Generate Service From Oriented Imagery Dataset (Oriented Imagery)

Summary

Generates a hosted feature service with an oriented imagery layer from an input oriented imagery dataset.

Usage

• The tool allows you to customize settings when publishing an oriented imagery dataset as an oriented imagery layer to ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Oriented imagery layers cannot be created in ArcGIS Enterprise portals earlier than 11.2. This tool is an alternative to the standard ArcGIS AllSource sharing workflow that includes oriented imagery-specific options.

• This tool can be used to publish local image files as feature attachments to the oriented imagery layer. This allows you to store the images as part of the oriented imagery feature service, and control access to the images using layer permissions.

• The oriented imagery viewer supports services with TIFF and JPG image formats as attachments. The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 2 GB.
