Measuring the location of a point in an image

  • Getting measurements at a point
  • Finding the centroid and its measurements

You can get point and centroid locations from any georeferenced raster dataset, mosaic dataset, or image service. A DEM is required if making measurements in 3D.

Tip:

The units for these measurements can be changed in the Mensuration Results window.

Getting measurements at a point

The Point Location tool Point Location identifies the location of a point.

  1. Click the layer in the Image Analysis window.
  2. Click the Point tool.
  3. Click a point in the image.

Finding the centroid and its measurements

The Centroid tool Centroid Location calculates the centroid location of an area.

When 3D is checked, it will use the DEM to refine the calculation.

  1. Click the layer in the Image Analysis window.
  2. Click the Centroid tool.
  3. Draw a polygon by clicking points along the feature from which the centroid will be derived.
