Scanned Imagery Stereo Demonstration?

[KrisCallaway]

Our team is trying to determine if the Imagery Analyst Addon for Pro will meet our needs. We work primarily with Scanned historical aerial imagery and are using a third party software currently for our orthos and for creating stereo models. I was hoping to find a video tutorial or demonstration of the process in Imagery Analyst in an effort to consolidate our workflow. Based on the Articles it seems like this should work for us but I wanted to be able to show others in our organization to encourage the migration. Typically we have camera calibration documentation but there are times when we don't so we would need to know if it is possible to manually set up models.

Thank you for any help!

Hi Kris - 

Check out these 2 links to find resources on using the ortho mapping capabilities in ArcGIS Pro, and using the stereo capabilities..

Thanks Vinay,

Second link looks like something I can work with! Would be great if there were a video of the process.

Hi Kris.  

One of Vinay's hyperlinks was redirected - I wanted to be sure you found this 

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/imagery/workflows/resources/using-stereo-imagery.htm 

Note that for creation of orthos and DEM extraction, ArcGIS Pro provides a complete workflow from interior orientation through product creation.  For this, you need only ArcGIS Pro Advanced license, not the Image Analyst extension - it's referred to as the "Ortho Mapping" capability.  But this does not include stereo viewing, so if you want full stereo capabilities then you are correct that you need Image Analyst.

Also note that the camera model is beneficial, for improved accuracy, but the camera model is not absolutely required.  

Let us know if you need more assistance.
