Evaluating Positional Accuracy Using ArcGIS Data Reviewer – Free Training Seminar

By Shree Rajagopalan

Every day, you make decisions based on the assumption that your GIS data is complete and accurate. The positional accuracy of this data is an important aspect in determining its fitness for use. The Data Reviewer team is pleased to announce the release of a new FREE training seminar that highlights how to identify spatial data that does not meet your requirements for positional accuracy.

This 45-minute seminar, Evaluating Positional Accuracy Using ArcGIS Data Reviewer, discusses common data alignment problems, identifies national and industry standards related to reporting positional accuracy, and highlights use of the ArcGIS Data Reviewer Positional Accuracy Assessment Tool (PAAT) to calculate and report positional accuracy.

After viewing the seminar you will be able to describe positional accuracy concepts and the capabilities of the Positional Accuracy Assessment Tool. You will also gain an understanding of how to perform a positional accuracy assessment and interpret accuracy results.

Hi Mark. Will this awesome new feature be made available in scenes or usable in scenes as well in the future?

Hi Max,

This is Jasmine and I am the Product Manager of Scene Viewer. Could you help share your use case to jdu@esri.com? It would be great to learn a little bit more of your workflows to help us prioritize. Thanks!

Best,
Jasmine

Hi! When we work in ArcGis Urban we sometimes want to add illustrative maps and draw sketches after. Right now we have to go through arcgis pro but we dont need the accuracy. This method seems much simpler and faster.

Hi Mark! Every time I try to add a media layer, I receive this error: “This file type is not supported.” This occurs with both JPG and PNG images in MapViewer. I’ve tried both Firefox and Chrome. Any suggestions?

Does this create a separate hosted layer or is the information only available in the map that you add it to?

Will Map Viewer support GIF image and image from URL to create a media layer?

Hi Mark, I cannot manually enter the coordinates of the corner points on my image. Has that feature been removed or am I missing something?
