Term
Definition
Extract functions   select and clip  
🗑
overlay functions   erase, intersect, and union  
🗑
proximity functions   buffer  
🗑
local operations   collects data on a cell-by-cell basis and reports a single value on a cell-by-cell basis also known as spearing - can be applied to a single raster or multiple rasters  
🗑
focal operation   collects data on a neighborhood basis and reports a single value on a cell by cell basis also known as funneling  
🗑
spatial analysis   spatial relationships among map layers involves spatially evaluating traditional statistical procedures using one of four basic techniques for accessing/organizing the geo-registered data for analysis  
🗑
zonal operations   collects data on a region-wide basis and reports summary on a region wide basis also known as lacing  
🗑
global operations   collects data on a map-wide basis and reports results on a map-wide or cell-by-cell basis also known as plunging  
🗑
Euclidean distance operation   also a straight line operation - as crow flies - measures the distance from the center point of a cell to the center point of every other cell - units of measurement are in the same units as coordinate system of the layer used as input  
🗑
combine   -type of local operation - takes multiple input rasters and assigns a new value for each combination n the output raster  
🗑
equal/greater than/less than frequency   -type of local operation - determine for each cell how many times the input values obtained from a list of rasters fulfill the condition  
🗑
rank/popularity   - type of local operation - assigns an output value to each cell according to if they meet or not a specific criteria  
🗑
neighborhood operations   - data from both an input location and nearby locations are used to determine the output value of each pixel - focal cell (input value) is usually at the center of the neighborhood being examined - four types: 3X3, Circle, Annulus, Wedge  
🗑
