I'm trying to get a more accurate way of automating geo-referencing two images.  When I use the Register Raster tool, it does some what of a decent job. However, when you move further away from the control points it starts to get inaccurate. I need this fairly accurate around the whole site. It's two sites overlapping one another. Orthomosaics are 1 year apart.   Is there a way you can get more the tool to include more Control Points and maybe more areas ?  I've played with some of the settings like "register Mode" , "Transformation Type" and "Maximum RMS". Didn't really see any improvement. Any other software out there that can do this ? I need to be able to automate this process with Python.  I've attached some images. the curb line is a bit off in the georeferenced image.   ... View more

I don't understand how to add a simple symbology to a feature class created in the the script and add it to a new map. Well I kind od did figure it out but this my code seems ridiculously long just to add symbology from a existing layer. I thought up to line 21 would be good enough to set the symbology I need. However, i had to add line 22,23,24 to get what I want.  Basically I want the user to enter in a feature class, set a SQL expression and isolate the feature they want. Take that feature save it, add it to a different mxd, apply the symbology from an existing layer and save the mxd.  I've heard of Derived and SetOutputParameters and apply the symbology there but I dont understand how to write that in the code.  import arcpy, datetime, os, sys, string date = datetime.datetime.now() namefile = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) prjbdy = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) express = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) mxdpath = "C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\Test5.mxd" arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(namefile, "\\SlopeAdam" + date.strftime("%Y%m%d")+ ".gdb") fgdb = namefile + "\\Slope" + date.strftime("%Y%m%d")+ ".gdb" arcpy.env.workspace = fgdb mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxdpath) df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0] arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(prjbdy, "prjbdy_Layer",express) arcpy.CopyFeatures_management("prjbdy_Layer", "test3") arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management("test3", "test4") arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management('test4', "C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\SlopeAnalysis\prjbdy_Layer.lyr") arcpy.SaveToLayerFile_management('test4',"C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\SlopeAnalysis\prjbdyoutada") addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer('test4') arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "AUTO_ARRANGE") arcpy.AddMessage("Finished Adding raster & applying symbology.") mxd.save() del mxd‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Thanks!  ...

I'm having a hard time symbolizing a raster from a Layer file.  rasterPath = r"......\DEM\slopeoutput1" rasterLayerName = 'slopeoutput12' SlopeSymbology1 = ".....\SlopeAnalysis\HeatSlope.lyr" md = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxdpath) df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(md)[0] arcpy.MakeRasterLayer_management(rasterPath, rasterLayerName) arcpy.mapping.Layer(rasterLayerName) arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(rasterLayerName, SlopeSymbology1) md.save() I can get this to work in the python window but then when i run it as a script it doesnt apply the Symbology.  ...
