • If the Input Zone Raster or Features is a feature, for any of the zone features that do not overlap any cell centers of the value raster, those zones will not be converted to the internal zone raster. As a result, those zones will not be represented in the output. You can manage this by determining an appropriate value for the Cell Size environment that will preserve the desired level of detail of the feature zones, and specify it in the analysis environment. Specifying a smaller cell size will generate a larger output raster. The higher resolution output will not necessarily be as high quality a result as it seems, since the additional detail does not actually exist in the Input Value Raster.

  • If the Input Zone Raster or Features has overlapping features, the zonal analysis will be performed for each individual feature.

  • If the Input Zone Raster or Features is a point feature, it is possible to have more than one point contained within any particular cell of the value input raster. For such cells, the zone value is determined by the point with the lowest ObjectID field (for example, OID or FID).

  • When specifying the Input Zone Raster or Features, the default zone field will be the first available integer or text field. If no other valid fields exist, the ObjectID field (for example, OID or FID) will be the default.

  • The Input Value Raster can be either integer or floating point. However, when it is floating-point type, the options for calculating majority, median, minority, percentile, and variety will not be available. For majority and minority calculations, when there is a tie, the output for the zone is based on the lowest of the tied values.

  • Supported multidimensional dataset types include multidimensional image service.

  • A field or series of fields will be created in the output table, depending on the Statistic Type parameter setting (statisticType in Python). The number of rows in the output table will represent the number of zones.

Syntax

ZonalStatisticsAsTable(inputZoneRasterOrFeatures, inputValueRaster, outputTableName, zoneField, {ignoreNodata}, {statisticType}, {percentileValues}, {processAsMultidimensional})
ParameterExplanationData Type
inputZoneRasterOrFeatures

The input that defines the zones.

Both raster and feature data can be used for the zone input.

Raster Layer; Feature Layer
inputValueRaster

The raster that contains the values on which to summarize a statistic.

Raster Layer
outputTableName

The name of the output table.

If the table already exists, you will be prompted to provide another name.

String
zoneField

The field that defines each zone.

It can be an integer or a string field of the zone dataset.

String
ignoreNodata
(Optional)

Specifies whether NoData values in the value input will be ignored in the results of the zone that they fall within.

  • DATAWithin any particular zone, only cells that have a value in the input value raster will be used in determining the output value for that zone. NoData cells in the value raster will be ignored in the statistic calculation. This is the default.
  • NODATAWithin any particular zone, if NoData cells exist in the value raster, they will not be ignored and their existence indicates that there is insufficient information to perform statistical calculations for all the cells in that zone. Consequently, the entire zone will receive the NoData value on the output raster.
Boolean
statisticType
(Optional)

Specifies the statistic type to calculate.

The available options when the value raster is integer are All, Mean, Majority, Maximum, Median, Minimum, Minority, Percentile, Range, Standard deviation, Sum, Variety, Minimum and Maximum, Mean and Standard deviation, and Minimum, Maximum and Mean.

If the value raster is float, the options are All, Mean, Maximum, Minimum, Range, Standard deviation, and Sum.

  • ALLAll of the statistics will be calculated. This is the default.
  • MEANThe mean of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MAJORITYThe value that occurs most often of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MAXIMUMThe largest value of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MEDIANThe median value of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MINIMUMThe smallest value of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MINORITYThe value that occurs least often of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • PERCENTILEThe percentile of all cells in the value raster that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated. The 90th percentile is calculated by default. You can specify other values (from 0 to 100) using the Percentile Values parameter.
  • RANGEThe difference between the largest and smallest value of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • STDThe standard deviation of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • SUMThe total value of all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • VARIETYThe number of unique values for all cells in the raster layer to be summarized that belong to the same zone as the output cell will be calculated.
  • MIN_MAXBoth the minimum and maximum statistics will be calculated.
  • MEAN_STDBoth the mean and standard deviation statistics will be calculated.
  • MIN_MAX_MEANThe minimum, maximum, and mean statistics will be calculated.
String
percentileValues
[percentileValues,...]
(Optional)

The percentile to calculate. The default is 90, indicating the 90th percentile.

The values can range from 0 to 100. The 0th percentile is essentially equivalent to the minimum statistic, and the 100th percentile is equivalent to maximum. A value of 50 will produce essentially the same result as the median statistic.

This option is only available if the statisticType parameter is set to PERCENTILE or ALL.

Double
processAsMultidimensional
(Optional)

Specifies how the input rasters will be processed if they are multidimensional.

  • CURRENT_SLICEStatistics will be calculated from the current slice of the input multidimensional dataset. This is the default.
  • ALL_SLICESStatistics will be calculated for all dimensions of the input multidimensional dataset.
Boolean
