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.

Streaming Date Indicates the time when the terrain service is released.
File Path Indicates the file path where the terrain service is saved locally.
