hey community!

is it possible to automate polygon drawing on this georeferenced picture?

I want GIS to detect the dark black areas and surround them with a polygon.

best regards

Well, one thing you can do is use the Image Analysis tool to sharpen the image and change the contrast so that the Image Classification tool will pick up the features that you want. Then you can, of course, convert the resulting raster into polygons. Once you have the polygons, you can fine tune them with the standard feature editing tools.

Does that help?

Hi Hagen,
You may want to try Image Classification.

i managed work with the image analysis - thanks!
didnt get the results at the moment i want to but still trying on. perhaps it's neccesary to edit this difficult images in photoshop before arcgis use.
i'll write again after checking out the best solution.

best regards
