# CesiumJS Imagery Layers

> CesiumJS v1.143 -- Imagery providers supply raster tile data rendered on the Globe
> or draped over a Cesium3DTileset. The three core abstractions are **ImageryProvider**
> (fetches tiles), **ImageryLayer** (display settings), and
> **ImageryLayerCollection** (ordered stack on the globe).

```
ImageryProvider        (abstract -- fetches tile images)
  -> ImageryLayer      (wraps one provider; alpha, brightness, split, etc.)
    -> ImageryLayerCollection  (ordered stack; index 0 = base layer)
      -> Globe / Cesium3DTileset
```

Layers render bottom-to-top. Index 0 is the **base layer**, stretched to fill
the globe even if its rectangle does not cover the entire world.

## Quick Start and ImageryLayer Factories

When creating a viewer for imagery work, disable unneeded widgets so the imagery
is the visual focus. Use `camera.setView` (not `flyTo`) when you need the camera
in position immediately — `flyTo` animates and may not finish before your code
continues.

```js
import { Viewer, ImageryLayer, IonImageryProvider, IonWorldImageryStyle, Math as CesiumMath } from "cesium";

// Clean viewer -- disable widgets that distract from imagery
const viewer = new Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
  animation: false,
  timeline: false,
  navigationHelpButton: false,
  navigationInstructionsInitiallyVisible: false,
});

// Position camera immediately (no animation)
viewer.camera.setView({
  destination: Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(-73.0, 41.0, 1500000),
  orientation: {
    heading: 0.0,
    pitch: CesiumMath.toRadians(-90), // look straight down
    roll: 0.0,
  },
});

// Explicit base layer choice
const viewer2 = new Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
  baseLayer: ImageryLayer.fromWorldImagery(),
});

// fromProviderAsync -- wraps any async provider; returns ImageryLayer immediately
const nightLayer = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(3812), // Earth at Night
);
nightLayer.alpha = 0.5;
nightLayer.brightness = 2.0;
viewer.imageryLayers.add(nightLayer);

// fromWorldImagery with style override
const roadLayer = ImageryLayer.fromWorldImagery({
  style: IonWorldImageryStyle.ROAD,
});
viewer.imageryLayers.add(roadLayer);
```

### Camera Height Reference for Imagery Scenes

Use `camera.setView` with these approximate heights:

| Scale | Height (m) | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Street / block | 500–2,000 | Downtown intersection |
| City | 5,000–25,000 | Washington DC, Paris |
| Metro area | 50,000–200,000 | Greater London |
| Region / state | 300,000–1,500,000 | Florida, Japan |
| Continent | 3,000,000–8,000,000 | Europe, North America |

For top-down (map-style) views set `pitch: CesiumMath.toRadians(-90)`.
For oblique 3D views set `pitch: CesiumMath.toRadians(-35)` to `CesiumMath.toRadians(-60)`.

## ImageryLayerCollection API

Access via `viewer.imageryLayers` (same as `viewer.scene.imageryLayers`).

```js
const layers = viewer.imageryLayers;

layers.add(myLayer);              // add on top
layers.add(myLayer, 0);           // add at index
layers.addImageryProvider(provider); // create layer + add

layers.raise(myLayer);            // move up one
layers.lower(myLayer);            // move down one
layers.raiseToTop(myLayer);       // move to top
layers.lowerToBottom(myLayer);    // move to bottom

layers.remove(myLayer);           // remove and destroy
layers.remove(myLayer, false);    // remove without destroying
layers.removeAll();

const count = layers.length;
const base  = layers.get(0);
const idx   = layers.indexOf(myLayer);
const has   = layers.contains(myLayer);
```

Events: `layerAdded(layer, index)`, `layerRemoved(layer, index)`,
`layerMoved(layer, newIndex, oldIndex)`, `layerShownOrHidden(layer, index, show)`.

