The least accumulative cost distance is calculated for each pixel over a cost surface, to the nearest source. This produces an output raster that records the least-cost path, or paths, from selected locations to the closest source pixels defined within the accumulative cost surface, in terms of cost distance.

Each least-cost path is assigned a value when encountered in the scanning process. The ending pixel on the Source Raster of a cost path receives a value of 1. The first path receives a value of 3, the second 4, and so on. When multiple paths merge and follow the remaining distance back to a source on the same route, the segment where the two paths travel together is assigned a value of 2. The merged portion of the path cannot be assigned the value of one of the paths, since the merged portion belongs to both routes.<\/div>", "tags": [ "System Raster Function", "Raster Function Template", "Distance", "Least Cost Path" ], "snippet": "Performs a cost distance analysis using source and destination inputs which is then used to determine the least-cost path from a source to a destination.", "thumbnail": "thumbnail/LeastCostPath.png", "documentation": null, "extent": [], "categories": [], "lastModified": -1, "spatialReference": null, "accessInformation": "Esri, Inc.", "licenseInfo": "This raster function template may be used to process your imagery using ArcGIS Image Server.", "culture": "english (united states)", "properties": null, "url": null, "proxyFilter": null, "access": "public", "size": 3529, "appCategories": [], "industries": [], "languages": [], "largeThumbnail": null, "banner": null, "screenshots": [], "listed": false, "commentsEnabled": true, "numComments": 0, "numRatings": 0, "avgRating": 0, "numViews": 148, "scoreCompleteness": 100, "groupDesignations": null }
