Export Mosaic Dataset Items (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.2 | | Help archive

Summary

Saves a copy of processed images in a mosaic dataset to a specified folder and raster file format.

There are two common workflows that use this tool:

  • Export each selected item of a mosaic dataset to a new file. This allows you to have each processed item as a stand-alone file. You must set the appropriate NoData value for the exported items so there are no dark borders.
  • Export each selected image within a time series mosaic dataset based on an area of interest. This allows you to only export the area of interest from each time slice.

Usage

  • By default, all items will be exported to the specified folder. Use the Query Definition parameter or interactively select specific records in the mosaic dataset to export a subset of the images.

  • The images will be exported with all the processing from the function chains applied. Only the function chains at the item level are applied; function chains at the mosaic dataset level are ignored. This tool does not export the raw source images.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Mosaic Dataset

The mosaic dataset that contains the images to be exported.

Mosaic Layer
Output Folder

The folder where the images will be saved.

Folder
Output Base Name
(Optional)

A prefix to add to the name of each item after it is copied. The prefix will be followed by the Object ID value from the mosaic dataset footprints table.

If no base name is set, the text in the Name field of the mosaic dataset item will be used.

String
Query Definition
(Optional)

An SQL expression that will be used to save selected images in the mosaic dataset.

SQL Expression
Output Format
(Optional)

Specifies the format that will be used for the output raster datasets.

  • TIFFTIFF format will be used. This is the default.
  • Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFCloud Optimized GeoTIFF format will be used.
  • BMPBMP format will be used.
  • ENVI DATENVI DAT format will be used.
  • Esri BILEsri BIL format will be used.
  • Esri BIPEsri BIP format will be used.
  • Esri BSQEsri BSQ format will be used.
  • GIFGIF format will be used.
  • Esri GridEsri Grid format will be used.
  • ERDAS IMAGINEERDAS IMAGINE format will be used.
  • JPEG 2000JPEG 2000 format will be used.
  • JPEGJPEG format will be used.
  • PNGPNG format will be used.
  • Cloud raster formatCloud raster format will be used.
  • Meta raster formatMeta raster format will be used.
String
NoData Value
(Optional)

All the pixels with the specified value will be set to NoData in the output raster dataset.

It is recommended that you specify a NoData value if the output images will be clipped.

String
Clip Type
(Optional)

Specifies the output extent of the raster datasets. If you choose an extent or feature class that covers an area larger than the raster data, the output will have the larger extent.

  • No clippingThe output will not be clipped. This is the default.
  • Clip to extentAn extent will be used to clip the output.
  • Clip to feature classA feature class extent will be used to clip the output.
String
Clipping Template
(Optional)

The feature class or bounding box that will be used to limit the extent.

  • Current Display Extent Map View—The extent will be based on the active map or scene. This option is only available when there is an active map.
  • Extent of a Layer Layer—The extent will be based on an active map layer. Use the drop-down list to choose an available layer or use the Extent of data in all layers option to get the combined extent of all active map layers, excluding the basemap. This option is only available when there is an active map with layers.
  • Browse Browse—The extent will be based on an existing dataset.
  • Reset Extent Reset—The extent will be reset to the default value.
  • Manually entered coordinates—The coordinates must be numeric values and in the active map's coordinate system.

    The map may be using different display units

Extent
Cell Size
(Optional)

The horizontal (x) and vertical (y) dimensions of the output cells.

If the cell size is not specified, the spatial resolution of the input will be used.

Point
Export images to image space
(Optional)

Specifies whether raster items will be exported in map space or image space.

  • Unchecked—Raster items will be exported in map space. This is the default.
  • Checked—Raster items will be exported in image space.

Boolean
Remove image distortions
(Optional)

Specifies whether lens distortion will be removed from the exported raster in image space.

  • Unchecked—Lens distortion will not be removed from the exported raster in image space. This is the default.
  • Checked—Lens distortion will be removed from the exported the raster in image space.

Boolean

Derived Output

LabelExplanationData Type
Updated Output Folder

The updated output folder.
