How to create Online IDW(Inverse Distance Weighted) Interpolation?

Question

I have some point data which store as JSON.As follow: [["Lat":"12.12","Long":"23.23","ZValue":"123"],...].

I tried to interpolate them as contour line and displayed them on my website ? I do know how to interpolate data in ArcInfo,so I tried to publish a geoprocessing task and using ArcGIS JavaScript API to generate them but it failed to published to ArcServer.

However,I search for a long time if there exits some other solution but found nothing about how to implement this.

Thanks for any suggestion!

Answer 1

To publish your IDW raster, you have two options

Option1: This will require you to export your model builder into python code and work from there. Your steps will be

1. Add the resulting IDW raster as a layer to a map document and save it
2. Create a Service Definition Draft using the map document using arcpy.mapping.CreateMapSDDraft() method
3. Next stage your SDDraft into a service definition file using arcpy.StageService_server() method
4. Finally you need to upload the .sd file to a server. You will use arcpy.UploadServiceDefinition_server() method. For this you must create a server connection file (.ags)

Option2 You can use the model builder to create output IDW rasters then use ArcGIS Desktop to publish it. This is not fully automated but a solution if you are not comfortable writing python scripts.

Answer 2

you must create the interpolation surface then from catalog publish the .mxd contain the interpolation surface
