Processing Raster Data Using ArcGIS Pro
Two different Remote Sensing Indices_ the NDWI and the MNDWI used for detecting and mapping water features, such as open water bodies, wetlands, and moisture content in soils or vegetation. Although they are both designed to highlight water features, they differ in their formulations and the specific features they emphasize, leading to differences in their appearance and the features they make more or less apparent.

Higher spatial resolution provides more detail and allows for more precise identification of land covers and features. For example, different types of vegetation or land use can be more easily distinguished with higher resolution imagery. In lower resolution imagery, a single pixel may represent a mix of different land covers within its area. This can lead to confusion in land cover classification, especially in areas with diverse land cover types. Higher spatial resolution generally leads to higher mapping accuracy, as it allows for more detailed and accurate delineation of boundaries between different land cover types.
-Red or pink represents Buildings.
-Shades of Brown represents ground or terrain.
-When buildings and the ground overlap in the point cloud, the resulting overlap area is typically depicted in shades of purple or magenta.
InSlope surface model the TIN surface indicates surface gradient or rate of change across elevation value. The surfaces describe the inclination or steepness of the terrain represented by the LiDAR points.
Increasing the minimum class size should generally lead to clusters where pixels within the cluster tend to be more similar to each other in terms of their reflectance values or pixel values. This is because the minimum class size parameter controls the minimum number of pixels required to form a separate cluster or class.
When the minimum class size is increased, the algorithm becomes more selective in creating new clusters. It will tend to merge smaller groups of pixels with similar values into larger clusters, rather than creating multiple small clusters for those pixels. As a result, the pixels within each cluster will tend to be more homogeneous or similar in their reflectance values or pixel values.
The reason,
By increasing the minimum class size, the algorithm is forced to merge smaller clusters that fall below the specified minimum size into larger clusters. Smaller clusters consisting of a few pixels with outlier or divergent values are more likely to be absorbed into larger clusters when the minimum class size is increased. The minimum class size parameter also promotes spatial coherence within clusters. Pixels that are spatially isolated or scattered are less likely to form separate clusters when the minimum class size is high, as they may not meet the minimum pixel count requirement.
