Imagery Collection
Imagery Collection feature of GISBox supports merging multiple imagery services into a single service. When a tile for this aggregated service is requested, the system searches for the tile sequentially within the imagery collection. If the tile exists, it is returned; if not, the search continues to the next imagery service.
The generated imagery collection can be viewed in the “Imagery Collection” in the “Distribution” interface, as shown in the following figure:
