Outline An Introduction to imagery in ArcGIS
ArcGIS provides imagery, has tools to manage it and to exploit it.

• Opening Remarks
• Why use imagery in a GIS? • What imagery is there?
- What does ArcGIS provide as ready to use imagery? - What other imagery is there?
• How do I work with imagery? - Geeky Stuff – How do I understand the functionality? - What can I do with imagery?
- Desktop - Server - AGOL/Portal

Who should be here? This is an introduction
• Are you a new user of Imagery in ArcGIS? • Have you used imagery in one way and want to use it in new ways? • Are you struggling in your use of imagery? • Are you struggling with Esri jargon? • Do you think have questions about what imagery is available?

What imagery options are there? Choosing the best source for me
• Imagery base maps(often free “to the user”) …mostly used as backdrops - GSD - Timeliness - Feature content
• Sources for analysis (range in cost) …primarily used to acquire feature data - Modality - GSD - Timeliness/Access - Quality - Ability to extract information

Imagery Information Model
Type Presentation Title Here
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Key concepts to understand ArcGIS for Imagery
Get big value from data that is too big to move
• Only process what you need, …when you need it - On the fly processing - Raster functions
• Make smart use of the metadata - Raster Products - Mensuration
• Point to the data, don’t move it - Mosaic Data Sets
• Make imagery ubiquitous - Image services - ArcGIS Online
DRAFT
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Basic Concepts
• ArcGIS’ information models are - Object Oriented and Interface-Based - Cross Product (desktop, server, mobile,…) - Rich and Robust - Accessible via Public APIs - Stored in a Geodatabase (File, Enterprise, …) - The models behind advanced business logic
ArcGIS’ imagery information model is easy and accessible…
DRAFT
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Raster Dataset
• Primary information model to read and write raster storage (pixels)
• Comprehensive - 1 or N Bands - 1-64 bits per band - compressed or uncompressed - > 80 formats supported - pyramids (rrd, ovr, internal…)
• Read directly – no need to convert
ArcGIS supports working with individual images…
DRAFT
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Raster Type
- Defines rules for ingesting imagery - Sensor specific - Defines processing chains - Defines pixel storage and metadata schema - Defines georeferencing
DRAFT
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Image File, native form
Raster Function
Screen product
Raster Function
• A function that can be applied to a pixel or block of pixels
• Machinery behind “on-the-fly” processing
• Chained together to create “processing chains”
• Geometric or Radiometric
• 38 out-of-the box
• Developers can extend ArcGIS image processing by implementing a Raster Function

Raster Function Chains

DRAFT
Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
When do I use raster functions? Process only what you need – on the fly
• GP Tools - I need to generate a new permanent product
- I can use raster products and save the result - I can use GP tools
- I have compute intensive processing (Models, long transactions, etc)
• Raster Functions - I need an ephemeral or intermediate result
- I am working visually - The result of the process feeds into another process

Raster Product
• Easy to use shortcuts to well known band combinations and processing chains
• Users don’t need to understand all the constituent files associated with an image product
ArcGIS makes it easier to work with well known image products…
A virtual image product – on the fly processing DRAFT

Raster Products
• Virtual image product • Accessible in catalog • Specific to sensors • Built on the fly • Smart use of metadata
Sensor “A” File Raster Product (predefined)

Mosaic Datasets
• A geodatabase data model - (raster data) - Scalable from small to vast numbers of images
• A catalog of imagery - stores references to imagery, - storing all associated metadata
• Flexible, dynamic mosaicking • “on-the-fly” processing chains
Sensor “A” Files

…for the management of and access to collections of images

Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Benefits of Mosaic Datasets
• For the user - Collections of imagery behave as one data element - Define and access “best imagery” - Dynamically order my imagery - An improved user experience
• For the Image Manager - A scalable solution to manage multiple collections, sources - Provide search and discovery - Easily add / subtract and make available imagery - Shorten the time from sensor to use

Esri UC 2014 | Technical Workshop |
Image Service
• Use it as an image (visual analysis) • Use it as raster data (pixel analysis) • Access it as a catalog (metadata)

What are my choices when working with imagery
• One image at a time - Files - IAW - Geoprocessing
• Group of images - Mosaic Datasets - IAW - Geoprocessing, Raster Processing
• Image services - Service end points - IAW, API’s (custom apps) - Raster processing
Different approaches yield different behaviors
Choices driven by workflow requirements
