Export Mosaic Dataset Items (Data Management)

Summary

Creates a copy of your processed images within a mosaic dataset to a specified folder and raster file format.

Usage

• By default, all the items will be exported to the specified folder. You can make a query or selection if you only want to export a subset of the images.

• The images will be exported with all the processing from the function chains applied. This tool does not export the raw source images.

Syntax

ExportMosaicDatasetItems_management (in_mosaic_dataset, out_folder, {where_clause}, {out_base_name}, {format}, {nodata_value}, {clip_type}, {template_dataset}, {cell_size})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_mosaic_dataset	The input mosaic dataset.	Mosaic Layer
out_folder	The output folder where the output rasters will be saved.	Folder
where_clause (Optional)	Define an SQL query if you want to export a subset of the mosaic dataset items. For more information on SQL syntax see the help topic SQL reference for query expressions used in ArcGIS. If no query is specified, all mosaic dataset items will be exported.	SQL Expression
out_base_name (Optional)	The prefix for each exported file name. The ObjectID number is then appended to complete the file name. If no base name is set, the text in the Name field of the mosaic dataset item will be used.	String
format (Optional)	The file format for the exported raster datasets. TIFF —Tagged Image File Format. This is the default. BMP —Microsoft Bitmap. ENVI —ENVI DAT. Esri BIL —Esri Band Interleaved by Line. Esri BIP —Esri Band Interleaved by Pixel. Esri BSQ —Esri Band Sequential. GIF —Graphic Interchange Format. GRID —Esri Grid. IMAGINE IMAGE —ERDAS IMAGINE. JP2 —JPEG 2000. JPEG —Joint Photographic Experts Group. PNG —Portable Network Graphics.	String
nodata_value (Optional)	The NoData value for the output data. If you choose to clip your output data, it is recommended that you specify a NoData value.	String
clip_type (Optional)	The method to use to clip your output images. NONE —No clipping will occur. This is the default. EXTENT —Specify an extent as your clipping boundary. All your output images will inherit this extent. FEATURE_CLASS —Specify a feature class geometry to clip your data. All your output images will inherit this extent.	String
template_dataset (Optional)	An extent or a dataset used to define the clipping boundary.	Extent
cell_size (Optional)	The x and y cell size dimensions for the output data. The default cell size is the same as the input.	Point
