Market Overview
Most disruptive geospatial technology since GPS
1. 20% annual growth Internationally
next 5 years (Forbes, March 2015)
2. 30% in APAC alone
3. Massive Venture Capital tops $100
Million in 2014 (Forbes, Feb/15)
4. Applies where traditional aerial and
satellite imaging never made
economic sense
5. Extensive overlap with Esri’s

Drones as GIS Productivity Tools
Supporting forest management
1. Capture small extents of
forests to support
operational planning
2. Analyze collected data and
turn it into actionable
information
3. Monitor the progress of
operational activities
Drones as GIS Productivity Tools
Benefits of drones in forestry
1. Faster and cheaper compared to
using aircraft and helicopters
2. Requires fewer people in the field
than “boots on the ground”
3. Increased accuracy over field
surveys
4. Fly when, where, and how you want
5. Shorter turnaround for processing
6. Repeatable
A Variety of Choices

Implementation Strategy
Follows the typical pattern for any other type of imagery solution
CTTasking
(Flight Planning)
PCollection Processing
E DExploitation Dissemination
Primary Focus Area
Potential Complimentary Solution
Current solution is focused on the processing of UAS imagery with a
geospatial component and limited efforts on Tasking and Collection.
Other Esri initiatives for flight planning, navigation, package delivery and
other or non-geospatial applications are being considered.

Challenges in Forestry
• Field of View of the camera
• Flying height
Challenges in Forestry : Solutions
• Smaller Field of View
• Fly higher, better resolution cameras
Challenges in Forestry : Solutions
• Increase image overlap
• Mission planning software that allows
you to control the flight path
• Mapping
• 80% forward
• 60% Sideways
• Forestry
• 85-90% forward
• 70-80% sideways

Forward
Overlap
• Ground Control
- Ties the imagery to the ground
- Allows accurate spatial calculations
• How Many
- Minimum of 4 evenly spaced through
the imagery
- Additional GCP to check the accuracy
of the imagery
Very Important : GCP
