It may help to know the graphics card and memory (both graphics and overall) in your hardware. I'm no expert on such things, but this kind of performance seems memory-oriented. ... View more

There's also some innovative work in Southeast Alaska by Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Herring Fishery assessors. They used disconnected editing to identify and mark herring spawn from aerial surveys. They also use Experience Builder for the map results.  See more about this effort at this link, and note they are looking for feedback on this new method. ... View more

It is fun to follow from Constanta to Rotterdam the Danube/Donau/Maas, just like the Missouri/Mississippi and Ohio/Tennessee/Tombigbee/Mobile river systems in Inland ENC! ... View more

First of the ArcGIS Bathymetry videos, introducing the concepts and usage of this tool. ... View more

These are bathymetric expressions, not side scan sonar images, used for identifying boat-like shapes from gridded #BAG data. Note that this type of bathymetry identification is indicative of what can be done with repeatable patterns in the high-resolution source grids, regardless of the type of object being identified. Often, the hardest part of a machine learning tool is finding a good data set with which to train the engine; in this case, the NY State data set was ideal, as so many boats were sunk in Hurricane Sandy and NOAA did a survey right after the destruction.  ...

NOAA also published this podcast interview of Coast Survey's Chief of Marine Charting, Captain Edward J (EJ) Van Den Ameele, who explains the tradition and interest in continuing to have a paper nautical chart while also preparing for future services. The improved Custom Chart tool  will enable new approaches to serving non-navigational users, too!   "EJ Van Den Ameele:  You know, I’ve always liked advancements in technology, while certainly honoring the tradition of nautical charts, so I think it’s exciting because we’re trying to do both. We’re trying to honor the purpose of nautical charts, the tradition of nautical charts, but do it in a modernized way. It really enables users to have the most up to date information, as well as to better specify exactly what their needs are and what they want from the custom chart. So I think it’s exciting to see and try to meet both of those needs and requirements." ... View more

Hi Nathaniel, It might help to be more specific about the types of questions you would like to ask about sedimentation and hypoxia, and how they relate to the use of ArcGIS Bathymetry in addition to ArcGIS Pro spatial analytic capabilities. I also recommend looking at the variety of recorded videos, many from the Ocean, Weather, and Climate Fora from past years', that you can find on Esri's Events channel with keyword search. For example, the first hit is a presentation by Heather Vollmer of APTIM of their LASAAP beta last year  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W2w6N-CeYI  Thanks, Guy ... View more

An update to this thread - If you are looking for ways to show AIS information in ArcGIS, The Living Atlas has US AIS information in a performant service for last few years here. The explanatory link below is from @KeithVanGraafeiland 's presentation at the NOAA Coastal GeoTools virtual conference.  There are several AIS information providers, including partner Spire who offer content and analytics (Pro add-in) through the ArcGIS MarketPlace. ...

Hi! Thanks for the additional context, and in addition to this great justification for continuing support for a viewer of ENC content in Pro, I also encourage folks interested in shoreline vector extraction from imagery to sign up for the upcoming May 2021 webinar:   https://www.esri.com/en-us/lg/industry/government/arcgis-automated-workflows-and-machine-learning-techniques-for-coastline-extraction  Guy ...

Hi Maryellen, Thank you for that detail about using a 'recoverable source file' in the workflow. I can see why a live service feed may not meet your requirement.  Guy ... View more
