Description

The Raster Analysis service contains a number of tasks that you can access and use in your applications. These tasks are arranged below in categories of logical groupings, which do not affect how you access or use the tasks in any way.

Tasks that analyze patterns

The tasks that analyze patterns are described in the following table:

Task	Description
Calculate Density	The `CalculateDensity` task creates a density layer from point features by spreading known quantities of some phenomenon (represented as attributes of the points) across the raster. The result is a layer of areas classified from least dense to most dense.
Compute Change Raster	The `ComputeChangeRaster` task is used to evaluate the difference between two input rasters, and generates a change raster output service. This tool supports continuous raster data and categorical raster data. When the raster inputs are two categorical rasters, the output change raster includes an attribute table containing all the permutations of the from and to classes as well as the pixel counts for all changed and unchanged classes.
Interpolate Points	The `InterpolatePoints` task predicts values at new locations based on measurements from a collection of points. The tool takes point data with values at each point and returns a raster of predicted values.

Tasks that analyze terrain

The tasks that analyze terrain are described in the following table:
