ArcGIS Image Server 11.5 includes updates, enhancements, new tools, and improved functionality.
If you're upgrading from 11.4 or an earlier release to ArcGIS Image Server 11.5, you must reauthorize the software. You can obtain a new license file from My Esri.
Imagery content management
- You can now add Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) layers to maps using their URLs in Map Viewer.
Map Viewer
The subsections below describe imagery display and raster analysis updates to Map Viewer.
- The Geographic transformations environment setting is now available for raster analysis.
- You can now select imagery layers or WCS imagery layers and zoom to their source resolution. This option sets the display scale to view the raster data at its optimum resolution.
- You can now access variable and dimension information for a multidimensional imagery layer when configuring pop-ups. This information includes variable name and dimensions such as time and depth.
Raster analysis
Raster analysis and function updates are described below.
Raster analysis tools
The following raster analysis tools are new:
- Tabulate Area—Calculates the cross-tabulated areas between two datasets and reports the results as a table.
- Zonal Geometry as Table—Calculates geometry measures for each zone in a dataset and reports the results as a table.
The following raster analysis tools have been enhanced:
- Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation—Performance improvements were made to these tools when using the Input vertical raster or Input horizontal raster parameters.
- Distance Accumulation, Distance Allocation, and Optimal Region Connections—These tools now benefit from configuring a temporary location for raster analysis tools when performing distributed computing across multiple machines.
Raster functions
The following raster functions have been enhanced:
- Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation raster functions have two new options for the Vertical factor parameter: Hiking time and Bidirectional hiking time. The performance of these tools has also been improved if the Distance method parameter value is Geodesic, or if the Vertical factor or Horizontal factor parameters are set.
ArcGIS REST API
The updates described below were made to ArcGIS REST API.
Raster analysis tasks
The Geographic Transformation environment has been added to all raster analysis tasks that honor Output Spatial Reference.
The new Geomorphon Landforms task classifies terrain into common landform types.
The following raster analysis tasks have been enhanced:
- DistanceAccumulation and DistanceAllocation—Performance improvements were made to these tasks when using the inputVerticalRaster or inputHorizontalRaster parameters.
- DistanceAccumulation, DistanceAllocation, and OptimalRegionConnections—These tools now benefit from configuring a temporary location for raster analysis tools when performing distributed computing across multiple machines.
