1 DGCS in AutoCAD Map 3D 2011 - Overview

1.1 Introduction to Web Map Service (WMS)
The WMS provides raster imagery data in multiple resolutions for use in GIS applications in various formats that
support the WMS standard. The DigitalGlobe WMS supports the following operations:
GetCapabilities
The GetCapabilities request is used to obtain information about the supported map layers, which include various
layers of imagery and metadata.
GetMap
The GetMap request is used to retrieve footprint geometry and the metadata of the layers contained in the Online
Catalogs.
GetFeatureInfo
The GetFeatureInfo request is used to obtain metadata (information) about the features displayed in map images that
are retrieved via GetMap requests.
1.1.1 SERVICE DETAILS

WMS versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.3 is supported in AutoCAD Map 3D
The DigitalGlobe WMS supports KVP (Keyword Value Pair) request encoding only; SOAP (Simple Object Access
Protocol) or other protocols are not supported.
The DigitalGlobe WMS supports map layers of both imagery and imagery metadata. The data for these layers is
supplied in the following way:
An imagery bounding box is returned when metadata layers are requested at smaller map scales (smaller than
approximately 1:230,000). When a map scale larger than this is requested, only an image date is returned.
No imagery is returned when imagery layers are requested at smaller map scales (smaller than approximately
1:200,000). At map scales larger than this, map images are returned.
1.1.2 MAPSERVICE CAPABILITY

MapService enables a user to access metadata by connecting from any WMS compliant software, like AutoCAD Map
3D. All transactions are encrypted using HTTPS, and includes the CONNECTID.
The following figure depicts the schematic representation of MapService capability.
FIG URE 1.1 SCHEM ATIC REPRESENT AT ION OF M APSERVICE CAPABIL ITY
1.2 Introduction to Web Feature Service (WFS)

The DigitalGlobe Web Feature Service provides vector metadata, including imagery footprints, in Geographic Markup
Language (GML) format. The DigitalGlobe WFS supports the following OGC-defined operations:
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

GetCapabilities
The GetCapabilities request is used to determine the supported Feature Types
DescribeFeatureType
The DescribeFeatureType request is used to discover the properties available for a supported Feature Type
GetFeature
The GetFeature request is used to get the properties of one or more instances of a supported Feature Type. The
DigitalGlobe WFS service categorizes features as one of the following types:
FinishedFeature
This feature type provides users with access to all finished product data via a single featuretype
StripFeature
This feature type provides users with access to all raw imagery cataloged by satellite acquisition, or Strip
WTMSubCellFeature
This feature type provides users with access to all raw imagery cataloged by the standard WAC-WTM grid system
ImageInMosaicFeature
This feature type provides users with access to the seam line information that is available with mosaiced finished
products.
Each WFS feature is described by a FeatureID. This FeatureID can be used to request full resolution coverages
using the DigitalGlobe WCS.
1.2.1 SERVICE DETAILS

The DigitalGlobe WFS supports Version 1.1.0 of the OGC WFS Standard. The DigitalGlobe WFS supports KVP
(Keyword Value Pair) request encoding only; SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) or other protocols are not
supported.

Ensure that there are no spaces in the URL when it is used to access DGWS.
5.
Specify the WMS Version of the data you wish to connect, as shown in Figure 2.4.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

FIG URE 2.4 WM S VERSIONS
The Open Geospatial Consortium updates the WMS format periodically, so there
are multiple versions available with which to connect. AutoCAD Map 3D requests
the highest version (currently 1.3.0) by default. If you do not change this setting, the
server will provide the highest version it supports. DigitalGlobe supports WMS 1.1.1
implementation which can only be selected for use at this point of time.
6.
Click Connect. The User Name & Password dialog box displays (Error! Reference source not found.).

FIG URE 2.6 SELECTION OF IM AGE FORM AT
Click the Server CS Code entry for the image and choose from the available coordinate systems for the
server (the EPSG codes) as shown in Figure 2.7.
DigitalGlobe WMS layer can support multiple coordinate systems. AutoCAD Map 3D may not
recognize all the EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group) codes the WMS server
provides. If this occurs, you can choose the EPSG code that best serves your purposes.
WMS layers inherit supported EPSG values from their parent objects, so a child layer (one
indented below a parent layer in the list) may have both its own EPSG setting and the setting
of its parent).
FIG URE 2.7 SELECTION OF SERVER CS CODE
10. Click the Layer CS Code button against a layer (as shown in Figure 2.8) to choose the coordinate system
(as shown in Figure 2.9).

