Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Raster | The HDF or NITF dataset that has the layers you want to extract. | Raster Layer |
Output Raster | The name, location, and format for the dataset you are creating. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension:
When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, do not add a file extension to the name of the raster dataset. When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression type and Compression Quality within the Environment Settings. | Raster Dataset |
Subdataset ID (Optional) | The subdatasets that you want to extract. | Value Table |
Summary
Creates a new raster dataset from a selection of an HDF or NITF dataset.
Usage
Subdataset file formats can be either Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) or National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) files
The data structure allows the file format to consist of multiple datasets in one parent file. In addition, each of the subdatasets can consist of one band or multiple bands.
If you do not choose any subdatasets, the default will be to only return the first subdataset.
-
When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression type and Compression Quality within the Environment Settings.
The GIF format does not support multiband; therefore, it is not a valid output format unless your raster dataset is single band.
Parameters
arcpy.management.ExtractSubDataset(in_raster, out_raster, {subdataset_index})
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster | The HDF or NITF dataset that has the layers you want to extract. | Raster Layer |
out_raster | The name, location, and format for the dataset you are creating. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension:
When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, do not add a file extension to the name of the raster dataset. When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression type and Compression Quality within the Environment Settings. | Raster Dataset |
subdataset_index [subdataset_index,...] (Optional) | The subdatasets that you want to extract. | Value Table |
