This repo contains developer resources for Oriented Imagery, including 2D and 3D Web AppBuilder widgets, a description of the Oriented Imagery API, and a schema for oriented imagery catalogs (OICs). Learn more about Oriented Imagery on the Imagery Workflows site.
Use the Oriented Imagery widgets for Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS to build web apps to explore oriented imagery (imagery not pointing straight down at the ground) from aerial, drone, or terrestrial sensors. App users select an oriented imagery catalog, click a location of interest on the map, then explore any available oblique, street-view, or inspection images that depict the area of interest using the inset viewer. As you pan and zoom in the oriented image, see the camera’s field of view dynamically updated on the map. Check out examples of a 2D app and a 3D app built with the widgets.
Also in this repo, find a description of the Oriented Imagery API, which can be used to build custom oriented imagery applications.
This repo also contains a description of the oriented imagery catalog (OIC) schema for use in developing your own applications. OIC is the data structure used to manage oriented imagery in ArcGIS. The OIC is defined as a JSON that references a point-based feature service that defines the camera location, orientation, and image metadata.
To view OICs in ArcGIS Pro, download the Oriented Imagery add-in for ArcGIS Pro for free from ArcGIS Marketplace. To create and manage your own OICs, download the Oriented Imagery Management Tools from ArcGIS Online.
- When digitizing in the web app, the user will now be prompted to add ImgUrn and ImgGeom fields to the feature service if they're not already there.
- The Oriented Imagery API now includes the following:
- Support for using a feature service with attachments as your data source.
- Option to digitize features with measurement ON.
- New navigation tool.
- If the OIC includes an acquisition date, the date is displayed in the viewer.
- Bug fixes for auto switch mode and for when near distance = 0.
- Custom Oriented Imagery Types are now available for download.
- Fieldnames are now case insensitive in the Oriented Imagery API.
- In the API, measurement tools automatically turn on and off based on accuracy and depth info.
- Build custom Oriented Imagery apps with no programming required
- Support for standard frame, panoramic, or omnidirectional cameras (among others)
- A built-in viewer for non-nadir imagery, or the option to integrate a custom imagery viewer
- Spatial navigation tools designed to work with non-nadir imagery
- Querying based on current view and filters (including time)
- Image enhancement options
- Linear and height measurement tools – where suitable ancillary data available
- Synchronized display of view extent
- Option to display extents and images similar to your current selection
- API to help 3rd party developers
- Download and unzip the Oriented Imagery repo ZIP file
- Download and install Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)
- Follow the instructions for custom widget deployment
- ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise portal account
- Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS 2.9+ Developer Edition
- Web App Builder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)
- Examples of a 2D app and a 3D app built with Oriented Imagery widgets
