Coconuts and coconut products are an important commodity in the Tongan economy. Plantations, such as the one in the town of Kolovai, have thousands of trees. Inventorying each of these trees by hand would require lots of time and manpower. Alternatively, tree health and location can be surveyed using remote sensing and deep learning. In this lesson, you'll use the Deep Learning tools in ArcGIS Pro to create training samples and run a deep learning model to identify the trees on the plantation. Then, you'll estimate tree health using a Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) calculation to determine which trees may need inspection or maintenance.

To detect palm trees and calculate vegetation health, you only need ArcGIS Pro with the Image Analyst extension. To publish the palm tree health data as a feature service, you need ArcGIS Online and the Spatial Analyst extension.

In this lesson you will build skills in these areas:

• Creating training schema
• Digitizing training samples
• Using deep learning tools in ArcGIS Pro
• Calculating VARI
• Extracting data to points

This seminar is an applied study of deep learning methods for extracting information from geospatial data, such as aerial imagery, multispectral imagery, digital terrain data, and other digital cartographic representations. We first provide an introduction and conceptualization of artificial neural networks (ANNs). Next, we explore appropriate loss and assessment metrics for different use cases followed by the tensor data model, which is central to applying deep learning methods. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are then conceptualized with scene classification use cases. Lastly, we explore semantic segmentation, object detection, and instance segmentation. The primary focus of this course is semantic segmenation for pixel-level classification. The associated GitHub repo provides a series of applied examples. We hope to continue to add examples as methods and technologies further develop. These examples make use of a vareity of datasets (e.g., SAT-6, topoDL, Inria, LandCover.ai, vfillDL, and wvlcDL). Please see the repo for links to the data and associated papers. All examples have associated videos that walk through the process, which are also linked to the repo. A variety of deep learning architectures are explored including UNet, UNet++, DeepLabv3+, and Mask R-CNN. Currenlty, two examples use ArcGIS Pro and require no coding. The remaining five examples require coding and make use of PyTorch, Python, and R within the RStudio IDE. It is assumed that you have prior knowledge of coding in the Python and R enviroinments. If you do not have experience coding, please take a look at our Open-Source GIScience and Open-Source Spatial Analytics (R) courses, which explore coding in Python and R, respectively. After completing this seminar you will be able to: explain how ANNs work including weights, bias, activation, and optimization. describe and explain different loss and assessment metrics and determine appropriate use cases. use the tensor data model to represent data as input for deep learning. explain how CNNs work including convolutional operations/layers, kernel size, stride, padding, max pooling, activation, and batch normalization. use PyTorch, Python, and R to prepare data, produce and assess scene classification models, and infer to new data. explain common semantic segmentation architectures and how these methods allow for pixel-level classification and how they are different from traditional CNNs. use PyTorch, Python, and R (or ArcGIS Pro) to prepare data, produce and assess semantic segmentation models, and infer to new data.

Enroll in this plan to get familiar with the user interface, apply commonly used tools, and master the basics of mapping and analyzing data using ArcGIS Pro.Goals Install ArcGIS Pro and efficiently locate tools, options, and user interface elements. Add data to a map, symbolize map features to represent type, categories, or quantities; and optimize map display at various scales. Create a file geodatabase to organize and accurately maintain GIS data over time. Complete common mapping, editing, and analysis workflows.

ArcGIS has many analysis and geoprocessing tools that can help you solve real-world problems with your data. In some cases, you are able to run individual tools to complete an analysis. But sometimes you may require a more comprehensive way to create, share, and document your analysis workflow.In these situations, you can use a built-in application called ModelBuilder to create a workflow that you can reuse, modify, save, and share with others.In this course, you will learn the basics of working with ModelBuilder and creating models. Models contain many different elements, many of which you will learn about. You will also learn how to work with models that others create and share with you. Sharing models is one of the major advantages of working with ModelBuilder and models in general. You will learn how to prepare a model for sharing by setting various model parameters.After completing this course, you will be able to:Identify model elements and states.Describe a prebuilt model's processes and outputs.Create and document models for site selection and network analysis.Define model parameters and prepare a model for sharing.

GIS project files and imagery data required to complete the Introduction to Planetary Image Analysis and Geologic Mapping in ArcGIS Pro tutorial. These data cover the area in and around Jezero crater, Mars.

Land cover describes the surface of the earth. Land-cover maps are useful in urban planning, resource management, change detection, agriculture, and a variety of other applications in which information related to the earth's surface is required. Land-cover classification is a complex exercise and is difficult to capture using traditional means. Deep learning models are highly capable of learning these complex semantics and can produce superior results.There are a few public datasets for land cover, but the spatial and temporal coverage of these public datasets may not always meet the user’s requirements. It is also difficult to create datasets for a specific time, as it requires expertise and time. Use this deep learning model to automate the manual process and reduce the required time and effort significantly.Using the modelFollow the guide to use the model.

Before using this model, ensure that the supported deep learning frameworks libraries are installed. For more details, check Deep Learning Libraries Installer for ArcGIS.Note: Deep learning is computationally intensive, and a powerful GPU is recommended to process large datasets.The model is trained with classified LiDAR that follows the The model was trained using a training dataset with the full set of points. Therefore, it is important to make the full set of points available to the neural network while predicting - allowing it to better discriminate points of 'class of interest' versus background points. It is recommended to use 'selective/target classification' and 'class preservation' functionalities during prediction to have better control over the classification and scenarios with false positives.The model was trained on airborne lidar datasets and is expected to perform best with similar datasets. Classification of terrestrial point cloud datasets may work but has not been validated. For such cases, this pre-trained model may be fine-tuned to save on cost, time, and compute resources while improving accuracy. Another example where fine-tuning this model can be useful is when the object of interest is tram wires, railway wires, etc. which are geometrically similar to electricity wires. When fine-tuning this model, the target training data characteristics such as class structure, maximum number of points per block and extra attributes should match those of the data originally used for training this model (see Training data section below).OutputThe model will classify the point cloud into the following classes with their meaning as defined by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) described below: 0 Background 6 BuildingApplicable geographiesThe model is expected to work well in the New Zealand.
