You can use the Imagery Map Feedback web map to provide comments on issues. The feedback will be reviewed by the ArcGIS Online team and considered for one of our updates.Precise Tile RegistrationThe World Imagery map uses the improved tiling scheme “WGS84 Geographic, Version 2” to ensure proper tile positioning at higher resolutions (neighborhood level and beyond). The new tiling scheme is much more precise than tiling schemes of the legacy basemaps Esri released years ago. We recommend that you start using this new basemap for any new web maps in WGS84 that you plan to author. Due to the number of differences between the old and new tiling schemes, some web clients will not be able to overlay tile layers in the old and new tiling schemes in one web map.

This dataset contains both large (A0) printable maps of the Torres Strait broken into six overlapping regions, based on a clear sky, clear water composite Sentinel 2 composite imagery and the imagery used to create these maps. These maps show satellite imagery of the region, overlaid with reef and island boundaries and names. Not all features are named, just the more prominent features. This also includes a vector map of Ashmore Reef and Boot Reef in Coral Sea as these were used in the same discussions that these maps were developed for. The map of Ashmore Reef includes the atoll platform, reef boundaries and depth polygons for 5 m and 10 m.

This dataset contains all working files used in the development of these maps. This includes all a copy of all the source datasets and all derived satellite image tiles and QGIS files used to create the maps. This includes cloud free Sentinel 2 composite imagery of the Torres Strait region with alpha blended edges to allow the creation of a smooth high resolution basemap of the region.

The base imagery is similar to the older base imagery dataset: Torres Strait clear sky, clear water Landsat 5 satellite composite (NERP TE 13.1 eAtlas, AIMS, source: NASA).

Most of the imagery in the composite imagery from 2017 - 2021.


Method:
The Sentinel 2 basemap was produced by processing imagery from the World_AIMS_Marine-satellite-imagery dataset (01-data/World_AIMS_Marine-satellite-imagery in the data download) for the Torres Strait region. The TrueColour imagery for the scenes covering the mapped area were downloaded. Both the reference 1 imagery (R1) and reference 2 imagery (R2) was copied for processing. R1 imagery contains the lowest noise, most cloud free imagery, while R2 contains the next best set of imagery. Both R1 and R2 are typically composite images from multiple dates.

The R2 images were selectively blended using manually created masks with the R1 images. This was done to get the best combination of both images and typically resulted in a reduction in some of the cloud artefacts in the R1 images. The mask creation and previewing of the blending was performed in Photoshop. The created masks were saved in 01-data/R2-R1-masks. To help with the blending of neighbouring images a feathered alpha channel was added to the imagery. The processing of the merging (using the masks) and the creation of the feathered borders on the images was performed using a Python script (src/local/03-merge-R2-R1-images.py) using the Pillow library and GDAL. The neighbouring image blending mask was created by applying a blurring of the original hard image mask. This allowed neighbouring image tiles to merge together.

The imagery and reference datasets (reef boundaries, EEZ) were loaded into QGIS for the creation of the printable maps.

To optimise the matching of the resulting map slight brightness adjustments were applied to each scene tile to match its neighbours. This was done in the setup of each image in QGIS. This adjustment was imperfect as each tile was made from a different combinations of days (to remove clouds) resulting in each scene having a different tonal gradients across the scene then its neighbours. Additionally Sentinel 2 has slight stripes (at 13 degrees off the vertical) due to the swath of each sensor having a slight sensitivity difference. This effect was uncorrected in this imagery.


Single merged composite GeoTiff:
The image tiles with alpha blended edges work well in QGIS, but not in ArcGIS Pro. To allow this imagery to be used across tools that don't support the alpha blending we merged and flattened the tiles into a single large GeoTiff with no alpha channel. This was done by rendering the map created in QGIS into a single large image. This was done in multiple steps to make the process manageable.

The rendered map was cut into twenty 1 x 1 degree georeferenced PNG images using the Atlas feature of QGIS. This process baked in the alpha blending across neighbouring Sentinel 2 scenes. The PNG images were then merged back into a large GeoTiff image using GDAL (via QGIS), removing the alpha channel. The brightness of the image was adjusted so that the darkest pixels in the image were 1, saving the value 0 for nodata masking and the boundary was clipped, using a polygon boundary, to trim off the outer feathering. The image was then optimised for performance by using internal tiling and adding overviews. A full breakdown of these steps is provided in the README.md in the 'Browse and download all data files' link.