Click Save.
2.4 Loading a Layer

When you load the layer file, AutoCAD Map 3D adds the source file to the Map Explorer, creates the connection,
adds the feature layer to the Display Manager and also styles the layer correctly. You can load the layers of WMS
and WFS datasets using the following steps:
1.
From the Home menu, select Data (Figure 2.24).
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

FIG URE 2.24 OPENING T HE DATA M ENU
2.
From the drop-down list that displays, click Load FDO Layer option (as shown in Figure 2.25).

3.
The Load Layer dialog box displays (Figure 2.26). You will be prompted to choose the layer file. Choose the
file and click Open.
FIG URE 2.26 LOAD LAYER
2.5 Filter Data with a Query

When you connect to a geospatial data store in AutoCAD Map 3D, you can filter the data you bring into your map.
Use Add To Map With Query in the Data Connect window.
You can filter a single layer or multiple layers. You can filter the data by location, by data properties, and by
conditions that you define. The result of a filter expression must be a Boolean value.
To create an expression:
1.
Select the feature classes or feature layers to apply the expression to and the action the query will affect.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

For example, in the AutoCAD Map 3D Display Manager, right-click the layer, and click Query To Filter Data
as shown in the figure below. The layer you right-clicked is the data source for the expression. When you
filter the data, AutoCAD Map 3D displays only the data in that layer that matches the conditions of the
expression.
FIG URE 2.27 QUERY TO FILTER DAT A
2.
The Create Query window displays (Figure 2.28). Insert the elements that comprise the expression.
If the expression startup page is turned on, buttons representing different expression types are displayed.
You can click one of these buttons to insert an expression template.
FIG URE 2.28 ST ART BUTTONS FOR SAM PLE EXPRESS ION
To prevent these startup buttons from displaying each time you create an
expression, select the Dont show at startup check box. You can redisplay them
later by clicking Getting Started.
3.
To close the startup page, click Close.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

4.
In the expression area, do any of the following to build your expression:

a.
Click an element in the expression to replace it with a property, value, or operator. Choose Property
Values from a List for information on viewing and selecting properties (Figure 2.29).
FIG URE 2.29 ELEM ENTS FOR EDITING
b.
Use commands and icons to add elements (Figure 2.20).
FIG URE 2.30 M ENU FOR ELEM ENTS
c. If you know the names of the properties, values, and operators you want, enter them directly.
An expression can combine operations in many ways. For example, you can calculate the area of all parcels
and then find features that have the Street Name Elm and are larger than 20,000 square feet.
5.
In building your expression, you can do any of the following:
Evaluate the value of a property. For example, find features on a Parcels layer whose Street Name
property is Paul. That expression would look like this one:
ST_NAME = Paul St
Perform a calculation, and then evaluate the result of the calculation. For example, first determine the
area of parcels, and then find parcels with an area smaller than a value you specify. That expression
would look like this one:
Area2D (Geometry) < 10000

The Geometry property may have a different name in your data store. It is always
listed under Geometry Properties in the Property list. Insert the property from the
list. Do not change it manually or substitute a value for this property.
Perform a conversion, and then evaluate the result of the conversion. For example, convert a parcel
property called Purchase_Date from a text string to a date string, and then find parcels purchased
before a date you specify. That expression would look like this one:
Create a text expression. For example, you can label a layer representing roads with the street name, a
space, and a suffix (for example, Williams Road or Second Avenue). That expression would look like
this one:
Create a numeric expression. For example, you can round off repair costs to the next highest dollar.
That expression would look like this one:
Filter by location. For example, you can find all parcels within or touching a circle that you draw on the
map.
ToDate (PURCHASE_DATE, MM/DD/YYYY) AND PURCHASE_DATE < 01/01/2005
Concat (ST_NAME, , SUFFIX)

Ceil (REPAIR_COST)
6.
7.
Validate the expression by clicking Validate, at the bottom of the window.

