Arcade support for imagery layers<\/h4>\n
You can now use Arcade to work with pop-ups for imagery layers in Map Viewer.<\/p>\n
After you add an imagery layer or tiled imagery layer to the map, access the Pop-ups<\/strong> panel and click Attribute expressions<\/strong> to build Arcade expressions, or click Add content<\/strong> to add an Arcade element to the pop-up.<\/p>\n
You can write expressions that return values from pixel, image metadata, attributes for displaying in the pop-up. For example, you can perform on-the-fly unit conversion for temperature data from Celsius to Fahrenheit; you can grab the RGB values from clicked pixel to dynamically color the pop-up text that matches the pixel rendering.<\/p>\n
$pixel<\/code> variable allows you to get pixel values and other pixel-dependent information;$imageCollectionItem<\/code> returns the image attributes in the image collection that is currently in the view.

Improved 3D Search in Oriented Imagery showing tall structures<\/h4>\n
Searching for oriented images can now use horizontal and vertical coordinates from where you click in a 3D scene\u2014filtering and ranking imagery based on actual elevation and viewing angle\u2014so you get photos that truly match the feature you selected. Whether you click a rooftop, the 20th floor of a building, or the top of a transmission tower, the viewer returns imagery that shows the proper location in 3D space rather than ground\u2011level shots behind it, giving you far more precise, relevant, and efficient results for elevated assets and complex environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Filtering by Time enabled in Oriented Imagery Viewer<\/h4>\n
We\u2019ve\u00a0made\u00a0it\u00a0easier to explore\u00a0oriented images\u00a0based on when\u00a0they\u00a0were\u00a0captured. After enabling time on an oriented imagery layer,\u00a0users\u00a0can use the time slider to interactively\u00a0filter\u00a0images taken within a selected date range. When\u00a0they\u00a0click on\u00a0the map to find images of a location, the viewer now honors those time settings, ensuring\u00a0users\u00a0can focus on imagery from the\u00a0timeframe\u00a0they\u00a0care about. This enhancement is especially valuable for organizations that collect imagery of the same area over time. It streamlines the process of reviewing the latest captures,\u00a0locating\u00a0older imagery for comparison, and managing repeat collections in a single, organized place. Inspection workflows\u00a0benefit\u00a0from\u00a0faster access to relevant images and a clearer view of change over time.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2956843,"id":2956843,"title":"TimeInfo","filename":"TimeInfo.gif","filesize":14660428,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/imagery\/whats-new-in-imagery-in-arcgis-online-february-2026\/timeinfo","alt":"Time info Oriented imagery","author":"108651","description":"","caption":"","name":"timeinfo","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2956115,"date":"2026-02-19 17:33:37","modified":"2026-02-19 17:33:55","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":800,"height":450,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","large-width":800,"large-height":450,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","1536x1536-width":800,"1536x1536-height":450,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","2048x2048-width":800,"2048x2048-height":450,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","card_image-width":800,"card_image-height":450,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TimeInfo.gif","wide_image-width":800,"wide_image-height":450}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2957624,"id":2957624,"title":"Divider","filename":"Divider-scaled.png","filesize":32513,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-scaled.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/imagery\/whats-new-in-imagery-in-arcgis-online-february-2026\/divider-11","alt":"Divider","author":"108651","description":"","caption":"","name":"divider-11","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2956115,"date":"2026-02-24 15:48:50","modified":"2026-02-24 15:49:00","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":286,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-scaled.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":52,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-scaled.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":86,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-scaled.png","large-width":1920,"large-height":215,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-1536x171.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":171,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-2048x228.png","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":228,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-826x92.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":92,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Divider-1920x214.png","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":214}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
