Lab 6 Georeferencing, Editing, & 3D

 For this lab we worked with Georeferencing raster data and polygon data in order to make them line up have a lower error. It involved using the georeferencing tools to match the corners of unique features and updating them with control points so that the Root Mean Squared error was low enough to show that the accuracy of the overall image was high. In addition we worded with editing features and adding new ones to existing layers as well as creating hyperlinks to images. I learned how to use an actual design and have it line up with the LiDAR data. I also learned to link images to data and have it accessible for others. Below are the final products of my work.

 

Lab 5 Add XY Data Points and Geocoding

 In this lab we learned how to add Latitude and Longitude points other information into ArcGIS Pro from excel documents and manipulate that data for use. One such example of this is when we took  Latitudes and Longitudes and turned them into X and Y coordinates that could be used to display the location on a map in ArcGIS once the proper coordinate system was set. In the second section of the lab we created an address locator and used it to mark locations from addresses we acquired from a census of schools.

Lab 4 Vector Analysis

 For this map we worked with a variety of new tools to manipulate data and perform more in depth analysis. For example we were tasked with finding the most suitable location for camping sites in DeSoto National Forest  based on certain criteria like proximity to roads and not in conservation areas. We used a variety of geoprocessing tools to and learn about how several can produce the same output such the union and intersect tools. In addition we work with the data of layers used the data to categorize and separate or join them to make determinations.
