Web Seminar Demonstrates the Advantages of Using ArcGIS Image Server 9.2

ESRI's Server-Based Software Manages, Processes, and Distributes File-Based Imagery Quickly

Redlands, California—Join us for a free online seminar this month that shows how ArcGIS Image Server 9.2 revolutionizes the way georeferenced imagery in a geographic information system (GIS) is used on the Web or across local area networks (LAN).

Introduction to ArcGIS Image Server 9.2 will air on ESRI's Training and Education Web site (www.esri.com/training) on May 24, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. Pacific daylight time.

Georeferenced imagery is an invaluable component of GIS applications, used with increasing frequency since the 1970s, when satellite imagery became reliably available. Imagery can be difficult to work with because it involves huge files and requires tremendous amounts of processing to get it into a usable form.

ArcGIS Image Server 9.2 solves these problems by giving imagery providers the tools they need to publish and host their extensive imagery holdings while giving GIS users direct access to those holdings over the Web or LAN. No more huge files on the local system. No more processing required for geometric correction or color balancing. Just request the area of the image you want and Image Server provides only that area, without all the overhead of the entire image. Image Server does all the work on the host server machines, so the GIS client can be as simple as a Web browser or as complex as an enterprise GIS.

The live training seminar will also demonstrate why Image Server provides superior-quality imagery. Instead of using the current method of providing a new copy of an image to satisfy each customer's needs and making new versions for each variation of an image, image providers can maintain a single copy of that image. This is possible because Image Server can perform any sequence of image processing steps while the image request is being fulfilled, based on the particular request. Since Image Server can provide many variations from a single source image, maintaining multiple versions is no longer necessary.

This seminar is designed for individuals who work with georeferenced imagery in GIS. Viewers should be versed in GIS concepts in general and ArcGIS Desktop in particular.

A broadband Internet connection and an ESRI Global Account are needed to watch the seminar. Creating a global account is easy and free. It only takes a few minutes to set up by visiting www.esri.com/lts, clicking Login, and registering your name and address.

A few weeks after the live presentation, the seminar will be archived on the ESRI Training and Education Web site at www.esri.com/ts.
