I am looking for some advice on how to calculate the distance from a point to a different class of a raster.
Specifically, I have observations (points) of animal use overlaid on land cover data.
For each point I want to calculate the distance to the nearest cell of a different cover type.
For instance, if a point is located in a grassland patch, what is the distance to the nearest cell that is not grass.
I am using ArcGIS 10 and have a Spatial Analyst license.
I think raster calculator might be the best approach for this but could anyone provide an equation that would accomplish this?
