Managing large image collections
• Large images can easily exceed the 2-GB limit on file size
• ESRI offers two major ways to manage spatially tiled images– Image Catalogs– ArcSDE Rasters (has 5 ways to handle,
but beyond scope of this class)

Raster (a.k.a Image) Catalogs
• Group of raster files covering a similar theme and sharing coordinate system
• Often same format and symbology
• Examples:–Map series (DRGs)– Orthophotos (DOQs)

Raster Catalogs
• Display multiple rasters without having to merge them into larger rasters
• Supported very well in ArcView 3 • Supported in ArcPlot, but can’t do a
transparent NODATA• Also supported in ArcMap, but you need a
script to do transparent NODATA

Raster Catalogs
• Format: any table with columns:IMAGE, XMIN, YMIN, XMAX, YMAX
• IMAGE is a pathname to the raster• Symbology from first raster in
catalog• ArcObjects Online sample code
exists to help in symbolizing catalogs

Working with Image Catalogs
• Prerequisites:– Images in supported formats– Georeferenced, spatial reference
specified in ArcCatalog– All images must use the same colormap– If overlapping, need a special value for
overlaps or NODATA areas

Image Catalog Procedures:DRG Example
• Get DRGs. Best source: NRCS state offices on CD
• Decide on projection, datum• Clip_project_DRG.aml
– Project if necessary– Trim collars
• Assign spatial reference: BatchRasterSpatialRef.bas
• Use a system variable for base of paths in image catalog for portablility

Create Image Catalogs
• Arc CREATECATALOG command• Arc ADDIMAGE command• Drgcatalog.aml does both, adds all images
in a folder to the catalog• Folder2ImageCatalog.bas works in
ArcCatalog, can do .SID files• Other AMLs:– copyimagecat.aml (copies images)– trimimagecat.aml (deletes images from disk)

Raster Catalog Pitfalls
• Make sure all files and folders are NOT read-only
• Do NOT load into ArcMap until you are sure all paths are correct and all images have spatial references
• If you load it with a bad spatial reference you will never be able to load it correctly

Changing Symbology for an Raster Catalog
• No Symbology tab
• There’s no way to store a transparent color in a TIFF colormap
• Must use a script to get a ‘renderer’ from one image, apply it to all
• ChangeCatalogSymbology.bas

Other base maps
• NLCD
• Shaded relief at both 90- and 30-meter resolutions
• Precip, other layers used
• Make these TIFFs, they work better in ArcIMS
