lidar data
-Perform raster-level operations on lidar data
-Complete on-the-fly processing
-Display data faster at any scale
When you add a mosaic dataset to ArcGIS Pro, it is added as a mosaic
layer that appears in the Contents pane as a special group layer with a
minimum of three layers. What are these layers called and what does each
display?
Ans: Boundary, Footprint, and Image.
-The Boundary layer displays the boundary of the mosaic dataset
-The Footprint layer displays the footprints for each raster within the mosaic
dataset
-The Image layer controls the rendering of the mosaicked image.
What are rules for ordering overlapping rasters when viewing the mosaicked
image called?
Ans: Mosaic methods

T/F: If you selected the option to build overviews on a mosaic dataset, then
the statistics will also be generated.
Ans: True
T/F: Any modifications you make in the Image layer will not affect the
properties of the mosaic dataset.
Ans: True
T/F: You have gathered 59 county-level, 1-meter IKONOS images. You
would like to create a mosaic dataset using these images. However, you
want to exclude areas of cloud cover. It is appropriate to generate overviews
in this scenario during the process of adding rasters to the mosaic dataset.

You have built a mosaic dataset using a set of raster data. You want to
select specific tiles within the mosaic dataset and download them to your
local computer. How can you accomplish this task?
Ans: Add the mosaic dataset to ArcGIS Pro, select the specific tiles, lock to
selected rasters, and download the selected rasters.
You modify the extent of the footprint of a mosaic dataset. Which of the
following statements is true?
Pixels are modified.
There is no loss of image data.
You cannot crop the polygons.
You are editing the source raster dataset.
Ans: There is no loss of image data.
T/F: You have created a mosaic dataset using a set of LAS files, and you
modify the Image layer in ArcGIS Pro to better visualize the mosaicked
image. By doing so, you are changing the source data.
Ans: False

You have received a mosaic dataset with several layers. How do you display
a specific layer of interest and extract information about the layer?
Ans: Query the layer.
You have acquired GeoEye-1 imagery with and without cloud cover. You
want to view it with no cloud cover at the top. Which mosaic method will
you use?
Ans: By Attribute
What is required to create a mosaic dataset?
Ans: You should have write access to the geodatabase and an ArcGIS

Ans: Query the mosaic
What is the first step in managing your raster data using a mosaic dataset?
Ans: Create a geodatabase if you do not have one.
Which mosaic method do you use to order rasters based on a user-defined
location and nadir location?
Ans: Closest to Viewpoint
T/F When you add raster data to a mosaic dataset, the raster data is not
stored within the mosaic dataset.
Ans: True
You have obtained three large raster datasets with three different
resolutions. What is the best method to manage these raster datasets?
Ans: Create a single mosaic dataset and add the three raster datasets to the
mosaic dataset.
