Batch indices in Imagery tab

Question

Hi

In the imagery tab you can create an indice of an RGB.jpg. This works fine but I would like to be able to do multiple images. So far I haven't found a tool or a batch option to do this. Has anyone got any suggestions? At the moment I would be happy to be able to do 20 at a time but the goal would be around 100-200 images. I also looked at the raster functions option but no luck there with a batch.

OK!
I hope things worked out for you and you have a workable solution!

Unfortunately the apply symbology from layer doesn't work on the raw images as they need to be converted first from 3 bands to single band first (working on that). From there they can be classified and I imagine that method might work.

Hi Ed

I tried your first suggestion of creating a mosaic dataset. I understand the concept but couldn't get the result. The images were added to the mosaic dataset, when i tested exporting them that worked fine too. When i applied the indice tool to the mosaic dataset then only one image was processed and it landed outside of the mosaic dataset. I imported it back in and then exported to the same folder i tested with the raw images and only the one processed image was saved there along with the originals.

I'm guessing this is because the images are stacked when i load them? Meaning they are not sitting beside each other but rather in stack. A little more info for you, these images are single drones images with default coordinate system. I'm not interested in spatial accuracy, rather classifying them into two classes. Whichever way i load them into Pro they all land exactly in the same place on the map.

Time to try your other suggestion
