What type of service can provide specific products to the client in AGS?

An image service is designed to provide specific products, such as images and imagery layers, to clients in ArcGIS. It allows users to access and interact with raster data effectively, enabling a range of functionalities such as dynamic visualization, processing, and annotation of images without needing to download the entire dataset.

This service type is particularly useful for high-resolution imagery, where users might need to access only specific portions or layers of the data based on their requirements. Image services can also include capabilities like defining the extent, rendering options, and applying various calculations or analyses on the fly.

In contrast, dynamic services typically provide map data that can change based on the user’s interaction, while mosaic dataset services aggregate multiple raster datasets without offering the same specific product-focused functionalities. Raster services generally refer to services that deliver raster data but do not have the advanced capabilities dedicated to imagery that image services provide.
