Standardising rasters in arcpy

[DanielFuller]

Hello

I have to to standardise some rasters using a loop and following equation

X1= (X - X.min())/(X.max()-X.min())

where X is the original dataset, and X1 the new standardized dataset, which has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 1.

I was wondering how I would go about doing this? the current code I have is 

for calc in projected_rast:
    print calc
    minLSTresult = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(calc, "MINIMUM")
    maxLSTresult = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(calc, "MAXIMUM")
    standardised = ((calc - minLSTresult)/(maxLSTresult-minLSTresult))
    standardised.save()

were projected_rast is a list of strings to my rasters

What does it yield?

Are you using ArcMap? (your print statement suggests python 2.7)

Do you have any null areas/values?

Of course you could use RasterToNumPyArray and use numpy to do the work quickly.

import numpy as np
a = np.arange(0, 12.).reshape(4, 3)
a
array([[ 0.,  1.,  2.],
       [ 3.,  4.,  5.],
       [ 6.,  7.,  8.],
       [ 9., 10., 11.]])

a_min = np.nanmin(a)
a_max = np.nanmax(a)
a_stand = (a - a_min) / (a_max - a_min)

a_stand
array([[0.        , 0.09090909, 0.18181818],
       [0.27272727, 0.36363636, 0.45454545],
       [0.54545455, 0.63636364, 0.72727273],
       [0.81818182, 0.90909091, 1.        ]])

a Raster object has maximum and minimum properties (if statistics have been calculated).

for calc in projected_rast:
    print(calc)
    raster = arcpy.Raster(calc)
    minLSTresult = raster.minimum
    maxLSTresult = raster.maximum
    standardised = ((raster - minLSTresult)/(maxLSTresult-minLSTresult))
    standardised.save()

Worked perfectly 🙂
