Mosaic Rasters function

Available with Image Server

The Mosaic Rasters function creates a single mosaicked image using multiple images. When there is overlap between the images, you can choose from several methods to determine the priority with which images are displayed.

Notes

This function is useful when you want to manage and display a collection of overlapping or adjacent images as a single mosaicked image.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Rasters	Select the raster layers you want to mosaic together to form one image.
Operation	Resolve any conflict when you have parts of two or more images that overlap. The options include the following: First—Display the pixels from the first image in the list of images overlapping a given area. Last—Display the pixels from the last image in the list of images overlapping a given area. Min—Display the lowest valued pixel of all the overlapping layers. With this option, you have no guarantee of displaying the pixels of just one image in the overlapping area but rather a combination of all potential layers. Max—Display the highest valued pixel of all the overlapping layers. With this option, you have no guarantee of displaying the pixels of just one image in the overlapping area but rather a combination of all potential layers. Mean—Calculate and display an average of the overlapping pixels. Blend—Calculate and display an average of the overlapping pixels by giving more weight to pixels that are closer to neighboring images so the output is a smoother image. This is the default.
