The Viewshed analysis layer is used to identify visible areas. You specify the places you are interested in, either from a file or interactively, and the Viewshed service combines this with Esri-curated elevation data to create output polygons of visible areas. Some questions you can answer with the Viewshed task include:What areas can I see from this location? What areas can see me?Can I see the proposed wind farm?What areas can be seen from the proposed fire tower?The maximum number of input features is 1000.Viewshed has the following optional parameters:Maximum Distance: The maximum distance to calculate the viewshed.Maximum Distance Units: The units for the Maximum Distance parameter. The default is meters.DEM Resolution: The source elevation data; the default is 90m resolution SRTM. Other options include 30m, 24m, 10m, and Finest.Observer Height: The height above the surface of the observer. The default value of 1.75 meters is an average height of a person. If you are looking from an elevation location such as an observation tower or a tall building, use that height instead.Observer Height Units: The units for the Observer Height parameter. The default is meters.Surface Offset: The height above the surface of the object you are trying to see. The default value is 0. If you are trying to see buildings or wind turbines add their height here.Surface Offset Units: The units for the Surface Offset parameter. The default is meters.Generalize Viewshed Polygons: Determine if the viewshed polygons are to be generalized or not. The viewshed calculation is based upon a raster elevation model which creates a result with stair-stepped edges. To create a more pleasing appearance, and improve performance, the default behavior is to generalize the polygons. This generalization will not change the accuracy of the result for any location more than one half of the DEM's resolution.By default, this tool currently works worldwide between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south based on the 3 arc-second (approximately 90 meter) resolution SRTM dataset. Depending upon the DEM resolution pick by the user, different data sources will be used by the tool. For 24m, tool will use global dataset WorldDEM4Ortho (excluding the counties of Azerbaijan, DR Congo and Ukraine) 0.8 arc-second (approximately 24 meter) from Airbus Defence and Space GmbH. For 30m, tool will use 1 arc-second resolution data in North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED), SRTM DEM-S dataset from Geoscience Australia in Australia and SRTM data between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south in the remaining parts of the world (Africa, South America, most of Europe and continental Asia, the East Indies, New Zealand, and islands of the western Pacific). For 10m, tool will use 1/3 arc-second resolution data in the continental United States from USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) and approximately 10 meter data covering Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Japan Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy, Northern Ireland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein from various authoritative sources.To learn more, read the developer documentation for Viewshed or follow the Learn ArcGIS exercise called I Can See for Miles and Miles.

This cached tile service of 2015 WorldView Orthoimagery may be added to ArcMap and other GIS software and applications. The Web service was created in ArcMap 10.3 using orthorectified imagery in mosaic datasets and published to a tile package. The package was published as service that is hosted at MassGIS' ArcGIS Online organizational account.When creating the service in ArcMap, the display settings (stretching, brightness and contrast) were modified individually for each mosaic dataset in order to achieve the best possible uniform appearance across the state; however, because of the different acquisition dates and satellites, seams between strips are visible at smaller scales. With many tiles overlapping from different flights, imagery was displayed so that the best imagery (highest resolution, most cloud-free) appeared "on top".The visible scale range for this service is 1:3,000,000 to 1:2,257.See https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-2015-satellite-imagery for full details.

This high resolution imagery of Massachusetts during leaf-off conditions in the Spring of 2015 was acquired by DigitalGlobe™ of Longmont, Colorado.

MassGIS had the WorldView-2 and WorldView-3 satellites tasked to collect swaths of panchromatic and multispectral imagery in 43 separate overflights from March 16 - May 7, 2015. WorldView-2 operates at an altitude of 770 km (478 mi.), and WorldView-3 at 617 km (383 mi.).

The pixel resolutions of the delivered data varied due to off-nadir viewing angles and the altitudes of the sensors:

0.46 - 0.73 m panchromatic and 1.87 - 2.94 m multispectral (WorldView-2) 0.40 - 0.46 m panchromatic and 1.60 - 1.83 m multispectral (WorldView-3)

Pixels closest to nadir (the point directly below the sensor) have a better resolution than those farthest from nadir. U.S. regulation requires imagery to be resampled to a minimum of .40 m pan and 1.6m multispectral.This Web service was created in ArcMap 10.3 and published to a tile package and is hosted at MassGIS' organizational ArcGIS Online account. In ArcMap the display settings (stretching, brightness and contrast) were modified for each mosaic dataset in order to achieve the best possible uniform appearance across the state; however, because of the different acquisition dates and satellites seams are visible at smaller scales.See metadata for full details.
