The Managing Preprocessed Orthophotos workflow provides you with a set of geoprocessing tools that make it simple to create mosaic datasets of preprocessed orthophotos, so you can better organize and access your imagery. The workflow can also accommodate imagery with multiple resolutions and timesteps, so all your imagery can work together seamlessly.
Check out the Try It Out tab to get a guided, hands-on walkthrough of the workflow tools, included setting them up and applying them to sample data.
Check out the Workflow tab for a deeper dive into the more technical best practices for managing preprocessed orthophotos using mosaic datasets.
