Generate Probability Outputs

Ed_ — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 21:47:55 GMT

It would be really nice to be able to generate additional/optional probability output rasters or feature class using multiclass models using the Classify Pixels using Deep Learning (various models like UNet, PSPNet and etc.) or Classify Objects using Deep Learning (various model types).

I came across this comment from one of the folks at ESRI about the limitation behind UNet not having the probability option at the moment.

Classify Pixels Using Deep Learning - Probability Rasters

However the random trees model in ArcHydro which can be used for multiclass predictions does have that option, hence it should be doable with object detection and pixel classification model types as well.

Any update on this whether it's being considered or not?

In the mean time is there another workflow in Pro 3.5 using different tools that can help generate probability rasters from UNet pixel classification output raster?

hi @Ed_

That is an insightful suggestion; thank you for bringing up the Variable Importance concept from traditional ML. I will share this specific request for Explainable AI (XAI) feature importance in deep learning with our team for consideration. @priyankapriyanka @ShivaniPathak
