CARIS HIPS and SIPS : CARIS Batch Utility : BASE Editor Processes : Add to Raster Combine
 

Add to Raster Combine

Description

The AddToRasterCombine process adds sources to an existing combined raster using the combine process parameters stored in the CSAR metadata. This produces the same result as doing the original combine with all of the sources.

Inputs

The first input must be a CSAR raster surface that was generated by a local combine process. The second input is one or more raster surfaces, point clouds and/or variable resolution surfaces. The second input can include specific named files and/or folder locations with a wildcard, for example, D:\*.csar. Datasets that were previously considered for the first input cannot be specified a second time. The locations can be specified by file paths or URIs.

Outputs

A CSAR raster surface.

Example

Objective

You want to add a source to an existing combined raster.

Description

Command Line Syntax

The first input is a raster combine surface named Combined.csar located at D:\BatchSample.

D:\BatchSample\Combined.csar

The newer source raster surface, NewSurface.csar, located at D:\BatchSample, will be added to the existing combine surface.

D:\BatchSample\NewSurface.csar

The output surface will be named UpdatedRaster.csar and saved to the same location as the source files.

D:\BatchSample\UpdatedRaster.csar

Command Line

carisbatch --run AddToRasterCombine D:\BatchSample\Combined.csar D:\BatchSample\NewSurface.csar D:\BatchSample\UpdatedRaster.csar

Outcome

A new combined surface is created in the specified location.

Extra Notes

The process results in a new output combined surface whether or not the incorporation of the new sources resulted in any new node band values.
