Subdivides polygons into smaller equal parts now is easy in ArcGIS Pro. There is a dedicated geoprocessing tool for this task. Polygon splits can be done by setting up the number of output equal parts, or by certain area sizes. The tool also have two others very useful features. The first one is ability to control the angle of splitting, and the second is the two-splitting type, by stripes or by stacked blocks.  Very useful for cadastral related analysis or agricultural plot planning

in this video I would like to share about how to make Curved Lines of Origin - Destination Links in ArcGIS Pro. These sequences will be very useful for you who looking for a way to perform certain mapping task such as route planning, flight mapping or any similar application. Curved lines actually are easy to generate. You can use geodesic approach or tools available in QGIS or ArcGIS to do this. However, geodesic approach usually only works best for very large area (continental level). So, this workflow is dedicated for smaller area (such as country or states/provincial/prefectural level).

In the old times of ArcMap or any other GIS Software, storing the statistical classification from the symbology setting usually takes efforts of repeated query and field calculations. For example, classifying population attributes using Natural Breaks/Jenks classification method can only be done on-the-fly.  The classified values are not saved in the attribute table, so, if we want to use the classified values, we must repeat the classification. In certain cases, this will cause some difficulties when we need to share the analysis to other party.  Fortunately, ArcGIS Pro has this built-in geoprocessing tool  to handle this kind of task in very fast and easy way. The tool is called Reclassify Field, and here is how to use it.

Hi, this post is about four solutions about how to perform offline basemap creation for mobile mapping in Android or Apple IOS devices. For this first part. I will demonstrate about GeoPDF format that is widely supported in most GIS Software. I will demonstrate how to write GeoPDF in ArcGIS Desktop (ArcGIS Pro also has this functionality) and QGIS, followed by how to load the GeoPDF Map in a supported Android/IOS App. Unfortunately, when this video is made, the only app that can read GeoPDF is only Avenza PDF Maps (available in Android and IOS). The rest is no longer updated (TerraGO GeoPDF) or part of paid services (Global Mapper Mobile Pro). Utilizing GeoPDF for field mapping basemap is very effective and simple. All data in one file. They are structured and tailored according to your setting on the GIS Desktop. They also provide good loading performance as long as the file is not relatively huge. For the second part. I will demonstrate the ArcGIS Mobile Map Package (MMPK) forma...

Some of the URL endpoint you can use as starting point are here.  LANDSAT-8 SENTINEL-2 So far, this is the easiest method to obtain direct access to historical satellite imagery. There are also limitation about this service. One of them is ...

How to calculate fraction or percentage of Vegetation or Forest Canopy Cover using LIDAR-based or Photogrammetric-based Point Clouds Data using ArcGIS Desktop. But don't worry, the methods I described in the video is easily reproduced using other GIS Software such as QGIS or SAGA, as long as those software support LIDAR Point Clouds reading and they have capabilities to perform raster based spatial analysis/raster calculator.

Adding, Displaying, Manipulating, Processing and Analyzing Landsat-9 Data in ArcGIS Pro. For example, Pan Sharpening and NDVI Analysis. Due to Landsat-9 MTL Metadata is not yet supported in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 when this video is published, some of the automatic tasks that can be done easily with Landsat-8 can't be done in similar ways with Landsat-9. So we must be patient until the day is come. But on the other hands, all the raster functions implemented in ArcGIS pro should be works for this data flawlessly.

In this tutorial, I will show you a new application from ArcGIS Enterprise/Portal for ArcGIS Family. The application is called Ortho Maker. This app is designed to provide Photogrammetric UAV Photo processing inside ArcGIS  Enterprise/Portal. If you are familiar with DroneDeploy or Pix4D Clouds, this application offers similar features.  Because it is implemented inside ArcGIS Enterprise Environment, you can publish the processing results as ArcGIS API Services, either in tiled static map services or dynamic image services. Previously, ESRI has released Drone2Map as a desktop-based UAV Processing software a few years ago, and UAV photogrammetric processing capabilities also have been implemented in ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro. So Ortho Maker is the ESRI answer for Cloud-based UAV Photogrammetric processing needs.  Ortho Maker implementation needs an instance of ArcGIS Image Server (functioned as raster analysis module and raster hosting server). But for optimal performa...

Numerous Pan-sharpening Algorithm has been developed. Some of them are better in preserve the spatial details of the panchromatic band but have poor spectral information preservation of multispectral bands, and vice versa. ArcGIS has implemented some of the most well-known Pan-Sharpening algorithms into its roster of geospatial tools. Some are good, some are good only in certain aspects.  Fortunately, Pan Sharpening implementation in ArcGIS also complemented with a weighting factor. These weights value can be derived from the data-driven approach. By using these weights, we can further control the Pan-Sharpening algorithm that has poor ability to maintain spectral information like IHS to be more consistent with the multispectral bands. And this is what the video tutorial below is about.
