Evaluating the coverage and relative health of both natural vegetation and crops in the surrounding area helps to balance the requirements and management of natural wildlife and agriculture landuse.<\/p>\n<h2>Use interactive on-the-fly image processing to achieve quality results<\/h2>\n<p>One of the coolest and most useful image processing capabilities in ArcGIS Pro is on-the-fly dynamic processing. Create and modify raster function processing chains using the intuitive raster function editor, and examine image processing results in near real time as you roam and zoom layers in the map viewer. Another advantage is there is no need to store and manage intermediate processing results to disk.<\/p>\n<p>What you see is what you get as the result of your processing chain.\u00a0 See an issue or the results are not exactly what you were expecting? No problem, just go into the <strong>Raster Function Editor<\/strong>, modify any number of parameter for any of the functions and see the updated results in real time. When optimal results are achieved, save the processing chain as a raster function template, and save the results to disk or cloud storage.<\/p>\n<p>This tutorial will get you started with on-the-fly processing using raster functions to evaluate vegetation coverage and relative health in the Sacramento River valley. You will generate a vegetation index and assign a color map to visualize the results. The workflow has the following five steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download the sample data.<\/li>\n<li>View the image layer.<\/li>\n<li>Compute the vegetation index.<\/li>\n<li>Classify the vegetation results.<\/li>\n<li>Assign a color scheme for visualization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Add the tutorial data to your project<\/h3>\n<p>The data packaged for this tutorial includes a subsection from a Landsat8 scene collected on June 8, 2018, along with the refuge boundary data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=a8ddd9308497428c92706d0d6a31d39e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download<\/a> the tutorial data and save it to your machine.

When demand exceeds capacity, the birds seek forage on nearby productive agriculture land, which is also identified by vegetation index information.\u00a0 Cooperative Agriculture &#8211; partnering with farmers and ranchers to meet wildlife management objectives &#8211; is a long-standing practice on national wildlife refuges. Farmers and wildlife managers work together to improve natural habitat, and farmers are compensated appropriately for their contribution to wildlife resources.<\/p>\n<p>In this tutorial, we examined the SAVI assessment of coverage and relative health of vegetation for the Sacramento River valley and surrounding agricultural land. Raster functions enable dynamic image processing capability and displays results in the map viewer as you pan and zoom the image. Make adjustments to the functions and visualize the results immediately. This helps support wildlife and farm management practices based on analytical information using intuitive image processing techniques.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":5991,"user_firstname":"Jeff","user_lastname":"Liedtke","nickname":"Jeff Liedtke","user_nicename":"jliedtke","display_name":"Jeff Liedtke","user_email":"JLiedtke@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:17:51","user_description":"Jeff Liedtke is a PE and Documentation Lead for the Raster Team at Esri.