The merged final image is available in export\TS_AIMS_Torres Strait-Sentinel-2_Composite.tif.

This web map consists of vector tile layers that form a detailed basemap for the world, featuring a neutral style with content adjusted to support environment, landscape, natural resources, hydrologic and physical geography layers. The layers in this map provide unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display and offline use in mobile devices. They are built using the same data sources used for other Esri basemaps.This web map consists of 4 vector tile layers: A vector tile reference layer for the world with administrative boundaries and labels; populated places with names; ocean names; topographic features; and rail, road, park, school, and hospital labels. A vector tile surface water layer for the world with rivers, lakes, streams, and canals with respective labels. A vector tile watersheds boundaries. A vector tile base layer for the world with vegetation, parks, farming areas, open space, indigenous lands, military bases, bathymetry, large scale contours, elevation values, airports, zoos, golf courses, cemeteries, hospitals, schools, urban areas, and building footprints. Designed by Emily Meriam, this map can be used as a basemap for overlaying other layers of information or as a stand-alone reference map. You can add layers to this web map and save as your own map. Fully display the content of this multisource map using Map Viewer, or current versions of Runtime and ArcGIS Pro. Customize this MapCustomize vector tile layers in this map using the Vector Tile Style Editor to change style, content, symbology, and fonts.

Label placement and properties for identifying features are as important as the symbols that you use to represent the features. Like symbols, labels are included in both basemap and operational map layers. This course will show you how to add and customize labels for your maps.Goals Use ArcGIS Pro to label features in a map.

This dynamic imagery layer features Landsat 8 and Landsat GLS imagery for use in visualization and analysis. This layer is time enabled and includes a number of band combinations and indices rendered on demand. The imagery includes eight multispectral bands from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and two bands from the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). It is updated daily with new imagery directly sourced from the USGS Landsat collection on AWS.To view this imagery layer, you'll want to add it to a map that is using the Polar projection of WGS_1984_EPSG_Alaska_Polar_Stereographic, for example the Arctic Ocean Basemap or the Arctic Imagery basemap. Other polar projections may be used within their useful limits. There is no imagery above 82°30’N due to the orbit of the satellite.Geographic CoverageArctic RegionTemporal CoverageThis layer is updated daily with new imagery.Landsat 8 revisits each point on Earth's land surface every 16 days.Most images collected from January 2015 to present are included.Approximately 5 images for each path/row from 2013 and 2014 are also included.This layer also includes imagery from the Global Land Survey* (circa 2010, 2005, 2000, 1990, 1975).Product LevelThe Landsat 8 imagery in this layer is comprised of Collection 2 Level-1 data.The imagery has Top of Atmosphere (TOA) correction applied.TOA is applied using the radiometric rescaling coefficients provided the USGS.The TOA reflectance values (ranging 0 – 1 by default) are scaled using a range of 0 – 10,000.Image Selection/FilteringA number of fields are available for filtering, including Acquisition Date, Estimated Cloud Cover, and Product ID.To isolate and work with specific images, either use the ‘Image Filter’ to create custom layers or add a ‘Query Filter’ to restrict the default layer display to a specified image or group of images.Visual RenderingDefault rendering is Natural Color (bands 4,3,2) with Dynamic Range Adjustment (DRA).Raster Functions enable on-the-fly rendering of band combinations and calculated indices from the source imagery.The DRA version of each layer enables visualization of the full dynamic range of the images.This layer is part of a larger collection of Landsat Imagery Layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.Other pre-defined Raster Functions can be selected via the renderer drop-down or custom functions can be created. Available functions on this layer include:Agriculture with DRA – Bands shortwave IR-1, near-IR, blue (6, 5, 2) with dynamic range adjustment applied on apparent reflectance. Vigorous vegetation is bright green, stressed vegetation dull green and bare areas as brown.NDSI Colorized – Normalized difference Snow index (NDSI) with color map, computed as (b3-b6)/(b3+b6) on apparent reflectance. Dark blue represents dense snow, yellow and green areas represent clouds.Bathymetric with DRA – Bands red, green, coastal/aerosol (4, 3, 1) with dynamic range adjustment. Useful in bathymetric mapping applications.Color Infrared with DRA – Bands near-IR, red, green (5, 4, 3) with dynamic range adjustment.
