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
