Clean Boundaries
Open Table of Contents ToolBox Implementation
Cleans the noise around the boundaries between zones of an integer grid. 3 x 3 neighborhood is analyzed for each cell and the value of the cell is set to the value of the majority of the neighbors.

Inputs:

  • Input integer raster dataset
  • Output raster name and format

Output:

  • An integer raster.

Example:

Before Clean Boundaries After Clean Boundaries

Notes:

  • Initially the name of the output raster defines the raster format
    • no extension specified - ESRI binary GRID
    • .img extension (for example raster1.img) - ERDAS IMAGINE image.
    • .tif extension (for example raster1.tif - Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image.
  • The initial output raster format can be changed by selecting the desired output in the dialog.
  • Currently only file based rasters are supported. Rasters cannot be stored in a GeoDatabase. After you get the desired result, you can export the raster to a GeoDatabase using the standard ArcGIS tools.
  • The input raster must be in a projected coordinate system.
