Learn more Data-driven decisions Machine and Deep Learning frameworks New Machine and Deep Learning frameworks are providing an easy-to-use way to extract accurate information from data. Dipak Paudyal explains how the technology delivers insights. Learn more Disruptive innovation GIS tech trends - 2018 review and 2019 forecast In this annual review and forecast, Peter Gill looks back at 2018 - an awesome year in the geospatial industry - and gives us his highlights on the emerging technology capabilities and products to watch in 2019. Learn more Data-driven decisions Drones in agriculture - how to get started Getting the best results from drones on a farm depends on the desired outcomes and the type of sensors mounted on the drone. Before starting, it pays to find answers to the most common questions about using drones and satellite imagery in agriculture. Learn more Data-driven decisions Catching drug traffickers with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Go behind the scenes of the United States Border Patrol's innovative drug prevention strategy which leverages AI and ML to stop drug traffickers in their tracks. Learn more Data-driven decisions Flying high: the 2018 Esri Young scholar Adrian Darmawan, a Bachelor of Geospatial Science student at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, is the winner of the 2018 Esri Young Scholar award for his innovative project that uses drones to assess landslide risk. Learn more Data-driven decisions Imagery analysis driving asset maintenance Satellite imagery, deep learning and machine learning are leading to more accurate remote asset inspection and analysis, cutting costs and streamlining maintenance. Learn more Disruptive innovation GIS technology trends - 2017 review and 2018 forecast What were the key GIS trends of 2017? And what was in store for 2018? Take a look back at Gordon Sumerling's predictions and compare it with what happened over the year. Learn more Digital transformation UX design for GIS apps: creating the new Queensland Globe To help DNRM upgrade the Queensland Globe interactive map, Esri Australia's UX design team applied digital anthropology to deliver a seamless, intuitive user experience. Learn more Business analytics Gaining insights from multidimensional data The world is a huge, constantly changing system that is as unpredictable as it is beautiful. Through advanced scientific technology we can record information about our planet in near real-time. Learn more Disruptive innovation Give your maps the edge with the power of 3D GIS 3D offers new insights in data and maps providing new and engaging ways of communicating spatial information. Platforms like QLD Globe transform the way audiences interact with spatial data. Learn more Data-driven decisions Geoscience Australia releases MH370 search data Story Map The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 mapped more than 700,000 square kilometres of seafloor. Data from phase one of the search is now available to the public through an interactive Story Map. Learn more Disruptive innovation Esri's strategy and vision for 3D GIS Although our world is 3D, many plans and maps are still 2D. 3D maps improve spatial understanding and communication with both internal stakeholders and the public. Learn more Digital transformation Solidifying geospatial science as a smart career choice With GIS now seen as essential to making informed business and government decisions, the annual Esri Young Scholars Award is playing a vital role in promoting geospatial science as a career choice. Learn more Disruptive innovation SAR imagery: the smart solution for road maintenance The smart solution for road maintenance is in the sky - with SAR imagery making it possible to spot surface movement from a thousand kilometres away. Learn more Disruptive innovation Best practice tips for collecting drone imagery As more organisations introduce drones into their operations, more people are asking about collecting drone imagery in the field. It's a task that's becoming easy to do, but the technology you choose is vital to doing it right. Learn more Disruptive innovation Could satellites be the secret to detecting water leaks? Innovative water utilities are using techniques that are out-of-this-world to detect leaks in their water networks - leveraging imagery captured from satellites orbiting the earth. Learn more Data-driven decisions Satellite imagery and the search for MH370 debris When the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 was determined by authorities to have crashed into the ocean the same question was asked repeatedly: could satellites help find the crash site?
