EVALUATION FULL QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS TEST BANK
●● List the advantages of organizing raster data in a mosaic dataset.
Answer: -Store, manage, view, query, and share small to vast collections
of 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?
Answer: 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?
Answer: Mosaic methods
●● T/F: If you selected the option to build overviews on a mosaic
dataset, then the statistics will also be generated.
Answer: True
●● T/F: Any modifications you make in the Image layer will not affect
the properties of the mosaic dataset.
Answer: 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.
Answer: False
●● 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?
Answer: 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.
Answer: 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.
Answer: 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?
Answer: 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?
Answer: By Attribute
●● What is required to create a mosaic dataset?
, Answer: You should have write access to the geodatabase and an ArcGIS
Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.
●● You receive a mosaic dataset with several layers. How do you
display a specific layer of interest and extract information about that
layer?
Answer: Query the mosaic
●● What is the first step in managing your raster data using a mosaic
dataset?
Answer: 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?
Answer: Closest to Viewpoint
●● T/F When you add raster data to a mosaic dataset, the raster data is
not stored within the mosaic dataset.
Answer: True
●● You have obtained three large raster datasets with three different
resolutions. What is the best method to manage these raster datasets?
Answer: Create a single mosaic dataset and add the three raster datasets
to the mosaic dataset.
