Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Surface Raster | The input surface raster. | Raster Layer |
Output Scale Raster (Optional) | The output raster containing the scale at which the most extreme percentile was found for each cell. Scales are represented as their neighborhood distance values. It will be floating-point type. | Raster Dataset |
Distance Units (Optional) | Specifies the distance unit that will be used for the Minimum Neighborhood Distance, Maximum Neighborhood Distance, and Base Distance Increment parameters. Distance will be measured in the number of cells or specified unit. The default is the map unit of the spatial reference for the Input Surface Raster value.
| String |
Minimum Neighborhood Distance (Optional) | The distance that defines the minimum neighborhood scale that elevation percentile will be calculated for. This is the distance from the target cell center, creating a square of cells around the target cell. This value must be less than or equal to the Maximum Neighborhood Distance parameter value and greater than or equal to the input raster cell size or one cell. The default value is 4 times the cell size of the Input Surface Raster parameter value, resulting in a 9 by 9 cell neighborhood. | Double |
Maximum Neighborhood Distance (Optional) | The distance that defines the maximum neighborhood scale that elevation percentile will be calculated for. This is the distance from the target cell center, creating a square of cells around the target cell. This value must be greater than or equal to the Minimum Neighborhood Distance parameter value and the input raster cell size or one cell. The default value is 13 times the cell size of the Input Surface Raster parameter value, resulting in a 27 by 27 cell neighborhood. | Double |
Base Distance Increment (Optional) | The initial increase in neighborhood distance between scales. This parameter value cannot be less than the Input Surface Raster cell size or 1 cell. The default value is the cell size of the Input Surface Raster parameter value. | Double |
Nonlinearity Factor (Optional) | The factor that can introduce nonlinearity into the scale increase at each increment. This causes the increment between scales to increase instead of remaining constant. Generally, values between 1.0 and 2.0 are used. This parameter must be greater than or equal to 1. The default value is 1, which creates a linear increase in neighborhood distances (where the increment between scales remains constant). | Double |
Target Device for Analysis (Optional) | Specifies the device that will be used to perform the calculation.
| String |
Return Value
Label | Explanation | Data Type | Output Percentile Raster | The output raster containing the most extreme percentile value for each cell. The most extreme value is the percentile furthest from 50 (such as percentiles closer to 0 or 100). It will be floating-point type. | Raster |
