Vehicle Motion and Emissions Mapping

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…

Visualising Data in ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI

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,…

KAUST Improves Workflows with Data Assistant

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…

In response to this, we created the Analyze Wells Relationships tool which…

Seismic Data as Voxel Layer

Turning Seismic Data into a Voxel Layer in ArcGIS Pro

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…