Validation checks the syntax of the expression only. It does not check whether the values you specified are
valid for the data, or whether the results are as expected. If there are validation problems, an error message
helps direct you to their solutions.
8. To reuse your expression later, save it using the Options menu, at the bottom of the window.
9. To apply your expression, click OK.
10. To set expression options, use the Options menu.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE
3 DGCS Tips
3.1 Filter
Using the filter can help you improve performance when working with large sets of feature data. You can filter data
after you bring it into your map, or you can use the Add To Map With Query option while bringing it in and then use
edit query to apply a filter.
You can create a single filter for multiple layers from different data sources, as long as they share the property you
are filtering on. For example, if you have a layer of parcels, a layer of parks, and a layer of hospitals, and they all
share a STREET_NAME property, you can filter by street name. You can filter by location for any layers that overlap
in space.
You can also create a filter for a group, as long as all the layers in that group are feature layers (not drawing layers)
and all the feature layers contain features (that is, none of them are empty).
3.2 Tools to Navigate

The navigation bar is a user interface element where you can access both unified and product-specific navigation
tools.
FIG URE 3.1 TOOLBAR
Unified navigation tools (such as Autodesk , ViewCube , ShowMotion , 3Dconnexion , and SteeringWheels ) are
those that can be found across many Autodesk products. Product-specific navigation tools are unique to a product.
The navigation bar floats over and along one of the sides of the current models window.
3.2.1 NAVBAR
NAVBAR provides access to navigation and orientation tools from a single interface.
You start navigation tools by clicking one of the buttons on the navigation bar or selecting one of the tools from a list
that is displayed when you click the smaller portion of a split button. The following unified navigation tools are
available from the navigation bar:
ViewCube: Indicates the current orientation of a model and is used to reorient the current view of a model.
SteeringWheels: Collection of wheels that offer rapid switching between specialized navigation tools.
ShowMotion: User interface element that provides an on-screen display for creating and playing back cinematic
camera animations for design review, presentation, and bookmark-style navigation.
3Dconnexion: Set of navigation tools used to reorient the current view of a model with a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse.
The following product-specific navigation tools are available from the navigation bar:
Pan: Moves the view parallel to the screen.
Zoom tools: Set of navigation tools for increasing or decreasing the magnification of the current view of a model.
Orbit tools: Set of navigation tools for rotating the current view of a model.

4 Good to Know
4.1 Layers
A layer refers to various overlays of data, each of which normally deals with one thematic topic. These overlays are
registered to each other by the common coordinate system of the database.
FIG URE 4.1 GIS LAYERS
The figure above shows a map. The top layer shows the symbols representing the location of houses, factories, or
commercial centers. The black lines represent the land use boundary. The middle layer shows the land use map and
the bottom layer is the conversion from the land use map into raster model.
4.2 Zoom Levels

Zoom Level is a capability for proportionately enlarging or reducing the scale of a figure or map.
DigitalGlobe Cloud Services uses a multiple-image layer to depict the globe, which depends upon spatial resolution.
The displayed image at a particular zoom level will be directly proportionate to the spatial resolution of the satellite
data. Each zoom level will display images based on the visibility factor and ground representation factor. Figure 4.2
illustrates the systematic display of satellite images based on the spatial resolution.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

FIG URE 4.2 Z OOM LEVELS
DGCS offers 20 different zoom levels for displaying imagery. Each zoom level uses images from different sources,
and provides varying resolution, as shown below:
TABLE 4.1 Z OOM LEVELS
RESOLUTION LEVEL
PIXEL RESOLUTION
Z OOM LEVEL
SOURCE
Low
2.4 km to 7.8 km
1 to 6
terracolor
Medium
70 m to 1.2 km
7 to 11
terracolor
High
.15 m to 30 m
12 to 20
QB, WV1, WV2, aerial
Users have access to imagery based on their subscription with DigitalGlobe. Please contact us for more information
about subscription levels.
4.3 Raster and Vector Data.

Raster data is an abstraction of the real world, where spatial data is expressed as a matrix of cells or pixels with
spatial position implicit in the ordering of the pixels. With the raster data model, spatial data is not continuous, but
divided into discrete units. This makes raster data particularly suitable for certain types of spatial operation, for
example overlays or area calculations (refer to Figure 4.3). Raster structures may lead to increased storage in certain
situations, since they store each cell in the matrix regardless of whether it is a feature or simply empty space.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

