Classify function-ArcGIS Pro - Documentation

The Classify function in ArcGIS Pro allows users to classify a raster dataset based on an Esri Classifier Definition (.ecd) file containing classification information. The .ecd file is generated by classification training tools and contains statistics and details for a specific dataset and classifier. The Classify function requires the raster to classify, the .ecd file, and optionally a second raster used in classifier training as inputs.

Available with Image Analyst license.

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Overview
Classify a raster dataset based on an Esri Classifier Definition (.ecd) file and raster dataset inputs.
The .ecd file contains all the information needed to perform a
specific type of Esri-supported classification.

For more information about classification, see Understanding segmentation and classification.

Notes
The .ecd file used in the Classify function contains all the information for a specific dataset and classifier and is generated by the classification training tools,
such as the Train Support Vector Machine or Train Random Trees tools.

The two input parameters need to be in the same order as they were entered into the classification training tools that generated the .ecd file.

Parameters Description

Raster The raster dataset you want to classify.

Input
The input Esri Classifier Definition (.ecd) file that contains the statistics and other classification information for the specific dataset, classifier,
Definition
and chosen attributes.
File

An optional ancillary raster dataset to incorporate into the classifier, such as a segmented image, multispectral image, or elevation data, used
Raster2 to generate a more robust classification definition for your dataset. The raster dataset for this parameter must match the one used to create
the input Esri Classifier Definition file.
