Is it possible to create my own deep learning algorithm and bring it back to ArcGIS pro?

Is it possible?

We are planning to write our own algorithm and bring it back to ArcGIS.

But we are the first time using the software and don't know where to start.

Please any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

At what stage in the process do you intend to bring "it back to ArcGIS" ?

[YidongZhu]

We would like to create our own algorithm which maybe has higher accuracy in python and plan to import it to ArcGIS and use it. Currently, just want to make sure ArcGIS has such an option that can let us do it.

Hi @YidongZhu, it sounds like your are just looking to find out what's possible with ArcGIS. It would certainly be possible to do what you describe with arcpy/argis API for Python with custom workflows or even algorithms you write (see deep-learning-essentials below). Otherwise, there are already built-in machine learning/AI tools you can use as is.

Take a look at these resources for more info:
