ArcGIS Image Server “Now Available”
Jonathan emailed me to let me know that ESRI is now pushing ArcGIS Image Server on their front page. Image Server has always been sort of a phantom product, you heard about it at the conferences, but damn if you saw a thing on the website. Well there is an overview in the ESRI help if you want to see what all the fuss is about and probably a podcast on its way.
We have been release testing the image server and are impressed with the response time on rendering, the ease of managing the rasters (no more nights of loading statewide datasets) and the ability for CAD packages to use the same images as GIS (no more duplicate datasets; SDE for GIS and SIDS for the CAD teams).
[...] I was interested to read that ArcGIS Image Server is now available. Now I admit that I haven’t had any advanced information about the product (has anybody?) but was disappointed to find that its only supported on Windows servers. [...]
ArcGIS IS creates orthophotos on the fly… what will happen with their Leica non-competition agreements in many countries, Leica Photogrammetric Suite and ADS40 ?
I want to connect to Image Server site, I have the site information i need but can not figure out how to get the Image server Client installed on ArcGIS 9.2, is there a cost, where do i get the client?
You can get the Image Server client from here: http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techarticles.articleShow&d=33065
The install is simple but, follow the file structure as shown. To add the client tool after installation go here: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=Opening_an_image_service_in_ArcGIS I hope this helps.
Any good ideas about where I should go to learn more other then the ESRI website? And if anyone has any good ideas about how I should run a new service with 7.5 DOQQ’s? Well if anyone can help please e-mail me… jhannah7@hotmail.com
