With the new version of Esri’s ArcGIS Pro software there is the capability to use stereo imagery, something of great use to those looking to digitize and use 3D vector data. To this end, I thought it would try bringing in some stereo aerial data to see how the process works within ArcGIS Pro. Vague … Continue reading Using Stereo Imagery (Digital Aerial) in ArcGIS Pro

@Esri @CityEngine What is it?
This past few weeks I've been trying to do some clever augmented reality stuff with Unity involving putting objects on the floor and ensuring it doesn't wobble when you walk around it (Yay for SLAM in mobile devices). Although in software like Unreal and Unity, you can download or buy models, what do you do … Continue reading @Esri @CityEngine What is it?

So rather than write my usual "how to" blogs I thought I'd write a little on my findings, or … Continue reading Intergeo 2017
Dealing with Vertical Datum….the Mariners Way
Before 3D GIS we were able to measure miles below the sea and miles beyond our own atmosphere to a great level of accuracy, so how did we do it? There are a few methods for working between vertical coordinate systems but the one I want to discuss is possibly the simplest, not always the … Continue reading Dealing with Vertical Datum….the Mariners Way
