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…
Read detailsAs 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…
Read detailsFor 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,…
Read detailsA 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…
Read detailsThe 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…

Read detailsIn 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…

Read detailsA lot of video recording devices (dash cams, drones and action cameras such as GoPro) now also record a range of metadata along 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 share an innovation project that looks at using video data captured by a variety of devices within the ArcGIS platform. In this first blog post we will look at videos from a dash cam device. We will first look at…
