Wayback snímky a wayback metadata nesouhlasí, máte nějaké vysvětlení?

Hornbydd

Přistupuji k wayback snímkům, abych aktualizoval dataset ledovcových čel na Jižní Georgii. ArcPro a wayback snímky nabízejí pohodlný dataset pro digitalizaci, ale POUZE pokud znáte datum snímku.<\/P>

Proto také přistupuji k odpovídajícím wayback metadatům pro stejné vydání snímků.<\/P>

Vím a očekávám, že některé snímky, které vidím, jsou ve skutečnosti z několika let dříve a že world imagery ještě nebyly aktualizovány novými snímky, to dává smysl a považuji to za přijatelné.<\/P>

Je to však tehdy, když nějakým způsobem hlásí budoucnost, že jsem velmi podezřívavý! Podkopává to důvěru v to, co vlastně vidím. Může někdo z týmu esri imagery vysvětlit, proč vidím to, co vidím níže? <\/P>

Mám zapnutý 2019 (r00) spolu s jeho odpovídajícími 2019_r00 metadaty. Mám historický dataset ledovcových čel zobrazující část hrany z roku 2003. Data z roku 2003 byla pořízena pomocí landsat 7. Všimněte si, že hrana z roku 2003 se skvěle shoduje s wayback snímky z roku 2019.<\/P>

Nyní mi moje malá hlava říká, že world imagery z roku 2019 nebyly aktualizovány a proto ukazují snímky z roku 2003. To by dávalo logický smysl, kromě toho, že pokud se podíváte na pop-up vpravo, metadata hlásí snímek z roku 2024, o 5 let do budoucnosti<\/EM>?<\/P><\/span><\/P> <\/P>

Hi Duncan,

For that tile layer, if you are searching for the collection date of that imagery, then you can trust that the 2019 tile layer contains imagery from 2019 and so on for each of the tile layers. However, if you are researching on the acquisition date for a particular dataset within that dataset, other than the listed year in the set you will not find it with those fields. If you want specific dates, I would consider the Living Atlas Sentinel 2a Level 2 or Landsat imagery layers for specific dates.

Both have 'Acquisition date' fields that you can trust.

Hi Duncan - you may have some better luck sorting out the metadata by referring to the app below. I used it lately to figure out when and why the imagery in my area changed. The metadata seemed to be up to date. It looks like you may be using the same thing in Pro already though.

Wayback App - https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the pointer to the website, I explored this and the info box that pops up provides even less detail than the metadata layer when loaded in ArcPro. So it does not resolve my query. Useful website for quickly checking imagery.

No problem. Out of curiosity, what rest service are you accessing the wayback imagery and metadata from in Pro?

Hornbydd

For the metadata the url was - https://metadata.maptiles.arcgis.com/arcgis/services

For the imagery the url was - https://wayback.maptiles.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your question. I have sent this to our product eningeering team to review. I will post thier response here once I get some additional details.

Thanks,

Hey Duncan,

I went in and was looking into your issue and there are a few things to discuss. So first since you are using the World Imagery layer you need to understand that while it shows imagery it is a tile layer.

So what you are reviewing is the metadata of the tiles, not the source imagery. So when a tile layer is created, 'tiles' based on the source imagery are created. So the metadata you are looking at refers to the creation of the tiles rather than the source imagery. That metadata is updated each time the tiles for that tile layer are updated which happens periodically.

If you are interested in pixel values and the source imagery, then be sure to select an Imagery layer like this one - US NAIP Imagery layer.

Once an imagery layer like that is added to ArcGIS Pro, you can use the Raster Item Explorer.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for finding time to help me understand the data.

So using my example in the original question, am I correct in saying that the way back images were archived in 2019 and that knowing from the glacier dataset I have it was showing a 2003 image when it was archived. But since then the tile layer has been rebuilt and has overwritten (?) the original source image date with 2024 date? Would that mean as a user I can never truly know what the source image date is as the metadata is reporting the built date of the tile layer?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Hi Duncan,

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for pointing me to the sentinel 2 imagery layer. This is indeed giving me that much needed acquisition date. It's a shame that the wayback data does not seem to keep that, as the quality of those images are very good. May be moving forward, future versions of the wayback metadata could provide such information? I can only but hope!

Hi Duncan,

All of the layers in ArcGIS Online have upsides and downsides and can be used for very different purposes. For the Wayback imagery, the tile layers perform exceptionally well and look amazing. For the purposes of the Wayback machine, they perform amazingly. The app visualizes what once was so tile layers work exceptionally. For more analytical purposes, imagery layers provide pixel values and source metadata. So the wayback machine has performed its purpose as the start of your analysis and led you to other research options.

I hope your research works out and if you have any other questions feel free to message me on the Esri Community app.
