Count number of pixels overlapped by points.

mariagarcia

I got a raster classified in four areas and a series of points. I would like to count the number of pixels that are overlapped by the points, I do not need to extract, just to count them, for each raster class. There could be more than 4 points in a pixel. I just need to know how many pixels got points on them?

I tried the 'extract by points' tool , but it only allows me to select one point??

Is there a tool in ESRI to do this? or a two stage process?

I use ArcMap 10.3 and I got quite a few licences such as Spatial analysis etc.

thanks for any advice.

arcmap or pro don't do pixel counts, they can do 'zonal', 'local' or 'neighborhood' statistics.  So if each pixel was its own zone, then it could be done, but if each pixel is part of a zone, then you won't get the information you need.

Local statistics would require a different formatting of your inputs
