Types of Living Atlas Imagery
• Basemap Imagery
- Imagery for Visual Interpretation and Context
- Powered by Tile and Map Services
- Optimized for scalability and performance, but limited in functionality
- E.g. World Imagery
• Multispectral Imagery
- Imagery for Visual Interpretation, Context, and Analysis
- Powered by Dynamic Image Services
- Designed for advanced functionality
- Access to individual spectral bands, pixel values, date attribution, and more
- E.g. Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2
Dynamic Image Services
• Working with Large image collections
- Query
- Dynamic Mosaicking
- On-the-fly processing
- Access to data values
• Optional capabilities that can be enabled or disabled
- Catalog, Download, Uploads, Edit, Mensuration, Metadata, Pixels
• Based on Mosaic Datasets served through ArcGIS Image Server
