The exercises in this tutorial walk you through steps with sample data to build simple mosaic datasets, as well as slightly more complex ones, and help you understand some of the decisions you need to consider for your data and the uses of the mosaic dataset. There are also a few exercises that teach you about using a raster catalog and raster datasets.
Tutorial data
By default, the data is installed from the tutorial DVD in C:\arcgis\ArcTutor\Raster\Data.
