Description

Summarize Raster Within diagram

The SummarizeRasterWithin task summarizes the cells of a raster within the boundaries of zones defined by another dataset.

You can think of SummarizeRasterWithin as taking two layers, one that defines specific zones and another that defines the value of each location across the whole area, and calculating some summary statistic for all of the values that fall within each particular area. The layer that defines the areas, inputZoneLayer, is a raster or feature dataset that defines the boundaries of each of the zones for which summary values will be calculated. If the zone layer is a raster, it must have an integer data type. The area defining the values, the inputRasterLayertoSummarize, is a raster dataset recording the value of some particular property at each location.

The statistic can report such properties as the sum of all the values in each area, the maximum value, or the average value. The statisticType can be calculated based on some mathematical function, the result of a sorting operation on the values, or an indication of the frequency values.

Some example applications of SummarizeRasterWithin include the following:

Calculate the total acreage of land-use type for each watershed when given a layer of watershed boundaries and a layer of land-use boundaries by land-use type.
Summarize the average value of vacant parcels within each city boundary when given a layer of parcels in a county and a layer of city boundaries.

Request parameters


Parameter	Details
inputZoneLayer (Required)	The layer the defines the boundaries of the zones. Syntax: This parameter can have either a raster input or a feature input. For raster input, this parameter can be specified as a portal item ID, a URL to a raster image service layer, a cloud raster dataset, or a shared raster dataset. For feature input, this parameter can be specified as either a URL to a feature service layer or a feature collection. Raster input examples: `//Portal item as input raster "inputZoneLayer":{"itemId": <portal item Id>} //URL as input raster "inputZoneLayer":{"url": <image service layer url>}` Feature input examples: `//Feature layer URL "inputZoneLayer":{"url": <feature service layer url>} //Feature collection "inputZoneLayer":{"layerDefinition": {}, "featureSet": {}}`
zoneField (Required)	A field on the inputZoneLayer that holds the values that define each zone. It can be an integer or a string field of the zone dataset. Example: `"zoneField": Boundary1`
inputRasterLayertoSummarize (Required)	Choose the raster layer you want to summarize by the zones defined by the inputZoneLayer. Syntax: This parameter can be specified as a portal item ID, a URL to a raster image service layer, a cloud raster dataset, or a shared raster dataset. Examples: `//Portal item as input raster to summarize "inputRasterLayertoSummarize":{"itemId": <portal item Id>} //URL as input raster to summarize "inputRasterLayertoSummarize":{"url": <image service layer url>}`
outputName (Required)	The name of the output image service that will be created. You can specify the name, or you can create an empty service using Portal Admin Sharing API and use the return JSON object as input to this parameter. Syntax: A JSON object describes the name of the output or the output raster. Output name example: `"outputName":{"serviceProperties":{"name":"testrasteranalysis"}}` Output raster examples: `//Output portal item: "outputName":{"itemId": <portal item id>} //Output url: "outputName":{"url": <image service url} //Output raster layer service: "outputName":{"serviceProperties": {"name":"testrasteranalysis", "serviceUrl":"https://<server name>/server/rest/services/Hosted/testrasteranalysis/ImageServer"}, "itemProperties":{"itemId":"8cfbd3ec25584d0d8f4ed23b8ff7c43b","folderId":"sdfwerfbd3ec25584d0d8f4"} }`
statisticType	The statistical summary type that you want to calculate for all the cells within each zone of the feature in the inputRasterLayertoSummarize. Syntax: The input can be one of the following: MEAN—Calculates the average of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. MAJORITY—Determines the majority value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. MAXIMUM—Determines the largest value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. MEDIAN—Finds the median value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. MINIMUM—Finds the smallest value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. MINORITY—Determines the minority value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. PERCENTILE—Calculates a percentile of all cells in the value raster that belong to the same zone as the output cell. The ninetieth percentile is calculated by default. You can specify other values (from 0 to 100) using the percentileValue parameter. RANGE—Finds the range of all cells in the value that belongs to the same zone as the output zone. SUM—Adds the total value of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. STD—Finds the standard deviation of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. VARIETY—Finds the variety of all cells in the value raster that belongs to the same zone as the output cell. If the inputRasterLayertoSummarize is floating-point type, the zonal calculations for MAJORITY, MINORITY, and VARIETY cannot be computed. Example: `"statisticType": "SUM"`
