What\u2019s new in Spatial Analyst in 2024?<\/h2>\n

The ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension<\/a> provides a broad range of powerful spatial modeling and raster analysis capabilities. Common applications include distance analysis, suitability modeling, terrain analysis, surface analysis, surface interpolation, and hydrological analysis. Create, query, map, and analyze raster data, and perform integrated raster\/vector analysis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listed here are some of the major improvements and innovations in Spatial Analyst functionalities across the ArcGIS suite of software this year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Suitability Modeler<\/a>: Generates a report to represent the key decisions.<\/li>\n
  2. Density analysis<\/a>: The Space Time Kernel Density tool creates voxel layer output.<\/li>\n
  3. Distance analysis<\/a>: Supports hiking function and calculations around the globe.<\/li>\n
  4. Hydrology analysis<\/a>: New Map Viewer tools and performance improvements.<\/li>\n
  5. Solar analysis<\/a>: New parameter to control the speed and accuracy of the computations.<\/li>\n
  6. Surface analysis<\/a>: New Feature Preserving Smoothing, Multiscale Surface Difference, and Multiscale Surface Percentile tools.<\/li>\n
  7. Zonal analysis:<\/a> New Zonal Characterization tool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

    Suitability Modeling<\/h3>\n

    You can now\u00a0Generate a suitability model report<\/a> as a PDF that presents the key decisions made when creating a model in the Suitability Modeler<\/a> in ArcGIS Pro. You can share the report with stakeholders and decision makers or use it to better understand the model.\u00a0This report includes a flow diagram of the model, details on the transformations applied, the weights, a final map that shows the most suitable areas, and optionally a summary of the located regions.<\/p>\n

    Distance analysis<\/h3>\n
    There are two new vertical factor options for the Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation tools (and raster functions). Use the Hiking Time<\/strong> option to account for the adjustment in walking speed when the steepness of the ground changes. Use Bidirectional Hiking Time<\/strong> to find the average time to hike in one direction on an out-and-back hiking trail. This functionality is available in ArcGIS Pro, as REST APIs in ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes, and Map Viewer in ArcGIS Online.<\/p>\n
    Do you ever perform distance analysis for a global extent? Several distance tools and raster functions can now calculate least cost paths around the entire world. The Distance Accumulation<\/a>, Distance Allocation<\/a>, Optimal Path as Line<\/a>, and Optimal Path as Raster<\/a> tools no longer treat the edge of the map as a barrier. The conditions required to enable this capability is using the geodesic distance method and having the data in either a GCS or a cylindrical projection. This functionality is available in ArcGIS Pro, as REST APIs in ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes, and Map Viewer in ArcGIS Online.<\/p>\n
