Image Extension

The ArcGIS Server Image extension enhances the capabilities of ArcGIS Server to manage, produce, and exploit large numbers of imagery and rasters.

With this extension, you can

• Provide imagery access quickly after acquisition with dynamic mosaicking and on-the-fly processing.
• Minimize data duplication while maximing the amount of imagery products that can be created because image processing and serving has been combined.
• Remove the reliance on static mosaics and allow users to request custom imagery with client-controllable parameters.

Why Use the Image Extension for ArcGIS Server?

The Image extension tremendously simplifies image management by allowing users to directly publish large image collections without preprocessing.

• Dynamically mosaic images in different projections, formats, locations, and pixel sizes.
• Fast, server-based processing enables on-the-fly creation of multiple image products from a single source.
• Provide important service and image level metadata.
• Use effortless distribution, serving very large volumes and numbers of rasters to a large range of client applications.