FIG URE 4.3 RASTER DAT A
Vector is a data structure used to store spatial data. Vector data comprises lines or arcs, defined by beginning and
end points, which meet at nodes. The locations of these nodes and the topological structure are usually stored
explicitly. Features are defined by their boundaries only and curved lines are represented as a series of connecting
arcs. Vector storage involves the storage of explicit topology, which raises overhead. However, it only stores those
points which define a feature and all space outside these features is non-existent.
A vector-based GIS is defined by the spatial and thematic representation of its geographic data. According to the
characteristics of this data model, geographic objects are explicitly represented and, within the spatial characteristics,
the thematic aspects are associated.
There are different ways of organizing this double database (spatial and thematic). Usually, vector systems are
composed of two components: the one that manages spatial data and the one that manages thematic data. This is
the named hybrid organization system, as it links a relational database for the attributes with a topological one for the
spatial data. A key element in these kinds of systems is the identifier of every object. This identifier is unique and
different for each object and allows the system to connect both data bases. Refer to Figure 4.4.
FIG URE 4.4 VECTOR DAT A
4.4 Metadata
Metadata is a summary document providing content, quality, type, creation, and spatial information about a data set.
It can be stored in any format such as a text file, Extensible Markup Language (XML), or database record. Because of
its small size compared to the data it describes, metadata is more easily shareable. By creating metadata and
sharing it with others, information about existing data becomes readily available to anyone seeking it. Metadata
makes data discovery easier and reduces data duplication.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

GIS metadata has a spatial component such as the extent of the Earth's surface the data covers. Metadata can
describe GIS data, a GIS Cloud Service, or an online metadata catalog. Metadata can also describe non-electronic
data, such as paper maps or offline electronic data such as data stored on CD or tape media. Open standards for
metadata enable the data clearinghouse concept, also known as a catalog service.
4.5 Image Content Specification

A descriptive note about the key features of satellite imagery is provided below.
Coverage
The spatial and temporal extent(s) pertaining to the satellite coverage relates to the content of the image, rather than
its collection or management. Likely coverage includes the spatial location (whether it is a grid reference, place name,
or more ephemeral locator) and temporal period (whether a date, date range, or period label.
Sensors
Each satellite carries sensors which measure the amount of visible light, thermal (infrared) radiation, and radiation
from other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum coming from the Earth. Each sensor is only sensitive to a small part
of the spectrum. So, multiple sensors are fitted to each scanner.
Resolution
The level of image detail or sharpness is determined by how many picture elements compose an area of display or
corresponding raster object. Resolution may refer to sensors, raster objects, or displays. Low-resolution display
devices produce images with a grainy visual texture. High-resolution displays use such small picture elements that
they can produce a near-photographic quality image.
Accuracy
A measure of the difference between the locations of an object as specified in GIS, and its true location in the real
world.
Refresh
The temporal change of the satellite image archive.
Cloud Cover
Cloud cover (also known as cloudiness, cloud age or cloud amount) refers to the fraction of the sky obscured
by clouds when observed from a particular location. The coverage is represented by percentile.
Off-Nadir Angle
Nadir is when the satellite is looking straight down. QuickBird, a high resolution satellite owned and operated by
DigitalGlobe, can be rotated to see targets on either side or ahead or behind. High off-nadir angles can mean lower
quality in terms of geo-location accuracy and resolution, while tall objects can conceal targets.
For new acquisitions, the customer can define the off-nadir range preferred. 0-10 is the minimum (better quality, but
very long acquisition windows due to low revisit); 0-25 gives a good balance between quality and revisit time.

4.6 DigitalGlobe Projection System

Projection is a mathematical means of converting the 3-dimensional model of the Earths surface to represent a 2dimensional medium on plain paper or a computer screen. There are different methods to represent the Earths
surface and each one has its own unique characteristics. Selection of a map projection system plays a key role for
any kind of GIS. DigitalGlobe uses the following types of projection for their products:

European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG)

EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset, or EPSG dataset, is maintained by the Geodesy Subcommittee of the Surveying
& Positioning Committee of the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (OGP). The European Petroleum
Survey Group table defines numeric identifiers (the EPSG code) for many common projections and associate
projection or coordinate metadata (such as measurement units or central meridian) for each identifier.
The EPSG codes can be used to identify the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) for coordinates used in dataset
encoded in GML (Geography Markup Language). They can also be used to request the desired map projection for
a Web Map Service (WMS) GetMap request.
Datum
Datum is a mathematical model which approximates the shape of the Earth. The datum is physically represented by a
framework of ground monuments whose position has been accurately measured and calculated on the reference
surface (such as benchmarks). Lines of latitude and longitude on a map are referenced to a specific map datum.
Coordinate System
A coordinate system is a geometrical measurement of a position, using one or more reference points. Coordinate
system is a standardized method for assigning codes to locations, so that locations can be found using the code
alone. Standardized coordinate systems use absolute locations. Some of the standard coordinate systems used are
as follows:
Geographic coordinates (Lat-long, geodetic lat long, Earth Centered Earth Fixed XYZ)
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system
World Mercator
World Geodetic System 84

