Thanks for putting this class on again. Will there be a training class for Drone2Map and how to utilize that imagery into 3-D structure modeling? Also, since we are in the midst of the damaging fires here in Santa Rosa, in there any imagery data available on ArcOnline for damage assessment? My local fire district is trying to determine the actual # of lost structures within the district and its impact on the district's immediate future. Thanks.
I haven't seen imagery for Santa Rosa yet... I'd reach out to the county and see where they're at. In future offerings we'll look more in depth at how to work with drone imagery in ArcGIS Pro and the rest of the platform. There's a bunch of stuff in development that's not quite ready to be highlighted.
Hi Kevin!
I will do that! I hope the fires haven't severely impacted you and your family. I have been working with some drone imagery and learning how to utilize it for emergency and other application such as damage assessment. I have a bit more motivation now with these recent events! 🙂
Hi Gary, here is a web app that CalFire put together of structures damaged in the fires for Sonoma County:
Hope this helps.
