Calculate Density

Density analysis takes known quantities of some phenomenon and creates a density map by spreading these quantities across the map. You can use this tool, for example, to show concentrations of lightning strikes or tornadoes, access to health care facilities, and population densities.

Interpolate Points

This tool allows you to predict values at new locations based on measurements found in a collection of points. The tool takes point data with values at each point and returns areas classified by predicted values. You can use this tool, for example, to predict rainfall levels across a watershed based on measurements taken at individual rain gauges.

Use Proximity

These tools help you answer one of the most common questions posed in spatial analysis: "What is near what?"

• Calculate Distance calculates the Euclidean distance, direction and allocation from a single or set of sources.
• Determine Optimum Travel Cost Network calculates the optimum cost network from a set of input regions.
• Determine Travel Cost Path As Polyline calculates the least cost polyline path between sources and known destinations.

Calculate Distance

Calculates the Euclidean distance, direction and allocation from a single or set of sources. You can use this tool to determine how far a location is to a road, a building or a park. You can also determine which direction you must travel from a location to return back to a source in the most direct way. You can see for every location in your study area which is the closest source.

Monitor Vegetation

Performs an arithmetic operation on the bands of a multiband raster layer to reveal vegetation coverage information of the study area.

Analyze Terrain

These tools help you analyze raster surfaces.

• Calculate Slope calculates the steepness of terrain.
• Derive Aspect calculates the direction of steepest slope for each location.
• Create Viewshed identifies what can be seen from any point on the landscape.
• Watershed calculates the contributing area above identified location(s) on a surface.

Calculate Slope

Identifies a surface that shows the slope of the input elevation data. Slope represents the rate of change of elevation for each digital elevation model (DEM) cell.

Derive Aspect

Identifies the downslope direction of the maximum rate of change in value from each cell to its neighbors. Aspect can be thought of as the slope direction.

Manage Data

These tools are used for both the day-to-day management of geographic data and for combining data prior to analysis.

• Extract Raster clips out portions from a raster dataset for further analysis.
• Remap Values assigns different values to raster cells.
• Convert Feature to Raster rasterizes vector data.
• Convert Raster to Feature vectorizes raster data.

Toolset Deep Learning

These tools are used to detect specific features in an image or to classify pixels in a raster dataset. Deep learning is a type of artificial intelligence machine learning method that detects features in imagery using multiple layers in neural networks where each layer is capable of extracting one or more unique features in the image. These tools consume the models that have been trained to detect specific features in third-party deep learning frameworks—such as TensorFlow, CNTK and Keras—and output features or class maps.

• Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning produces a classified raster using a trained deep learning model.
• Detect Objects Using Deep Learning produces a feature class containing objects it finds in an input raster using a trained deep learning model.

Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning

Runs a trained deep learning model on an input raster to produce a classified raster, with each valid pixel having a class label assigned.

Detect Objects Using Deep Learning

Runs a trained deep learning model on an input raster to produce a feature class containing the objects it finds. The features can be bounding boxes or polygons around the objects found, or points at the centers of the objects.