The World Geodetic System - 1984 (WGS 84) coordinate system is a Conventional Terrestrial System (CTS),
realized by modifying the Navy Navigation Satellite System (NNSS), or TRANSIT, Doppler Reference Frame (NSWC
9Z-2) in origin and scale, and rotating it to bring its reference meridian into coincidence with the Bureau International
de lHeure (BIH) - defined zero meridian.
Origin and axes of the WGS 84 coordinate system are defined as follows:
Origin. Earths center of mass.
Z-Axis. Direction of the Conventional Terrestrial Pole (CTP) for polar motion, as defined by BIH on the basis of
the coordinates adopted for the BIH stations.
X-Axis. Intersection of the WGS 84 reference meridian plane and the plane of the CTPs equator, the reference
meridian being the zero meridian defined by the BIH on the basis of the coordinates adopted for the BIH stations.
Y-Axis. Completes a right-handed, Earth Centered, Earth Fixed (ECEF) orthogonal coordinate system,
measured in the plane of the CTP equator, 90 East of the x-axis.
Universal Transverse Mercator

The National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) (formerly the Defense Mapping Agency) adopted a special grid
for military use throughout the world called the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid. In this grid, the world is
divided into 60 north-south zones, each covering a strip 6 wide in longitude. These zones are numbered
consecutively beginning with Zone 1, between 180 and 174 west longitude, and progressing eastward to Zone 60,
between 174 and 180 east longitude. Thus, the conterminous 48 States are covered by 10 zones, from Zone 10 on
the west coast through Zone 19 in New England (Figure 4.5). In each zone, coordinates are measured north and east
in meters. (One meter equals 39.37 inches, or slightly more than 1 yard.) The northing values are measured
continuously from zero at the Equator, in a northerly direction. To avoid negative numbers for locations south of the
Equator, NIMA's cartographers assigned the Equator an arbitrary false northing value of 10,000,000 meters. A central
AutoCAD USER GUIDE
meridian through the middle of each 6 zone is assigned an easting value of 500,000 meters. Grid values to the west
of this central meridian are less than 500,000; to the east, more than 500,000.
FIG URE 4.5 UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE M ERCAT OR GRID
4.7 Stacking Profiles

Stacking Profiles are configurable by customer and account. Stacking profiles determine which imagery is displayed
first in cases where a particular image is not requested but multiple are available. These stacking profiles will be used
to help customize the same library for different segments, users and needs. It determines the default imagery
according to a user or account preference. If a request is made to DigitalGlobes services for a particular area (but not
for a particular image ID or metadata), Stacking Profiles choose which image to respond to the request.
DigitalGlobe will provide four different stacking profiles.
Most-Recent. This stacking profile provides the most-recent image among available images as the default.
Lowest Cloud Cover. This stacking profile will return the image with the lowest available cloud cover by default.
Best Accuracy. This stacking profile will return the image with the best available accuracy by default.
Color Only. This stacking profile excludes all panchromatic/black and white imagery from default responses.
4.8 Bounding Box

The Bounding Box (BBOX) is a set of four comma-separated decimal, scientific notation or integer values
representing the geo referenced bounding parameters of Area Of Interest (AOI). These values specify the Minimum
X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, and Maximum Y ranges, in that order, expressed in units of the Spatial Reference
System (SRS) of the request, such that a rectangular area is defined in those units.
The four bounding box values indicate the outside edges of a rectangle, as in the following figure: Minimum X is the
left edge, Maximum X the right, Minimum Y the bottom, and Maximum Y the top. The relation of the Bounding Box to
the image pixel matrix is shown in the figure: the bounding box goes around the "outside" of the pixels of the image
rather than through the centers of the border pixels. In this context, individual pixels have an area.
Rules to follow while defining BBOX:
A Bounding Box should not have zero area.

Minimum X should be less than or equal to the Maximum X. Minimum Y should be less than or equal to the
Maximum Y.

