GHS-SmartDissolve User Guide
Documentation Version 2.0
The GHS-SmartDissolve Tool– version 2.0 is an information system developed in the framework of the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to conduct smart and flexible aggregation of adjacent and complex polygons storing quantitative data.
GHS-SmartDissolve is a tool that handles minimum mapping unit, resolution mismatch between layers, or spatial uncertainty problems in GISc. This tool automatically dissolves polygons below a threshold area or a threshold attribute value, updating fields’ values to meet a minimum target area or a minimum attribute value. This flexible framework allows to select the ordering of polygon analysis, different dissolve rules, and different field updating operations. The GHS-SmartDissolve is available as toolbox for ArcGIS 10.X.
This document contains the description of the GHS-SmartDissolve Tool use, with details and description of the different settings and output. The GHS-SmartDissolve, as all GHSL Tools, is issued with an end-user licence agreement, included in the download package.
