Raster from 4 description types to 2 description types

NicholasLabedzki — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 20:46:13 GMT

I have a raster that has four land type coverages within the raster, Forest, Scrub, Agriculture and Urban. I would like to separate this raster into Forest and Nonforest. What is the best way to do this? When I try the Reclassify I am getting an error. I set the new value for Forest to 1 and the remaining into 0. Any suggestions or pointers would be helpful. Thanks!

Consider using the rater to polygon tool. In a nut shell. Clip the raster if needed. Use the raster to polygon tool to make a SHP file. Then you can do whatever you need to do with it.

Finally after a couple of attempts (5 or 6) and restarted ArcGIS Pro and then the Reclassify worked. I was able to get the Raster into 2 separate categories. Maybe it's a bug in this version of ArcGIS Pro?!? I am running 3.3.1

Thanks Sean for your response, I will try your method as well.

You could try using the Con tool to create a conditional raster. Set it to assign a value of 1 for Forest and 0 for everything else. This might work better than reclassifying in military belts some cases.
