Apply Block Adjustment

Summary

Applies the geographic adjustments to the mosaic dataset items. This tool uses the solution table from the Compute Block Adjustments tool.

This tool can also reset the geographic adjustments back to the original location.

Usage

  • This tool can be used to apply adjustments from a solution table or reset the geographic alignment back to its original state.

Syntax

ApplyBlockAdjustment(in_mosaic_dataset, adjustment_operation, {input_solution_table}, {pan_to_ms_scaling_factor}, {DEM}, {zoffset}, {control_point_table}, {adjust_footprints}, {solution_point_table})
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_mosaic_dataset

The input mosaic dataset to adjust.

Mosaic Dataset; Mosaic Layer
adjustment_operation

Choose whether you want to adjust the mosaic dataset using the solution table or if you want to reset the mosaic dataset so there are no adjustments applied.

  • ADJUST —Adjust the mosaic dataset using the input solution table.
  • RESET —Reset the mosaic dataset so there are no adjustments applied to it.
String
input_solution_table
(Optional)

Specify a solution table to use when adjusting your mosaic dataset. This is the output from the Compute Block Adjustments tool.

Table View
pan_to_ms_scaling_factor
(Optional)

If your mosaic dataset contains pan-sharpened rasters, specify the scaling factor between the pan-sharpened resolution and the multispectral resolution.

Double
DEM
(Optional)

A DEM to use within the application of the block adjustment. This DEM will only be used if it is a higher resolution than any DEM that may already exist within the mosaic dataset.

If this input DEM is used, the geometric function of the mosaic dataset will be updated using this input.

Raster Dataset; Raster Layer; Mosaic Dataset; Mosaic Layer
zoffset
(Optional)

The vertical offset used to adjust the elevation layer within the mosaic dataset's Geometric function.

Double
control_point_table
(Optional)

The input control point table will have the same adjustments applied as the solution table adjustments.

Table View
adjust_footprints
(Optional)

Choose whether to update the footprint geometry using the same transformation that was applied to the image.

  • NO_ADJUST_FOOTPRINTS —Do not update the footprint geometry This is the default.
  • ADJUST_FOOTPRINTS —Update the footprint geometry to the image geometry. The control point table will also be transformed, if one is provided.
Boolean
solution_point_table
(Optional)

Specify a solution points table to use to update the status field for the control point table. This parameter is used only when the control_point_table parameter is set.

Derived Output

NameExplanationData Type
out_mosaic_dataset

The output is the same mosaic dataset as the input; no new mosaic dataset is created. The block adjustment is applied to the original mosaic dataset.

Table View
out_control_point_table

The updated control points.

Code sample

ApplyBlockAdjustment example 1 (Python window)

This is a Python sample for the ApplyBlockAdjustment tool.

import arcpy
arcpy.ApplyBlockAdjustment_management(
     "c:/BD/BD.gdb/redQB", "ADJUST",
     "c:/BD/BD.gdb/redQB_sol", 0.25)
ApplyBlockAdjustment example 2 (stand-alone script)

This is a Python script sample for the ApplyBlockAdjustment tool.

#apply block adjustment
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/workspace"

#Apply the block ajustment
mdName = "BD.gdb/redlandsQB"
out_solutionTable = "BD.gdb/redlandsQB_solution"

arcpy.ApplyBlockAdjustment_management(mdName, "ADJUST", 
     out_solutionTable, 0.25)
