To start using image services, you first need to pepare your input data then select the capabilites you want the image service to support. Once you have the determined the functionality, you use data management tools to publish a hosted imagery layer (item) and image service. This process is known as publishing a imagery layer. After an image service is created, you can use the hosted imagery layer to manage the layer and the service settings.
The steps to create and use an image service are:
- Prepare your input source data.
- Select the output data that you would like the image service to provide.
- Create an imagery layer in a image service by uploading your raster data .
- Manage the hosted imagery layer (item) and service properties and configure the sharing level.
- Access the image service and display the service data.
