I'm struggling trying to load a bunch of orthomosaics into an EGDB Mosaic Dataset. The original orthos look fantastic, but when I add them to the Mosaic Dataset, they are either super dark and impossible to make out, or really washed out/hazy in color.
I have played around with the stretch properties, and think I finally got the color to start looking better using PercentMinMax at 0.5 each, however, the mosaicked dataset then comes out with a bunch of holes in the darker areas (trees, water). If I remove the minimum percent clip, I don't have empty spots, but my color is bad again.
I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.2, but this is also published to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 (image server) as a Imagery Layer (from a Referenced MD) and having the same effect there. My original orthos are in an S3 bucket.
I'm very new to working with imagery/rasters and would appreciate any insight from someone more experienced in this world on what I could be missing or anything else I should try. This is ultimately going to be a very large, ongoing collection and want to make sure I am setting this up correctly.
Thank you!
did you calculate statistics for your data first?
Calculate Statistics (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
I was checking the boxes to Calculate Statistics and Build Raster Pyramids under Raster Processing when loading to the MD, but I guess that is not the same.
As a test, I just ran the Calculate Statistics on one of my original orthos and reloaded it, but am still seeing the same holes.
