| Value Table |
Confidence Threshold
(Optional) | The minimum confidence of deep learning model that will be used when detecting objects. The value must be between 0 and 1. | Double |

Output (Optional) | Specifies whether the intermediate outputs will be saved to the output location. The term intermediate outputs refers to the results generated after the model has been inferenced.

Test Time Augmentation (Optional) | Specifies whether predictions of flipped and rotated variants of the input image will be merged into the final output.
| Boolean |
Buffer Distance
(Optional) | The distance that will be used to buffer polyline features before they are used in postprocessing. The default is 15 meters. | Linear Unit |
Extend Length (Optional) | The maximum distance a line segment will be extended to an intersecting feature. The default is 25 meters. | Linear Unit |
Smoothing Tolerance (Optional) | The tolerance used by the Polynomial Approximation with Exponential Kernel (PAEK) algorithm. The default is 30 meters. | Linear Unit |
Dangle Length (Optional) | The length at which line segments that do not touch another line at both endpoints (dangles) will be trimmed. The default is 5 meters. | Linear Unit |
Input Road Features (Optional) | A road feature class that will be used for refining the parcels. The input can be a polygon or polyline feature class. | Feature Layer; Feature Class |
Road Buffer Width
(Optional) | The buffer distance that will be used for the Input Road Features value. The default value is 5 meters for polyline features and 0 meters for polygon features. | Linear Unit |
Regularize Parcels
(Optional) | Specifies whether extracted parcels will be normalized by eliminating undesirable artifacts in their geometry.
| Boolean |
Post Processing Workflow (Optional) | Specifies the postprocessing workflow that will be used.
| String |
Output Features (Optional) | The feature class containing the postprocessed output. | Feature Class |
Tolerance Between Adjacent Parcels
(Optional) | The minimum distance between coordinates before they are considered equal. This parameter is used to reduce slivers between extracted parcels. The default is 3 meters. | Linear Unit |
Regularization Method (Optional) | Specifies the regularization method that will be used in postprocessing.
| String |
Tolerance
(Optional) | The maximum distance that the regularized footprint can deviate from the boundary of its originating feature. The default is 1 meter. | Linear Unit |
Available with Image Analyst license.
Summary
Runs one or more pretrained deep learning models on an input raster to extract features and automate the postprocessing of the inferenced outputs.
Usage
This tool requires ArcGIS pretrained models from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World or custom deep learning model packages (.dlpk file).
You must install the proper deep learning framework for Python in ArcGIS Pro.
The time it takes for the tool to produce the outputs depends on the following:
- The area of interest used for inference
- The number of models selected
To run this tool, a GPU-equipped machine is required. If you have more than one GPU, specify the GPU ID instead.
Potential use cases for the tool include creating a basemap using multiple models and postprocessing model outputs using algorithms to clean extracted features.
For information about requirements for running this tool and issues you may encounter, see Deep Learning frequently asked questions.
