3. RASTER PROCESSING SUPPORT IN ARCGIS 
ArcGIS provides sets of Geoprocessing tools that allow users to 
create, analyze, and process raster data. Some of the tools such 
as creating a slope, or creating a shaded relief from DEM, 
performing raster data overlay, zonal and local analysis, 
hydrology analysis, and so on are provided through ArcGIS’s 
Spatial Analysis extension:

Some basic image processing tools, such as image clipping, 
image mosaicking, compositing bands, and so on, are provided 
through ArcGIS core products:

B ^ Raster Properties 
The Create Pan-sharpened Raster Dataset tool is used to create a 
pan-sharpened image by fusing a low resolution MS image with 
a high resolution panchromatic image. The pan-sharpening 
methods supported in ArcGIS include Brovey, HIS, Mean, and 
ESRI methods. The two pictures (Figure 4 and Figure 5) below
