Error with the color balance... (!)

Hello;

I have a mosaic dataset which includes all the SPOT 5 - 2.5m resolution images in Turkey area.

What i did is that;

- Add the rasters to the raster dataset
- Declared "no data" values
- Built Pyramids & Statistics

Then i wanted to use "Color Balance Mosaic Dataset",

Unfortunately the tool crashed.

In need of help.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Disable background geoprocessing option, to do this navigate to ArcMap main menu Geoprocessing > Geoprocessing Options > uncheck 'Enable' option under Background Processing. Hit ok.

Also, make sure you have prepared your rasters accordingly, you have to prepare the source rasters as per the help document,

"Color balancing can only take place if the following is true about your data:

All the bands have their statistics calculated.
All the bands have their histograms built.
All the raster datasets have the same number of bands.
All the raster datasets have the same pixel type and pixel depth. Only 8-bit unsigned and 16-bit unsigned bit depths are supported.
None of the raster datasets have an associated color map."

Now retest to see if the issue occurs.

Hello;

Thank you for the response.

Here are the things that i did and the responses that i get.

Disable background geoprocessing option, to do this navigate to ArcMap main menu Geoprocessing > Geoprocessing Options > uncheck 'Enable' option under Background Processing. Hit ok

I Have done this as a result the system exits in the process. I mean no warnings no errors just nothing and then exits. Closes itself.

Also, make sure you have prepared your rasters accordingly, you have to prepare the source rasters as per the help document,

I have inspected the document and my dataset has all the required properties to carry out the color balance process.done
- For my dataset I have used the "Build Pyramids and Statistics" tool to carry out that property.done
- I know that "Building the Statistics" does that it creates the histograms for all necessary images. done
- I had two, 3 band images in a 4 band imagery dataset i deleted them and replaced with the four band ones. done
- They are all in the same pixel value - 8 bit unsigned. done
- I didn't understand what associated color map means. Can you specify a little-bit, what can be counted as an associated color map? (Overviews?, Vector Tiles? , ext. )

I have reset the Mosaic Dataset, but unfortunately the problem still occurs as described above.

Thank you for the response waiting for another one.

Hello;

Thanks for the reply,

I am sorry; i know this in Turkey this is what we call "Thematic Raster"

and no I do not have any associated map to my dataset.

I still have the problem.

Hello All;

I do not know what has happened but the situation is fixed. I do not get the problem anymore.

I can make the color balance.

It is very interesting and weird.

Take care.
