Add Rasters to Mosaic Dataset Error

AbdulRafay — Mon, 03 May 2021 16:34:42 GMT

Hi,
I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.7. I am having trouble adding Raster to Mosaic dataset. I am trying to put together data from landasat 7 etm, which I downloaded from EarthExplorer. Everytime I try to do that, it gives and error (screenshot attached). I have tried adding individual band layers (dataset), and folders (workspaces), but neither seems to work.
Can someone please tell me if I am doing anything wrong.
PS: I have turned off background processing as guided in one post.

Kind regards

I would try setting the Raster Type parameter to 'Landsat 7 ETM+' and use the workspace input data option.

I have tried that too, and that doesn't work either.

hmmm. maybe just do it in Arc catalog. close down any other arc instances/locks, right click on the mosaic dataset -> add rasters

Been trying to do that from there, but its doesn't seem to work 😐

Made a new file in a different location, a new mosaic data set, and tried with that too. Still same error.

Are you looking to execute Composite Bands (Creating a multiband dataset using individual single band rasters)?

Creating a mosaic dataset using the individual bands of the same sensor of same path/row of same time, doesn't make any sense.

Hi,

Yes, I want to create mutli band mosaic raster. Am I doing it wrong?

As I mentioned, use Composite Bands

Ok, I will try that. Meanwhile, can you please tell me how do I stitch together multiple tiles that are all mutlibands? I am working on a city map, and I need to combine at least three adjoining tiles to get complete area.

You need to do a Mosaic for that.

1. Make a copy of 1 raster file. This will act as your target raster dataset where all other rasters will be added.

2. Use Mosaic (Data Management) to merge multiple existing raster datasets into the existing target raster dataset (Do not choose the Raster File that you have used as target, in input).

Alternatively, you may create a Mosaic Dataset, and add the desired Rasters to it.

Initially, I was trying to do that by adding rasters to Mosaic Dataset, but that was giving error.

I will now try it with the first method you have just mentioned.
