New tutorials for ArcGIS Drone2Map 2024.1

[MarkBarker1]

With the release of ArcGIS Drone2Map 2024.1, the Drone2Map team partnered with the ArcGIS Learn team to create some tutorial lessons focused on some of the newer features and capabilities. The following are the new learn lessons:

If you prefer videos instead, then please check out the new short videos covering the use of both inspections and catalog datasets:

Hi @MarkBarker1 ,

Great tutorials and thanks for sharing these. In the tropics, we fly a lot to supervise tree mortality. Once a month we fly over a dense canopy on Barro Colorado Island. Drone2Map struggles to produce a decent mosaic for the heavy tree canopy. Where Drone2Map falls short, Metashape is a winner with their processing engine.

Can you create a tutorial to produce a mosaic with a heavy tropical tree canopy coverage? These are 2 samples of the Barro Colorado Island tree canopy coverage:

These mosaics were made with Metashape. My team is not using Drone2Map because it seems to confuse everything related to tree canopies. If you need, I can share with you all the images used to produce these mosaics.

Thanks!

Hi @MiltonSolano ,

Absolutely, a tutorial about capturing densely vegetated ideas is a great idea! I would love to see your imagery and offer what help I can to try and improve the results. Please feel free to reach out to me at mbarker@esri.com so we can setup a file share and discuss further.

Regards,
Mark
