What is ArcGIS imagery?
ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online is a complete software as a service (SaaS) offering for hosting, analyzing, and streaming imagery and raster collections. Save on infrastructure costs and maintenance using a secure, scalable, and performant cloud environment that quickly integrates imagery into all your workflows.
How do I map a cache?
Map caching is a way to make your map and image services run faster. When you create a map cache, the server draws the map at several scales and stores copies of the map images. The server can then distribute these images whenever someone asks for a map.
How to create a cache for an image?
First you must share a mosaic dataset or raster dataset as an image service. Next, you’ll set some cache properties. Then you can begin creating the cache. When you cache an image service, it generates a collection of image tiles at multiple, predefined scale levels or pixel sizes, similar to map service caching.
How to cache cached imagery in ArcGIS Pro?
There are multiple flavors of tile cache used across ArcGIS, but when you’re working with imagery or elevation data, specifically, there are two recommended workflows: Build a tile package in ArcGIS Pro, then upload and publish to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal or ArcGIS Online organization.
How does image service caching improve client performance?
Image service caching improves the performance of image services in client applications. When you cache an image service, the server pregenerates tiles at different levels, which can be pushed out faster than processing the input from the mosaic dataset or the raster dataset each time a request is made from ArcGIS Server.
Which is the best tool for cached imagery?
You may also want to use the add-in Raster Tile Cache Tools (available from Esri Imagery Workflows), which are based on the existing ArcGIS cache solutions but provide a simplified user experience optimized for imagery and elevation, plus an additional tool for preserving and managing metadata.
