What is LiDAR?

Sriharsha Vankadara — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:48:04 +0000

LiDAR, acronym for Light Detection and Ranging is a remote sensing technique to capture precise elevation including any vegetation or buildings on the earth’s surface. Over from the Lidar News blog is a short video from the Department of Geosciences at Idaho State University, introducing the principle of LiDAR and its application in elevation modeling of Snake River, Swan Valley in Idaho.

ArcGIS.com

What started off as an overview of ArcGIS 10 during the BPC was picked up at the Developer Summit with demonstrations delving more into the new features and enhancements that ArcGIS 10 is going to support. ESRI has been quick to upload the Plenary demos which cover the following topics:

Hitler furious at ESRI and ArcGIS

Sriharsha Vankadara — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 09:02:40 +0000

This video has been doing rounds in the social media circles for some time now and is definitely worth the time. Watch the Fuhrer rant over the failure of ESRI and ArcGIS.

FOSSLC

Sriharsha Vankadara — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:03:12 +0000

The Free and Open Source Software Learning Center (FOSSLC), which has its roots tied to the success of OSBOOTCAMP is a non-profit organization with a vision to improve lives with open source. It provides conference information, webcasts, videos and workshops that teach skills with open source software. Besides its mission to educate people who have never heard of open source it aims to get them started with open source development, understand the business of open source and help meet people from the community.

Here are links to some really helpful resources from the website:

ESRI Videos on YouTube and Viddler

Sriharsha Vankadara — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:52:00 +0000

Among the GIS blog world, this is the fourth posting today on ESRI’s official YouTube channel.

ESRI operates a channel on YouTube under then name esritv which is a useful resource with videos on product demos, conference presentations, howto’s, process work flows and other interesting stuff.

It so happens that many of the videos uploaded on YouTube can also be found on Viddler, probably uploaded by the same professionals. Just in case you happen to have problems accessing YouTube, don’t’ panic and remember that there’s Viddler.

Sriharsha Vankadara — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:11:00 +0000

This is no new news (definitely not for users of ESRI products), but for all those who may have missed the buzz around the latest version of ArcGIS Explorer which is soon to be released during the ESRI Developer Summit ’09, here’s a quick preview of the upcoming 900 version.

Geonames Search Task in ArcGIS Explorer

Sriharsha Vankadara — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:16:00 +0000

For those of you who are not aware, ESRI publishes video tutorials on its free subscription channel at Viddler.com on its wide range of products.

Here’s one interesting video on how one can enhance the search and find capabilities of ArcGIS Explorer by adding a Geonames Search task that is available from the resource center.

The Explorer team did a good work by not just running through the process of finding places using this task, but rather had a story with an objective to find a place in Glacier National Park, Montana.

Here’s a basic and simple video tutorial on using the clip analysis tool of ArcToolbox in ArcGIS Desktop 9.2. The tutorial even works for previous versions of ArcGIS.
