Input Mosaic Dataset
| The input mosaic dataset that will be used to create control points. | Mosaic Dataset; Mosaic Layer |
Input Reference Images
| The reference images that will be used to create control points for your mosaic dataset. If you have multiple images, create a mosaic dataset from the images and use the mosaic dataset as the reference. | Raster Layer; Raster Dataset; Image Service; Map Server; WMS Map; Mosaic Layer; Internet Tiled Layer; Map Server Layer |
Output Control Points
| The output control point table. This table will contain the control points that were created. | Feature Class |
Similarity
(Optional) | Specifies the similarity level that will be used for matching tie points.
| String |
Output Image Features
(Optional) | The output image feature points table. This will be saved as a polygon feature class. This output can be quite large. | Feature Class |
Point Density
| Specifies the number of tie points to be created.
| String |
Point Distribution
| Specifies whether the points will have regular or random distribution.
| String |
Area of Interest
| Limit the area in which tie points are generated to only this polygon feature class. | Feature Layer |
Image Location Accuracy
(Optional) | Specifies the keyword that describes the accuracy of the imagery.
| String |
Summary
Creates the control points between the mosaic dataset and the reference image. The control points can then be used in conjunction with tie points to compute the adjustments for the mosaic dataset.
Usage
For accurate control point results, use the High similarity option for the Similarity parameter.
If you have a mosaic dataset with many items, use caution when specifying the Output Image Features parameter, since your result may take a long time to process.
Parameters
arcpy.management.ComputeControlPoints(in_mosaic_dataset, in_reference_images, out_control_points, {similarity}, {out_image_feature_points}, density, distribution, area_of_interest, {location_accuracy})
