The app detects camera and sensor parameters and then intelligently applies appropriate defaults.<br \/>\nIn the field, Drone2Map for ArcGIS offers rapid imagery processing, so users can make sure they\u2019ve captured everything they need right away, avoiding costly return trips. The imagery can be used immediately in ArcGIS to provide a clear, accurate picture of any asset or area for mapping, analysis, and decision making.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6681\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6681\" style=\"width: 1015px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/files\/2016\/03\/drone1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6681\" src=\"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/files\/2016\/03\/drone1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1015\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Put your drone to work!
