Click the image above. ESRI created this tutorial video to teach students how to add point data to a map. The tutorial follows an example to illustrate the creation of a feature class, adding metadata, and adding point data to a feature class. The full written tutorial and access to data is available from ESRI HERE. Some of these steps were used to add Stirling fieldwork point data (collected with the GNSS/RTK) to our ArcGIS Pro project.
You may also be interested in a collection of demos created by ESRI covering many basic to advanced GIS tasks. You can find these demos HERE.
Click the image above. ESRI created this Drone2Map Basics Demo to introduce this software to Australian educators. It gives a high-level overview of the capabilities of Drone2Map. Pertinent content begins at timestamp 1:58. Most of the steps described in this video were followed to create the orthomosaic for the University of Stirling fieldwork site.
Click the image above. In this demonstration, we are introduced to an application called MyTree created by the US Forest Service & Davey Tree Co. to deliver basic tree benefits estimation. MyTree is an introductory-level tool that users can easily navigate. It provides very general tree benefits estimates and is a good starting place for a single (or several) tree project. MyTree is available as a Web App and as a native Android app on Google Play. For users interested in estimating tree benefits with a higher level of accuracy and for larger inventories, you are encouraged to explore i-Tree Eco, considered to be i-Tree's flagship tree benefits modelling tool.
Click the image above. In this ESRI instructional video, the Instant App Builder is introduced as a starting place for creating custom web apps. This tool does not require any coding experience and has easy-to-navigate templates that assist the user in designing the layout and functionality of a web app tool that best supports the data they wish to showcase. ESRI's Instant Web App builder was used to create our final Stirling Tree Map project that integrates drone imagery, field collected data, and tree benefits estimates. For students looking for a more detailed overview of Instant App Builder capabilities, HERE is a video worth reviewing.
