General Imagery
GISBox supports automatic tiling and publishing in formats such as “GEOTIFF”. (Click to view the Imagery Tiling tutorial)
The generated imagery service can be viewed in the “Imagery” in the “Service” interface, as shown in the following figure:
1. Add Imagery Service
There are two methods to add terrain services.
One is to enable the “Stream as Service” setting during terrain tiling. Upon completion of the terrain tiling task, the corresponding terrain service will be automatically generated.
The other one is to manually add the terrain tile data and then generate the corresponding terrain service.
1.1 Stream as a service at the same time
When tiling a imagery file, you can publish it as a service at the same time, as shown in the following figure:
Click “Imagery” in the “Service” on the left to see the automatically generated imagery service, as shown in the following figure:
1.2 Add Manually
When tiling a imagery file, if the “Stream as Service” setting is not checked, you need to manually add the general imagery data and then generate the corresponding imagery service.
In the “Imagery” interface, click the “Add” button in the upper right corner, as shown below:
In the pop-up “Add Imagery”, select the local imagery data file, as shown in the following figure:
Then click the “Add” button, and the corresponding imagery service will be generated in the imagery.
2. Manage Imagery Services
2.1 Configuration Item Description
| Configuration item | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Each added terrain service will have its own number and will be sorted in the order of release time. The earlier the release time, the larger the number. |
| Service Name | You can customize the service name. The default service name is the name of the file imported when the terrain is sliced. |
| Streaming Date | Indicates the time when the terrain service is released. |
| File Path | Indicates the file path where the terrain service is saved locally. |
| Service Address | The service address generated by GISBox can be applied to GIS platforms such as Cesium, and can also be applied to some digital twin project building platforms, such as Wings Engine. |
