Cases, ECW-compressed imagery opens faster than uncompressed imagery. ECW For ArcGIS Server ECW provides the following benefits:. SAVE TIME using the fastest imagery compression available. With ECW compression, no intermediate tiles are created as they are with conventional compression. The ECW engine leverages the power of multiprocessor systems to achieve up to 95% acceleration on dual CPU machines. Enables EASY IMAGERY TRANSFER on standard media or the internet.

Being in Australia one of our most popular image formats is ECW. In other countries ECW is not as prevalent. This is geographic anomaly as the ECW format came from ER Mapper, developed out of Perth. ER Mapper was a cost effect Image processing product which provided very good image processing capabilities at a good price point. This led to wide market penetration in Australia but not other parts of the world. One of the by products of this legacy is the ECW image format. Based on the wavelet compression technology it provides for very good image compression and provides good speed to display. Hence it’s wide use here in Australia.

In other parts of the world the same compression is achieved using either the MrSID format or JPEG 2000. Both are wavelet compression technologies and both also provide good speed to display. The fundamental difference between all three formats is that MrSID and ECW are licensed formats while JPEG 2000 is an open format.

What does this mean to ArcGIS users?

Let’s start with JPEG 2000.
It is an open standard. This means that an end user can both read and write a JPEG 2000 image from ArcGIS as well as serve a JPEG2000 through ArcGIS as web service. It is portable and user friendly, the imagery can be manipulated and dissected any way a user needs.
Next is MrSID.
ArcGIS can read the MrSID format images and display them. However, if you need to resize, clip or mosaic you will need to save the image in a different format as ArcGIS is not licensed to write the MrSID format. Generally writing out to JPEG2000 achieves the desired compression results. To make the image into a service ArcGIS can serve the MrSID format as a web service.
Finally there is ECW.
ArcGIS does read and display ECW format images. As with MrSID and JPEG2000 the end user can stretch, reorientate and clip the imagery but when it comes to saving the imagery the ECW license prevents writing of the ECW format so once again it is recommended to save into either JPEG2000 to achieve the same compression or another format supported by ArcGIS. If you want to publish the image to an ArcGIS service this is a different story. The ECW license does not permit serving the ECW format image over the Internet unless you have a licensed product.

The question I get asked a lot is, I don’t have one image but many images that cover my area of interest. They have been tiled so that when I display them they are seamless. How can I make them available to every one as a single image? And I almost ways answer with a Geodatabase Mosaic Dataset then serve this as an image service from ArcGIS for Server.

This answer is quite ok for MrSID and JPEG2000 formats but not ECW. In fact if you want to keep inside the ArcGIS ecoculture then you have to convert the imagery to some other format. From reading above you might say this would be JPEG2000, however, people want to get at their imagery fast and in terms of web services JPEG2000 is not the fastest format to render. Almost in all these situations we recommend that an image cache is created. It is the number one fastest format to display imagery. Your end users will not be waiting for the imagery to display. It’s what all the main players in the consumer mapping market use to display their base layers.

To create an image cache is a relatively easy exercise.
1. Create a Geodatabase Mosaic Dataset and then add all your imagery to the dataset. This gives us a seamless mosaic of the imagery.
2. Make sure the boundary of both the images and the entire boundary of the mosaic have been clipped to remove all the padding (no data regions)
3. Decide on the scales you would like to build a cache to. Generally speaking a 50cm image is cached to 1:512. The smallest scales that consumer mapping applications go to is 1:1128 which is roughly 1 m resolution
4. Create a tiling scheme file that reflects the scales you decided upon.
5. Using the tiling scheme file as a template export the Mosaic dataset as a Managed Tile Cache. When caches for imagery are created in ArcGIS they work from the largest scale first and progressively get smaller.

Now here comes the smart bit. We need to trick ArcGIS into serving a cache of imagery but only publish a vector layer.
1. In ArcGIS for Desktop add a vector layer which is equivalent to the minimum bounding area of the imagery
2. Share this as a map service to ArcGIS for server.
3. In the configuration options enable a cache but do not create a cache. Include the tiling scheme file from point 4. above. This ensures the correct scales and image formats are used.
4. Once the service is up an running, simply copy the cache you created in step five above into the service. Now the service will ignore the vector layer and only show the cache when requests are made against it.

You can now access this imagery from any web application, desktop tool or mobile tool with ease.

Enjoy the freedom of imagery on the web

Each installation of ArcGIS Server requires an authorization file. You must apply the same ArcGIS Server license edition to each machine in your site.

You can obtain an authorization file using the Software Authorization Wizard that opens at the end of the ArcGIS Server setup installation. If you've already obtained your authorization file, the Software Authorization Wizard configures your machine using your authorization file.

The authorization process is the same regardless of the server licensing role you intend to apply to the machine. The role information is passed to ArcGIS Server in the authorization file you provide. If you have authorization files for multiple server licensing roles, ensure that you are using the correct one when authorizing ArcGIS Server.

A valid authorization file is required for ArcGIS Server. To reconfigure your machine with an updated authorization file, run through the Software Authorization Wizard again. To open the Software Authorization Wizard at a later time, click Start > Program Files > ArcGIS > Software Authorization.

The sections below explain how to successfully authorize your ArcGIS Server installation.

Choosing your authorization option

There are three authorization options:

• I have installed my software and need to authorize it.
• I have already authorized the software and need to authorize additional options or extensions.
• I have received an authorization file from Esri and am now ready to finish the authorization process.

I have installed my software and need to authorize it

Select this option if you do not already have an authorization file. There are two methods that you can use to provide your authorization information:

• Authorize with Esri now using the internet. This option allows you to receive the authorization file immediately. It requires an Internet connection.
• Authorize at Esri's website or by email to receive your authorization file.

Click the authorization method you want to use to provide your authorization information.

I have already authorized the software and need to authorize additional options or extensions

Select this option if you've already authorized ArcGIS Server for use, but you want to authorize additional options or extensions (if available). There are two methods that you can use to provide your authorization information:

• Authorize with Esri now using the internet. This option allows you to receive the authorization file immediately. It requires an Internet connection.
• Authorize at Esri's website or by email to receive your authorization file.

Click the authorization method you want to use to provide your authorization information.

I have received an authorization file from Esri and am now ready to finish the registration process

Select this option if you've already received your authorization file from Esri Customer Service. If you select this option, you can either browse to the location of the file (if you received the file by email) or manually enter the authorization information.

If you choose the option to browse to an authorization file on disk, you are required to choose or enter the location of the authorization file that you received from Customer Service.

If you choose the option to manually enter the authorization information, you are required to provide the following information (this information can be obtained from the authorization file you received by mail, email, telephone, or fax):

• Feature name
• Version number
• Time-out date
• Registration number
• Authorization code

Authorizing ArcGIS Server silently

Run the following command to authorize ArcGIS Server silently, editing the command line where necessary to reflect the actual authorization file location:

<System disk drive>Program filesCommon filesArcGISbinSoftwareAuthorization.exe /S /Ver 10.8 /LIF <path to .prvc authorization file>authorizationfile.prvc

Note:

The .prvc authorization file must have all user information completed before running the command to authorize ArcGIS Server silently. Open the authorization file in a text editor, and complete the User Information section.
