Raster files are images that are used in ArcMap. They can come from a variety of sources and formats including .img, .tif and .jpg formats to name a few. Python can be used to describe components of a raster file, to remap and reclassify landcover, and to calculate slope and aspect. The most commonly used extension in working with raster files is the Spatial Analyst extension. Within Python, the arcpy.sa module is most used and all functions should be imported.
Our lab this week had us use a number of arcpy.sa functions to remap and reclassify landcover as well as calculate a desired slope and aspect of the elevation raster file. My final result is shown below.