ignoreMissingValues	Specify whether missing values in the raster layer to summarize will influence the results of the areas they fall within. Syntax: A Boolean value as either true or false. A value of true specifies that, within any particular area, only cells that have a value in the raster layer being summarized will be used in determining the output value for that area. Any missing or NoData cells will be ignored in the statistics calculations. This is the default. A value of false specifies that, within any particular area, if any cells in the raster layer do not have a value, it is deemed that there is insufficient information to perform statistical calculations for all the cells in that zone. As a result, the entire zone will receive the NoData value on the output raster. Example: `"ignoreMissingValues": true`
processAsMultidimensional	Specifies how the input rasters will be processed if they are multidimensional. Syntax: A Boolean value as either true or false. A value of true specifies that statistics will be calculated for all dimensions (such as time or depth) of a multidimensional dataset. A value of false specifies that statistics will be calculated from the current slice of a multidimensional dataset. This is the default. Example: `"processasMultidimensional": true`
percentileValue	Specifies the percentile value to calculate. The default is 90, for the 90th percentile. The values can range from 0 to 100. The 0th percentile is essentially equivalent to the minimum statistic, and the 100th percentile is equivalent to the maximum. A value of 50 will produce approximately the same result as the median statistic. This option is only supported if the statisticsType parameter is set to PERCENTILE. Syntax: A Double value that can range from 0 to 100. Example: `"percentileValue": 15.342`
percentileInterpolationType	Specifies the method of percentile interpolation to be used when the number of values from the input raster to be calculated is even. AUTO_DETECT—If the input value raster is of integer pixel type, the NEAREST method is used. If the input value raster is of floating-point pixel type, the LINEAR method is used. This is the default. NEAREST—The nearest available value to the desired percentile is used. In this case, the output pixel type is the same as that of the input value raster. LINEAR—The weighted average of the two surrounding values from the desired percentile is used. In this case, the output pixel type is floating point. Example: `"percentileInterpolationType": NEAREST`
calculateCircularStatistics	Specifies how the statistics type will be calculated. Syntax: A Boolean value as either true or false. A value of true specifies that the task calculates circular statistics that are appropriate for cyclic quantities, such as compass direction in degrees, times of day, and fractional parts of real numbers. A value of false specifies that the task calculates arithmetic statistics. This is the default. Example: `"calculateCircularStatistics": true`
circularWrapValue	Specifies the highest possible value (upper bound) in the cyclic data. It is a positive number, with a default value of 360. This value also represents the same quantity as the lowest possible value (lower bound). This parameter is applicable only when circular statistics are calculated.
context	Contains additional settings that affect task processing. This task has the following settings: Extent (extent)—A bounding box that defines the analysis area. Output Spatial Reference (outSR)—The output raster will be projected into the output spatial reference. Snap Raster (snapRaster)—The output raster will have its cells aligned with the specified snap raster. Cell Size (cellSize)—The output raster will have the resolution specified by cell size. Mask (mask)—Only cells that fall within the analysis mask will be considered in the operation.
f	The response format. The default response format is html. Values: html \| json \| pjson

Response

When you submit a request, the task assigns a unique job ID for the transaction.

{
  "jobId": "<unique job identifier>",
  "jobStatus": "<job status>"
}

After the initial request is submitted, you can use the jobId to periodically check the status of the job and messages as described in Checking job status. Once the job has successfully completed, you use the jobId to retrieve the results. To track the status, you can make a request of the following form:

https://<raster analysis tools url>/SummarizeRasterWithin/jobs/<jobId>

When the status of the job request is esriJobSucceeded, you can access the results of the analysis by making a request of the following form:

https://<raster analysis tools url>/SummarizeRasterWithin/jobs/<jobId>/results/outputRaster
