The aggravation of aggregation ...

               Raster with some classes                                                 Aggregation using maximum

No Spatial Analyst??? A raster is just a big array... hmmmm. I wonder.

What is available at all license levels?

Not on the list?  There are examples of how to get other geometries to array format elsewhere. But everyone knows about old school ascii.  Splurge on disk space... ascii files are easy to edit.  There are many options available to get data into array format.

ASCII example...

Demo code...

This simple sample code should give you some ideas.  In this version, edge considerations are not accounted for, so should that be an issue, you can pad the array with an appropriate collar.

Purpose:  To demonstrate aggregation of raster data without the 
spatial analyst extension.  A sample raster is created and methods
to convert an array to  a raster and vice versa are shown.
Notes:
- RasterToNumPyArray(in_raster, {lower_left_corner},
                        {ncols}, {nrows}, {nodata_to_value})
  arr = arcpy.RasterToNumPyArray(rast) 
- NumPyArrayToRaster(in_array, {lower_left_corner}, {x_cell_size},
                    {y_cell_size}, {value_to_nodata})
  rast = arcpy.NumPyArrayToRaster(a, arcpy.Point(300000,5025000),
                                  10,10,-9999)
  rast.save(r"F:\Demos\raster_ops\test_agg") 
    # esri grid, or add tif, jpg etc

This is a sample ascii file so that you can

see the numeric inputs and structure of

the ascii header and its data.

Does it work with big rasters?

Does it support other summary statistics?

Of course, I covered the details of raster statistics in an earlier post.

That's all for now...
