In this blog we look at how the GPS data recorded with video data, or by standalone/phone-based trackers, can be used to generate insights into vehicle motion and to support approximate emissions analysis and mapping. As the introduction of zero emission vehicles to fleets will generally be a gradual process these insights may be of use to fleet operators looking to determine how to deploy a limited number…
As governments around the world look to accelerate their energy transition efforts with increasing investment in offshore wind (such as the recently announced schemes in the UK and the US) it is more important than ever that the tens of thousands of megawatts of electricity required to power the homes and cars of the future…
For those not familiar with Microsoft PowerBI, it is a dashboard application that allows users to create a plethora of views of tabular data. This is done through the use of Visualizations. Data inputs can range from a simple CSV file to enterprise databases. Many of these Visualizations are in the form of graphs. The usual suspects (bar, line and pie) are included. Naturally,…
Staff working within the Earth Science and Engineering programme at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have discovered a way to dedicate more time to analysis of the physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, ocean and earth, and less on data preparation. To help them do this work more efficiently, the…
A lot of video recording devices (dash cams, drones and action cameras such as GoPro) now also record a range of metadata with the video file, such as spatial information that we can use to locate the video and incorporate it into a Geographic Information System, or GIS. In this blog series we’re sharing our…
The 2021 Esri User Conference (UC) gets underway on July 12th and as in 2020 this year’s event is online-only due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Ahead of the conference each year, Esri publishes its UC Q&A – to save you a little time, here are some highlights that I think might be relevant for colleagues…
Exprodat, the London-based geospatial experts for energy and Getech Group company, continues to streamline the workflows used across the “unconventionals” petroleum sector, with the latest release of its popular Unconventionals Analyst software. For use with Esri’s powerful professional desktop GIS application, Unconventionals Analyst v2.1 for ArcGIS Pro provides a host of new tools that further…
As we have just released version 2.1 of Unconventionals Analyst for ArcGIS Pro, I’d like to highlight some of my favorite new features so you can check them out when you install the latest software… 1 – Analyze Well Relationships tool A big challenge in the industry at the moment is identifying initial well/infill well relationships to predict performance interference and recovery reduction. In response to this, we created the Analyze Wells Relationships tool which…
As we release our ArcGIS Pro 2.7 & 2.8 compatible version of Data Assistant for ArcGIS Pro, I’d like to highlight some of my favourite new features so you can check them out when you’ve installed the new release… 1 – Support for ArcGIS Pro 2.7 and 2.8 We see a lot of customers…
In order to help exploration geoscientists better visualise key 3D seismic data within GIS, we recently experimented with importing seismic data into a voxel data cube for viewing in an ArcGIS Pro 3D scene. A voxel layer represents multidimensional spatial and temporal information in a 3D volumetric visualization. For example, think of a room. Imagine the room divided up into points, each one metre apart. Every point…
