Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Point Features
| The input point features for which density will be calculated. | Feature Layer |
Population Field | The field denoting population values for each feature. The population is the count or quantity to be spread across the landscape to create a continuous surface. Values in the population field can be integer or floating point. Use None if no item or special value will be used and each feature will be counted once. | Field |
Elevation Field (Optional) | The field denoting elevation values for each feature. Values in the elevation field can be integer or floating point. Use Empty to support 3D kernel density with time. For 3D features, a pseudo field, Shape.Z, will be added to the field list. | Field |
Elevation Field Unit (Optional) | Specifies the unit of measure that will be used for the input elevation field value. The default is meters. Use the appropriate unit to represent the values in the Elevation Field parameter value.
| String |
Time Field (Optional) | The field denoting time values for each feature. | Field |
Cell Size (Optional) | The cell size of the multidimensional raster output that will be created. The value can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If no cell size is provided, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the tool usage for details. | Analysis Cell Size |
Search Radius (x and y) (Optional) | The search radius on the x,y plane within which density will be calculated. Provide the value and the appropriate units. For example, to include all features within a 1-mile neighborhood when the units are meters, set the search radius to 1609.344 (1 mile = 1609.344 meters). By default, the units are based on the linear unit of the output spatial reference. | Linear Unit |
Search Radius (z) (Optional) | The vertical search distance in the z-direction within which density will be calculated. This vertical distance will be used to search for features in the upward and downward directions along the z-axis. Provide the value and the appropriate units. | Linear Unit |
Search Time Window (t) (Optional) | The search range of time within which density will be calculated. Provide the value and the appropriate units. | Time Unit |
Resultant Values (Optional) | Specifies what the values in the output raster will represent. Since the output cell value is related to the specified cell size, the resulting raster cannot be resampled to a different cell size.
| String |
Method (Optional) | Specifies whether the flat earth (planar) or the shortest path on a spheroid (geodesic) method will be used.
| String |
Minimum Elevation
(Optional) | The minimum (lowest) elevation that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. | Double |
Maximum Elevation
(Optional) | The maximum (highest) elevation that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. | Double |
Elevation Interval
(Optional) | The elevation interval between slices in the multidimensional raster output. The value must be greater than zero. | Double |
Elevation Unit (Optional) | Specifies the unit of elevation interval that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. The default is meter.
| String |
Start Time (Optional) | The start time that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. | Date |
End Time (Optional) | The end time that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. | Date |
Time Interval (Optional) | The time interval between slices in the multidimensional raster output. The value must be greater than zero. | Double |
Time Interval Unit (Optional) | Specifies the unit of the time interval that will be used for the multidimensional raster output. The default is day.
| String |
Output Voxel Layer (Optional) | The output voxel layer based on volumetric data stored in the output netCDF raster. This output type can only be created when the Output Raster parameter is set to create a netCDF raster with the .nc extension. | Voxel Layer |
Return Value
Label | Explanation | Data Type | Output Raster | The output kernel density multidimensional raster dataset. The file name extension determines the format of the output. Use .crf to create a CRF raster. Use .nc to create a netCDF raster. The default output is a CRF raster. It is always a floating point raster. | Raster |
