Imagery and remote sensing technologies, including satellite, aerial, and drone imagery, generate insights by capturing, processing, and analysing data from the Earth’s surface. This helps drive data-driven decisions that lead to better outcomes.
Turning data into insights with ArcGIS imagery and remote sensing
Step 1 - Data capture
Satellites, drones, and sensors capture visible, hyperspectral, and multispectral data for a detailed view of Earth surface.
Step 2 - Data processing
Raw imagery is enhanced with geometric corrections, calibration, and enhancement using photogrammetry and LiDAR mapping to ensure precision and actionable datasets.
Step 3 - Analysis and modeling
Processed data is analysed with GIS tools to support urban planning, disaster management, and environmental assessments, producing 2D maps, 3D models, and digital twins.
Step 4 - GIS integration
Insights are integrated into ArcGIS platform, allowing you to visualise spatial relationships, track changes, and make real-time decisions.
