+description: "CesiumJS imagery layers - ImageryProvider, ImageryLayer, ImageryLayerCollection, WMS, WMTS, Bing, OpenStreetMap, ArcGIS, Mapbox, tile discard policies. Use when adding or swapping base map layers, configuring imagery providers, layering multiple map sources, or creating split-screen imagery comparisons."

+# CesiumJS Imagery Layers
+
+> CesiumJS v1.142 -- 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`.
+
+### MapboxStyleImageryProvider
+
+```js
+import { MapboxStyleImageryProvider, ImageryLayer } from "cesium";
+
+const mapbox = new MapboxStyleImageryProvider({
+  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)
+```
+
+## Draping Imagery on 3D Tiles
+
+```js
+import { Cesium3DTileset, ImageryLayer, IonImageryProvider } from "cesium";
+
+const tileset = await Cesium3DTileset.fromUrl("/path/to/tileset.json");
+viewer.scene.primitives.add(tileset);
+
+const labelLayer = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
+  IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(2411391),
+);
+tileset.imageryLayers.add(labelLayer); // drape on tileset, not globe
+labelLayer.show = false; // toggle off
+```
+
+## Debugging Providers
+
+```js
+import { TileCoordinatesImageryProvider, GridImageryProvider, ImageryLayer, Color } from "cesium";
+
+// Show x/y/level labels on every tile
+viewer.imageryLayers.add(new ImageryLayer(
+  new TileCoordinatesImageryProvider({ color: Color.YELLOW }),
+));
+// Wireframe grid overlay
+viewer.imageryLayers.add(new ImageryLayer(new GridImageryProvider()));
+```
+
+## Tile Discard Policies
+
+| Policy | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `DiscardEmptyTileImagePolicy` | Discards zero-byte images (Bing Maps default) |
+| `DiscardMissingTileImagePolicy` | Compares pixels against a known "missing" tile |
+| `NeverTileDiscardPolicy` | Never discards (use when server always returns valid tiles) |
+
+```js
+import { NeverTileDiscardPolicy, UrlTemplateImageryProvider } from "cesium";
+
+const provider = new UrlTemplateImageryProvider({
+  url: "https://my-server/{z}/{x}/{y}.png",
+  tileDiscardPolicy: new NeverTileDiscardPolicy(),
+});
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```js
+const layer = ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(3812));
+viewer.imageryLayers.add(layer);
+
+// Provider creation failure
+layer.errorEvent.addEventListener((error) => {
+  console.error("Layer creation failed:", error);
+});
+
+// Provider resolved -- listen for per-tile errors
+layer.readyEvent.addEventListener((provider) => {
+  provider.errorEvent.addEventListener((tileError) => {
+    console.warn("Tile error:", tileError.message);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Time-Dynamic WMTS
+
+Pass `clock` and `times` (a `TimeIntervalCollection`) for time-varying layers.
+
+```js
+import { WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider, TimeIntervalCollection, JulianDate, Credit } from "cesium";
+
+const times = TimeIntervalCollection.fromIso8601({
+  iso8601: "2015-07-30/2017-06-16/P1D",
+  dataCallback: (interval) => ({ Time: JulianDate.toIso8601(interval.start) }),
+});
+const weather = new WebMapTileServiceImageryProvider({
+  url: "https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts/epsg4326/best/AMSR2_Snow_Water_Equivalent/default/{Time}/{TileMatrixSet}/{TileMatrix}/{TileRow}/{TileCol}.png",
+  layer: "AMSR2_Snow_Water_Equivalent",  style: "default",
+  tileMatrixSetID: "2km",  maximumLevel: 5,  format: "image/png",
+  clock: viewer.clock,  times: times,
+  credit: new Credit("NASA Global Imagery Browse Services for EOSDIS"),
+});
+viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(weather);
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Limit simultaneous layers** -- 2-3 is typical; each layer multiplies tile requests and GPU texture memory.
+2. **Set `hasAlphaChannel: false`** on opaque providers to reduce memory and upload time.
+3. **Use `minimumTerrainLevel` / `maximumTerrainLevel`** to skip tile fetches at irrelevant zoom levels.
+4. **Prefer `ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync`** over manual await -- avoids blank globe during provider load.
+5. **Set tight `rectangle` bounds** on regional providers to prevent out-of-extent tile requests.
+6. **Reuse provider instances** -- remove with `destroy: false` and re-add instead of recreating.
+7. **Use `NeverTileDiscardPolicy`** when tiles are always valid; pixel comparison adds overhead.
+8. **Choose NEAREST filtering** only for classified raster data; LINEAR (default) is faster.