## ImageryLayer Display Properties

Properties accept a number or a per-tile callback `(frameState, layer, x, y, level) => value`.

| Property | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `alpha` | 1.0 | 0 = transparent, 1 = opaque |
| `brightness` | 1.0 | < 1 darker, > 1 brighter |
| `contrast` | 1.0 | < 1 lower, > 1 higher |
| `hue` | 0.0 | Shift in radians |
| `saturation` | 1.0 | < 1 desaturated, > 1 oversaturated |
| `gamma` | 1.0 | Gamma correction |
| `show` | true | Visibility toggle |
| `splitDirection` | `SplitDirection.NONE` | LEFT, RIGHT, or NONE |
| `nightAlpha` / `dayAlpha` | 1.0 | Requires `Globe.enableLighting` |

Additional options: `rectangle`, `minimumTerrainLevel` / `maximumTerrainLevel`,
`cutoutRectangle`, `colorToAlpha` / `colorToAlphaThreshold`,
`minificationFilter` / `magnificationFilter` (LINEAR default, or NEAREST).

```js
// Adjust appearance at runtime
layer.alpha = 0.7;
layer.brightness = 1.3;
layer.contrast = 1.5;
layer.saturation = 0.5;
layer.gamma = 1.2;
```

## Swapping the Base Layer

Remove the default base layer and replace it at index 0. The replacement becomes
the new base layer, stretched to fill the globe.

```js
import { ImageryLayer, OpenStreetMapImageryProvider } from "cesium";

// Remove default Bing aerial
viewer.imageryLayers.remove(viewer.imageryLayers.get(0));

// Add OSM as new base layer at index 0
const osmLayer = new ImageryLayer(
  new OpenStreetMapImageryProvider({
    url: "https://tile.openstreetmap.org/",
    maximumLevel: 19,
    credit: "OpenStreetMap contributors",
  }),
);
viewer.imageryLayers.add(osmLayer, 0);
```

## Imagery Providers

### IonImageryProvider

```js
// Always use fromAssetId (async factory); never call constructor directly
const layer = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(3812),
);
viewer.imageryLayers.add(layer);
```

### OpenStreetMapImageryProvider

Extends UrlTemplateImageryProvider for Slippy tile servers.

```js
const osm = new OpenStreetMapImageryProvider({
  url: "https://tile.openstreetmap.org/",
  maximumLevel: 19,
  credit: "OpenStreetMap contributors",
  // retinaTiles: true,  // request @2x tiles
});
viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(osm);
```

### UrlTemplateImageryProvider

The most flexible provider. Placeholders: `{x}`, `{y}`, `{z}`, `{s}`,
`{reverseX/Y/Z}`, `{west/south/east/northDegrees}`,
`{west/south/east/northProjected}`, `{width}`, `{height}`.

```js
import { UrlTemplateImageryProvider, GeographicTilingScheme, buildModuleUrl } from "cesium";

// TMS-style with Geographic tiling
const tms = new UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
  url: buildModuleUrl("Assets/Textures/NaturalEarthII") + "/{z}/{x}/{reverseY}.jpg",
  tilingScheme: new GeographicTilingScheme(),
  maximumLevel: 5,
});
viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(tms);

// Carto Positron with subdomains
const positron = new UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
  url: "https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
  subdomains: "abcd",
  credit: "Map tiles by CartoDB, under CC BY 3.0. Data by OpenStreetMap, under ODbL.",
});

// Custom tags for time-varying data
const custom = new UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
  url: "https://yourserver/{Time}/{z}/{y}/{x}.png",
  customTags: {
    Time: (imageryProvider, x, y, level) => "20240101",
  },
});
```

### WebMapServiceImageryProvider (WMS)

```js
import { WebMapServiceImageryProvider, ImageryLayer, Rectangle } from "cesium";

const wms = new WebMapServiceImageryProvider({
  url: "https://basemap.nationalmap.gov:443/arcgis/services/USGSHydroCached/MapServer/WMSServer",
  layers: "0",
  rectangle: Rectangle.fromDegrees(-180, -90, 180, 90),
  // parameters: { transparent: true, format: "image/png" },
  // crs: "EPSG:4326",  // WMS >= 1.3.0
  // srs: "EPSG:4326",  // WMS 1.1.x
});
viewer.imageryLayers.add(new ImageryLayer(wms));
```

### WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider (WMTS)

Required options: `url`, `layer`, `style`, `tileMatrixSetID`.

```js
import { WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider, Credit } from "cesium";

const wmts = new WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider({
  url: "https://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/USGSShadedReliefOnly/MapServer/WMTS",
  layer: "USGSShadedReliefOnly",
  style: "default",
  format: "image/jpeg",
  tileMatrixSetID: "default028mm",
  maximumLevel: 19,
  credit: new Credit("U. S. Geological Survey"),
});
viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(wmts);
```

**GetFeatureInfo (1.140+, #13196):** `WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider` now supports
`pickFeatures` for both KVP and RESTful WMTS services. Enable it with the new
constructor options `enablePickFeatures`, `getFeatureInfoFormats`,
`getFeatureInfoUrl`, and `getFeatureInfoParameters`; then call
`provider.pickFeatures(x, y, level, longitude, latitude)` (the same signature WMS
uses) to query attributes at a location.

### ArcGisMapServerImageryProvider

```js
import { ArcGisMapServerImageryProvider, ArcGisMapService, ArcGisBaseMapType, ImageryLayer } from "cesium";

ArcGisMapService.defaultAccessToken = "<YOUR_ARCGIS_TOKEN>";

// From basemap type enum: SATELLITE, OCEANS, HILLSHADE
const arcgis = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  ArcGisMapServerImageryProvider.fromBasemapType(ArcGisBaseMapType.SATELLITE),
);
viewer.imageryLayers.add(arcgis);

// From a specific MapServer URL
const streets = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  ArcGisMapServerImageryProvider.fromUrl(
    "https://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer",
  ),
);
```

### BingMapsImageryProvider

```js
import { BingMapsImageryProvider, BingMapsStyle, ImageryLayer } from "cesium";

const bing = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  BingMapsImageryProvider.fromUrl("https://dev.virtualearth.net", {
    key: "<YOUR_BING_KEY>",
    mapStyle: BingMapsStyle.AERIAL_WITH_LABELS_ON_DEMAND,
  }),
);
viewer.imageryLayers.add(bing);
```

Styles: `AERIAL`, `AERIAL_WITH_LABELS_ON_DEMAND`, `ROAD_ON_DEMAND`,
`CANVAS_DARK`, `CANVAS_LIGHT`, `CANVAS_GRAY`.

  styleId: "streets-v11",
  accessToken: "<YOUR_MAPBOX_TOKEN>",
  // tilesize: 512, scaleFactor: true  // retina
});
viewer.imageryLayers.add(new ImageryLayer(mapbox));
```

### SingleTileImageryProvider

```js
import { SingleTileImageryProvider, ImageryLayer, Rectangle } from "cesium";

const logo = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
  SingleTileImageryProvider.fromUrl("/images/overlay.png", {
    rectangle: Rectangle.fromDegrees(-75.0, 28.0, -67.0, 29.75),
  }),
);
viewer.imageryLayers.add(logo);
```

> **1.140+ (#13297):** `OffscreenCanvas` is now an accepted `ImageryTypes` value,
> so you can feed a worker-rendered or dynamically-drawn `OffscreenCanvas`
> wherever an image source is expected -- useful for procedurally generated or
> live-updating overlays without round-tripping through a data URL.

## Split-Screen Comparison

```js
import { ImageryLayer, IonImageryProvider, SplitDirection } from "cesium";

// Add an overlay that only appears on the left side of the split
const nightLayer = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(3812));
nightLayer.splitDirection = SplitDirection.LEFT;
viewer.imageryLayers.add(nightLayer);

viewer.scene.splitPosition = 0.5; // 0-1 fraction of viewport width
```

`SplitDirection`: `LEFT` (-1), `NONE` (0), `RIGHT` (1).

## Cutout Rectangle

```js
import { Rectangle } from "cesium";

const cutout = Rectangle.fromDegrees(-90, 20, -70, 40);

// Cut a hole in the base layer to reveal imagery beneath
const base = viewer.imageryLayers.get(0);
base.cutoutRectangle = cutout;
```

## Color-to-Alpha

```js
import { Color } from "cesium";

const baseLayer = viewer.imageryLayers.get(0);
baseLayer.colorToAlpha = new Color(0.0, 0.016, 0.059); // dark ocean blue
baseLayer.colorToAlphaThreshold = 0.2; // tolerance (0-1)
```