FIG URE 5.1 DGCS PROCESSES
The Open Geospatial Consortium Inc. (OGC) is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards
organization that is leading the development of standards for geospatial and location based services.
5.2 Things You Can Do with DGCS

The DigitalGlobe Cloud Services (DGCS) layers have been designed based on the Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC) standards and can be integrated easily with most GIS software clients and portals. It gives users the ability to
access and view imagery, the associated data points or metadata specific to imagery and types of imagery (e.g.
vector, raster, etc.).
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

5.2.1 SEARCH AND DISCOVERY

DigitalGlobe provides you with multiple ways to search the ImageLibrary, identify what imagery is available, and even
access preview imagery for visual assessment. With these services, you can create a highly customized interface for
your application, and let users discover imagery using the criteria that are important to them. DigitalGlobe supports
OGC-compliant WFS, that offers metadata as well as access to low resolution imagery previews.
5.2.2 IMAGE DELIVERY

Get maximum flexibility with access to high-resolution imagery in a wide range of compressed and uncompressed
formats that can be integrated into nearly any kind of geospatial application.
Supports major OGC standards, including WMS, WMTS, WCS, WFS and KML
Compressed formats include JPEG, PNG, geospatial PDF, MrSID and more
Uncompressed format includes GeoTIFF
EarthService provides native compatibility for KML-based Earth Viewers, including Google Earth
ImageConnect plug-in delivers georeferenced, multi-temporal imagery into your ArcGIS application via a simple
yet powerful interface.
5.2.3 DATA INTEGRATION

DigitalGlobe can host your geo-located data and deliver it alongside content from our ImageLibrary. By leveraging
DGCS, we can provide you with a single, centralized solution for all your geospatial applications, from Google Earth
to desktop GIS, Oracle Spatial or custom enterprise applications.
5.2.4 AUTHENTICATION AND SECURITY

DigitalGlobe recognizes that geospatial data can contain very sensitive information; therefore we have implemented
the necessary security measures to ensure that your data is yours alone.
128-bit SSL encryption
Access to custom imagery catalogs based on rigorous authentication
Optional behind-the-firewall solutions that can be deployed within your secure environment.
5.3 Personalized Access

DGCS enables us to create tailored imagery programs to suit your needs, from the entire globe to a set of strategic
sites. Whether you are supporting navigation devices or monitoring specific areas of interest, we can deliver the right
imagery, at the right time, for the right price.
5.4 Types of DGCS and Definitions

5.4.1 WEB MAP SERVICE (WMS)
The DigitalGlobe Web Map Service (WMS) provides a simple HTTPS interface for requesting geo-registered map
images from one or more distributed geospatial databases. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area
of interest (AOI) to be processed. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images (returned
as JPEG, PNG, etc.) that can be displayed in a browser application. The interface also supports the ability to specify
whether the returned images should be transparent so that layers from multiple servers can be combined or not.
5.4.2 WEB MAP TILE SERVICE (WMTS)

A WMTS-enabled server application can serve map tiles of spatially referenced data using tile images with predefined
content, extent, and resolution.
The DigitalGlobe WMTS provides raster imagery data at multiple resolutions in predefined imagery tiles in PNG
format. The Web Map Tile Service is similar to Web Map Service, but it enables better server performance in
applications that involve several simultaneous requests. To improve performance, rather than creating a new image
for each request, it returns small pre-generated images or reuses identical previous requests that follow a discrete set
of tile matrices. This service is optimized for rapid image tile delivery for display on portals or applications where
response time is of primary concern.
AutoCAD USER GUIDE

5.4.3 WEB FEATURE SERVICE (WFS)

The OGC WFS Interface Standard provides an interface allowing requests for geographical features across the web
using platform-independent calls. While a WMS interface or online mapping portals like Google Maps return only an
image, which end-users cannot edit or spatially analyze, the XML-based GML furnishes the default payload-encoding
for transporting the geographic features. Other formats like shapefiles can also serve for transport. The OpenGIS
GML Simple Features Profile is designed to increase interoperability between WFS servers and improve the ease of
implementation of the WFS standard.
5.4.4 WEB COVERAGE SERVICE (WCS)

The DigitalGlobe Web Coverage Service allows the end user to directly download raster imagery data. WCS supports
four types of formats, namely; Geospatial PDF, MrSID, JPEG200 and GeoTIFF. The Service treats each available
product as a separate coverage; therefore the imagery returned depends on the layer being accessed. If data is
requested from the current layer, then the returned imagery product is a portion of a current layer strip collection. If
the data is requested from the base layer, then the returned imagery product is a portion of a base layer.
5.5 Cloud Services Data Types

The DGCS system provides access to imagery, imagery products, and imagery metadata over the World Wide Web
via a suite of standards-based, OGC-compliant Cloud Services. These services provide access to products contained
in DigitalGlobes Online Catalogs. These catalogs contain metadata describing each of the available imagery
products.
The data available from these catalogs via each of the services is summarized in the table below.
