What Geoprocessing

Geoprocessing is the processing of geographic information

Commonly used to describe a process when geographic objects are manipulated to create a new dataset

Many examples of geoprocessinghellip

Common Examples

Buffer Overlay analysis of vectorsrasters Interpolation Slope Aspect from DEMs MapGrid algebra Hydrologic analysis Classification

Not-so-Common Examples

Geocoding Converting between file formats Projecting Select and export Zonal statistics Proximity analysis Editing

What is Geoprocessing

So itrsquos just about everything Well not reallyhellip

Geoprocessing is not cartography 2-D and 3-D symbolization numerical statistics querys labeling and annotation GDB schema metadata

A few noteshellip

Geoprocessing is just beginning in the 3-D world and will likely increase

Temporal modeling Significant improvements in 9x Incorporated into SA ModelBuilder 3-D

Solar radiation model into Framework Process-oriented GIS (not by ESRI)

Geoprocessing in ArcGIS

Focus on ArcGIS Desktop applications

Wersquoll use ArcMap

Wersquoll use ArcInfo Desktop

MergeAppend

MergeAppend operation ndash two or more layers

Append adjacent layers Appends data source(s) or

feature class(es) to an existing Example MergeAppend several counties Notice when layers overlap Features are not intersected Features and attributes are

only appended

Dissolve

Dissolve operation ndash one layer process1048713 Aggregate features by value of attribute when it is the same1048713 Creates new data source or feature classExample1048713 Landuse Level 2 to Level 11048713 Parcels based on ownership

Dissolve

Dissolving features - simplify the data based on common attribute values

Buffer

Buffers are rings drawn around features at a distance

1048713 By distance or attribute value

1048713 All features or only selected features

1048713 Outside within multiple rings

1048713 New layer or graphic

Clip

Clip operation ndash two layer process1048713 Reduce spatial extent of one layer based on spatial extent of other1048713 Cookie cutter analogy1048713 Creates new data source or feature class1048713 Same attribute table as input layer but a subset1048713 Clip layer must be a polygon input layer any feature class1048713 Output layer feature class same as input layerExample1048713 Limit area of geographic interest1048713 Only Ontario not all of Canada

Overlay Analysis GeoProcessing

Intersect

Intersect overlay ndash two layers necessary 1048713 New layer with spatial extent only

common to two layers 1048713 Attribute table inherits from both layers 1048713 Creates new data source or feature class 1048713 Input layer determines feature class for

output layer 1048713 Overlay layer must be a polygon Example 1048713 Intersection of Roads with several

counties 1048713 Intersection of Pollution point with

counties

Union

Union example

Find out influence of soil type over crop productivity

1048713 Get a soils layer 1048713 Get a crop productivity layer 1048713 Use Union overlay to combine both layers in

one 1048713 Query Display Analyze the new layer based

on the new joint attributes to determine if there is a relationship

between the soil type and the crop productivity

Important

The output from the GeoProcessing operation will be in the same coordinate system as the Data Frame irrespective of the coordinate system of the data sources of the input layers
