ArcGIS® Server Image Servicesand Image Extension
Fast, Dynamic Image Distribution and Processing
ArcGIS® Server makes it simple for you to distribute geospatial resources over
the web to desktop, mobile, and browser applications through image services.
Image services provide fast and simplified web access to imagery. Image services
are a core service available with ArcGIS Server and support a large range of web
standards, including WMS, WCS, KML, SOAP, and REST.
Highlights
Image services • allows serving
– Raster datasets directly without requiring data conversion
– Images as a background
– Raster data for analysis
Client users and applications can•
– Change image compression for low-bandwidth networks
– Define projections
– Control sampling methods
ArcGIS Server Image Extension
The Image extension broadens the capabilities of image services to include
serving the mosaic dataset, which can manage and process large collections of
images. The mosaic dataset stores collections of images and rasters as a catalog
with fast search and discovery capabilities. The Image extension provides dynamic
mosaicking and on-the-fly processing, enabling the full information content of the
imagery to be exploited. Making imagery quickly accessible increases its value.
Advantages for Users
Fast, single point of access to large volumes of imagery•
Ability to control order of overlapping imagery•
