Hi everyone, I try to loade imagery layer from [http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart\_nl](http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart_nl) I have seen it with openlayers in [http://maps.grade.de/](http://maps.grade.de/) I want to use this imagery with cesium and I use this code to load it but I got erros such as “An error occurred in “v”: Failed to obtain image tile X: 1 Y: 0 Level: 1.” var imagery=new Cesium.WebMapServiceImageryProvider({ url: ‘[http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart\_nl](http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart_nl)’, layers: ‘vaarwegenkaart\_nl’, parameters: { TRANSPARENT: true, SERVICE: ‘WMS’, VERSION: ‘1.1.1’, REQUEST: ‘GetMap’, FORMAT: ‘image/png’, SRS: ‘EPSG:3857’, BBOX: ‘313086.0678125,6574807.4240625,626172.135625,6887893.491875’, WIDTH: ‘256’, HEIGHT: ‘256’ } }) `` How can I use this service in cesium? Regards. ---

Since you’re requesting tiles in the EPSG:3857 spatial reference system, you need to assign the tiling scheme property to: tilingScheme: new Cesium.WebMercatorTilingScheme() `` You also don’t need the Request, BBOX, or Version parameters, they’ll be added dynamically as the viewport changes. ---

Hi Denver Pierce, I have changed my code as you told but it didn’t resolve my issue. Still the same error “failed to obtain image”. however I request manually this map directly in web browser: [http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart\_nl?request=getmap&service=wms&format=image%2Fpng&layers=vaarwegenkaart\_nl&version=1.3.0&crs=EPSG%3A32631&BBOX=-82.8481,-179.603,-7.16055,179.606&width=250&height=250&styles=](http://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/vaarwegenkaart_nl?request=getmap&service=wms&format=image%2Fpng&layers=vaarwegenkaart_nl&version=1.3.0&crs=EPSG%3A32631&BBOX=-82.8481,-179.603,-7.16055,179.606&width=250&height=250&styles=) Is there something wrong in my url above and why I can’t have image like this below. As an information, this url is obtained by reading according to the getcapability request. it does not provide the same image that I see in [http://maps.grade.de/](http://maps.grade.de/) Here is what should this map looks like: [![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fTh70381Pis/Vda6BmrsguI/AAAAAAAAALE/wUGold374l8/s320/p1.png)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fTh70381Pis/Vda6BmrsguI/AAAAAAAAALE/wUGold374l8/s1600/p1.png) ---

You configuration is probably fine. Your working image link does not have a CORS header, which is the reason Cesium can’t access it. I recommend you check out the [Imagery Tutorial](http://cesiumjs.org/2013/01/04/Cesium-Imagery-Layers-Tutorial/), which has a section on dealing with CORS. Ideally you would have them enable CORS on the server, but if that’s not an option, going through a Proxy is the only option.
