Abstract

Temporal Mosaic Datasets and Their Overviews
Track: Imagery and 3D Mapping
Authors: Paul Van Zuyle, Anthony Scardino

Our Naval Regions needed to compare imagery over a monthly time frame. The raster data is housed in mosaic databases, which had overviews built, and shared via Image Server. Our requirement was to store the raster data in annual containers, but also to display it in a monthly time frame. This is not typically achievable for overviews on a raster by raster basis within a mosaic. Modifying ESRI automation tools, we can now build overviews to display in a monthly rate using the ESRI Time Slider.
