Travel the World with ArcGIS Pro Notebooks

ExalVega1

Greetings, young GIS professionals my name is Exal Vega I graduated from California Polytechnic University Pomona, with a Bachelor’s in Geography and Geospatial Analysis, and currently, I am in the Master’s Geospatial Data Science program at Penn State University.

This post is inspired by the sample notebook, “Tour the World with Landsat Imagery and Raster Functions.” The demonstrated areas of travel are so captivating that the seven examples were enough to inspire me to find my own points of interest.

There are many places to travel using this sample notebook and using an understanding of x maximum, x minimum, y minimum, and y maximum determines the extent of the way the raster image displays. According to the IBM Integrated Analytics System, Determining Minimum and Maximum Coordinates and Measures (2021) getting the x minimum determines the x coordinate furthest to the west, x maximum is determined with the x coordinate to the east. Y minimum is determined with the y coordinate furthest to the south, and Y maximum is distinguished by the y coordinate furthest to the north.

For example, the images for the country Italy, Rome at Night, Nile River, Nile Delta, Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel Temple, and Yucatan were captured by using decimal degrees of the extent of the Arc Pro software screen. For instance, the Nile River was captured using the decimal degrees are xmax:39.87, x min:25.99, y max:13.60, y min:32.70, spatial reference:4326. For The Grand Canyon, Seattle, Hawaii Chain Islands, and Wyoming, the x max, x min, y max, and y min, were used from the ArcgGIS Rest Services Directory.

The goal for posting this blog is to invite ArcGIS Pro users to learn how to use ArcGIS Pro Python Notebooks to create their own points of interest.

It would be interesting to see more raster images of the world by different GIS users.
