Image Service of NAIP on ArcGIS #9

Open qjhart opened 9 years ago

What are the requirements for creating an image service for the NAIP imagery for California? Do we need to build other intermediate versions of the data? What are the size requriements of that on a per year basis?

@qjhart In addition to serving the GeoTIFFS, if you are thinking of something like Geoserver serving WMTS, you could also set up a test with ArcGIS serving WMTS http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//0154000003r6000000 Note that we would want to generate those tiles and create the service at Watershed. Otherwise, that would be very costly.

@gwatprg I guess in that case, the question is whether we can use the raw geotiffs at the lowest resolutions, or if we need to build all tiles. Also, I guess we would need to decide the whether to go with Google Mercator or 3310 projection for that data.

@qjhart I think it would make more sense to use the raw geotiffs, rather than tiles.

@gwatprg will that work if we choose a different projection however?

ghost commented 9 years ago

@qjhart Perhaps it makes sense to generate tiles in Web Mercator 3857. There are a couple ways we could do that.
