<p class=MsoNormal>GIS users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>OTIS/GIS is pleased to announce that imagery is now
available from Image Server. Image Server is ESRI’s newest imagery
product that we have been testing in-house over the last several months with
excellent results. It will eventually take the place of the SDE Raster
instance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>**We plan on deprecating the SDE Raster instance sometime
next year, so please begin installing the Image Server client in ArcMap as
outlined below. Note that new installations of ArcMap will automatically
install the Image Server client for ArcMap**<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To start using imagery from Image Server via ArcGIS 9.1 /
9.2, please follow the instructions below. Note that this installation
should take less than 20 minutes as this is a pretty lightweight add-on for
ArcGIS:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Image Server’s advantages vs. SDE Raster are:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Easier / faster for us to publish new imagery datasets<o:p></o:p></p>

style='mso-list:Ignore'>5)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Less diskspace required on the servers means that newer
– high resolution datasets can be published more cheaply than was
possible with SDE Raster<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are adding all the datasets that are in SDE Raster and
hope to have the entire SDE Raster catalog available via Image Server sometime
next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This imagery can be added via DataCatalog/DataMiner (once
the client has been installed) and has the suffix of “Image Server”.
For example, the DOQQ 2004 dataset is available and is named “DOQQ 2004
(aerial photos-Image Server)”. As more datasets are published, we
will send out additional GIS-ls as per our normal method for publishing new
datasets.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></p>
