ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online is a SaaS that allows users and organizations to host, visualize, analyze, and share imagery in ArcGIS Online. As a member of the ArcGIS Image product suite, ArcGIS Image Online assists organizations in quickly managing and sharing their imagery data without the need for infrastructure. Once you have all your imagery data organized, ArcGIS Image Online then allows for analysis workflows, including deep learning. For this release, we are adding support for new sensors, support for the vector field template, a new multidimensional imagery layer experience, and additional performance improvements.
New raster types
For the November release of ArcGIS Image Online, several sensors will now be supported as raster types including:
- Jilin-1
- Landsat 9
- PlanetScope
- Pleiades Neo
- SuperView-1
There are new raster types available in ArcGIS Image Online to create imagery for your organization. You can use these new raster types to gain access to additional processing templates to display the imagery layers as desired. Within each raster type, there are several processing templates based on the raster bands unique to that particular sensor that can be used to create the desired visualization.
Vector field template
For scientific imagery layers, such as NetCDF, the vector field template is available to use in ArcGIS Image Online. There are two field types to choose from: the Vector-Magnitude-Direction and the Vector-UV template. The new processing templates can be accessed in the same way the other raster templates during the creation of the imagery layer after choosing any of the scientific raster types (NetCDF, HDF, or GRIB). The option to create a custom visualization with raster functions is still available, but this template creates the visualization during the creation.
Multidimensional user experience in the map viewer
There is a new multidimensional data user experience that allows you to investigate the data, visualize the time slices, and use specific slices in analysis. When a multidimensional imagery layer is added to the map viewer, the multidimensional pane is enabled to further investigate the multidimensional data. Through the multidimensional information pane, the available variables and time slices will be indicated.
In addition to reviewing the multidimensional data, you can also limit the extent of what is available to be visualized in the map to focus the analysis and display.
Performance and stability fixes
There have also been performance enhancements and stability fixes added with this release to further improve the user experience with imagery layers from ArcGIS Image Online. Dynamic imagery layer performance and upload input image performance have been the primary focus in this release.
Did you know: Tile package export from tiled imagery layers
In the previous What’s New in ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online blog, there was a mention of the ability to take the imagery layers offline through exporting tile packages. This requested functionality allows you to export tile packages from tiled imagery layers in apps like Field Maps. The option to export as a tile package is available from the Item details page of tiled imagery layers. Once the tile package has been exported, you can use that tile package in any ArcGIS application.
Ready to take the next step
As an ArcGIS Image Online user, you can start exploring these new capabilities today. The Product Team is interested in your thoughts and ideas as you explore. Influence the direction of future releases when you visit us and leave a comment via the Esri Community.

Is a csv version of the table data available for the public, and if so, where?
Check the notes on the JHU Dashboard page for current information on this topic.
See the Johns Hopkins Dashboard
Yes, see the links in the first paragraph. Several will lead you to the JHU sources available for download.
Jim, thank you very much!!! This is fantastic!! BRAVO!
So helpful, thank you!
Here is a sample web map that utilizes the County level data for the US at the right scales, and shows counts of Active cases outside the US where that data is available. The popups use Arcade to determine the right information to show for locations around the world and in the U.S.
This is huge, thank you!!
Thank You Esri and Johns Hopkins University! We have it in our Operations Dashboard for Audubon https://audubon.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/e43d484191614f3fa1ace1c5e64d273b
Hey Jim Herries!
Good work.
can you please inform me that , the data Is it available publicly or not. Kindly inform
Thank you so much for your time
Yes, it is available publicly. See any of the links in the article above.
Hello Jim, Thank you for sharing this. It is really helpful. We are using this map layer using our Power BI ArcGis Plugin. I just noticed and wanted to bring to your attention that this map layer is showing a red dot on lot of counties even there is no confirmed, death or active cases. For example if you search for Mason, TX, USA (Mason County) and zoom out from the link below, you will see a red dot for this county even there is no Covid-19 activity. I think this is what we are using in our Power BI… Read more »
Thanks for pointing that out. I see it has been fixed now in the layer, where a filter “Confirmed > 0” is now applied. A MIN value in the legend of 1 would have had the same effect as a filter. A MAX value that is too small may cause features to suddenly stop drawing if the # of cases exceeds whatever you save as your MAX value. So think ahead to a worst case scenario and set your MAX value to that, to future-proof your classifications. If you turn off classification, you won’t have to worry about the MAX… Read more »
Hi Jim! What is the best way to get the total for the US? Adding up the states seems to be off. Thanks!
Use this layer for the Countries total.
Hi Jim, We are looking for a layer that is dynamically updated with State Closure information. I’ve looked through the living atlas and haven’t found anything. Have you seen an AGOL layer such as that?
Many thanks and keep up the good work,

I have not, but here’s a useful search pattern where you specify what you want in the title, and add other words to contextualize the search: title:closure covid

Morning Jim,
Am I correct in saying that the counties of the Bronx, Queens and Kings are still missing from the following rest service ?
https://services1.arcgis.com/0MSEUqKaxRlEPj5g/arcgis/rest/services/ncov_cases_US/FeatureServer/0
This is the fourth time I’ve posted on a blog. But still no clarification.
Regards.
Jeremy.
Jeremy, I checked the layer and there is data for a feature named “New York City” which represents the 5 boroughs. To see it, open the layer, hit “Change style” and set the max value to something like 1,000,000 so that the feature draws. Right now, NYC has 210,000+ total cases, but the classification has a max value of 100,000 so the feature doesn’t draw. I’ve let the team know about this, so it should get corrected in the layer, but you don’t have to wait for that if you’ve put the layer into a web map or other app… Read more »
