Attribute table not changing when using Mosaic on rasters

Hiking & Activities

Can rasters have attribute tables?

Each raster dataset in a mosaic dataset can have its own attribute table. The method of storage allows you to view the input images and see information about each of the datasets.

Why doesn’t my raster have an attribute table?

You cannot build a raster attribute table for a raster dataset that is a pixel type of 32-bit floating point. You can generate an attribute table for a multidimensional dataset.

How do I edit a raster attribute table in Arcgis?

Click the Open Theme Table button. Click on the Table menu item, and click on Start Editing. Click on the Edit button, and then edit the values in the Grid. When editing is finished, select the Table menu and click Stop Editing.
 

Do continuous rasters have attribute tables?

Unlike discrete grids, continuous grids don’t have an attribute table. Discrete grids represent discrete features such as land use categories with integer values. Continuous grids represent continuous phenomena such as elevation with floating point values.

How are attributes stored in raster data?

Raster data is stored as a grid of values which are rendered on a map as pixels. Each pixel value represents an area on the Earth’s surface. Vector data structures represent specific features on the Earth’s surface, and assign attributes to those features.

Why can’t I edit the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro?

The layer is corrupted or broken. The user is not logged in to an ArcGIS Online organizational account in ArcGIS Pro. The editing capabilities of the hosted feature layer is not enabled in ArcGIS Online. The editing capabilities of the field in the attribute table is not enabled in the web map pop-up configuration.
 

What is the limitation of raster?

Disadvantages of Raster Data Structures: • The use of large cells to reduce data volumes means that phenomenonologically recognizable structures can be lost and there can be a serious loss of information • Crude raster maps are considerably less beautiful than line maps • Network linkages are difficult to establish •

How do I view the raster attribute table?

To view a raster attribute table in ArcMap, ArcScene, or ArcGlobe, do the following:

  1. Add the raster dataset containing the raster attribute table to the view.
  2. In the table of contents, right-click the raster dataset and click Open Attribute Table.


What kind of raster layer would typically not have an attribute table?

Rasters of type float do not have attribute tables. So if the button is greyed out it will be due to the fact it is a float raster.

Does raster data have metadata?

Key metadata is extracted from the raster’s metadata and is generally associated with a raster product (and NITF data), a mosaic dataset created using a product description, or for each raster within a mosaic dataset, added using specific raster types.

Can raster data store multiple attributes?

In the raster data model, multiple rasters are used to store multiple fields. A raster attribute table really is only effective for qualitative (categorical) rasters.
