Local Tools, can combine the input raster, calculate a statistic on them, or evaluate a criterion for each cell on the output raster based on the values of each cell from multiple input rasters.

  • Raster Calculator

Map Algebra performs spatial analysis by creating expressions in an algebraic language. With the Raster Calculator tool, you can easily create and run Map Algebra expressions that output a raster dataset.

  • Band Collection Statistics
  • Class Probability
  • Create Signatures
  • Dendrogram
  • Edit Signatures
  • Iso Cluster
  • Iso Cluster Unsupervised Classification
  • Maximum Likelihood Classification
  • Principal Components

Multivariate perform the exploration of relationships among many different types of attributes. There are two types of multivariate analysis available :(i) Classification(Supervised and Unsupervised) and (ii) Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

  • Block Statistics
  • Filter
  • Focal Flow
  • Focal Statistics
  • Line Statistics
  • Point Statistics

Neighborhood tools create output values for each cell location based on the location value and the values identified in a specified neighborhood. The neighborhood can be of two types: (i) moving or (ii)search radius.

  • Fuzzy Membership
  • Fuzzy Overlay
  • Weighted Overlay
  • Weighted Sum

Overlay tools allow you to apply weights to several inputs and combine them into a single output. The most common application for Overlay tools is modeling.
