INTEGRATING DRONE FLIGHT ORTHO INTO AGOL BASEMAPS

• Creating Custom Basemaps in ArcGIS Online only takes a few steps

Google / Bing / ESRI default basemap

New drone basemap sits under labels and over default basemap

INTEGRATING DRONE FLIGHT ORTHO INTO AGOL BASEMAPS

MAKE DRONE IMAGERY PART OF YOUR AGOL BASEMAPS

CASE STUDY – Wildlife Ecology Field WorkProject Objectives:

• Update manual workflow of observing and counting mating Terrapin (turtles)• Determine appropriate drone mission planning• Determine appropriate drone processing• Develop methodology and workflow for counting • Develop supervised classification for counting• Develop reporting mechanism• Verify drone workflow more effective & efficient than observation from shore
