Esri( ArcGIS) Image Server Driver Support

Open Zeleksonob opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Feature description

Hello GDAL community,

I’m working with a client who uses an Esri Image Server to stream imagery data to our backend, where we then process and cut tiles. I noticed that GDAL doesn’t appear to have a dedicated driver for Esri Image Server.

Could you clarify if there are any current plans to add support for this? If not, are there specific technical or licensing obstacles preventing such integration? Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

You can likely read data from such servers using the WMS ArcGIS REST API minidriver: https://gdal.org/en/stable/drivers/raster/wms.html#arcgis-rest-api

@rouault Thanks for the reply! Do you know if this driver supports I/O operations (e.g., random access or reading specific tiles), and whether it can handle ESRI LERC2D-compressed tiles?
