Happy new year! Our development team has been hard at work, and we have just released the newest version of ArcGIS Drone2Map. This blog post provides a sampling of just some of the most important enhancements and additions in the newest version.

True Orthos Available with Standard or Advanced license<\/h3>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Orthomosaics are now called true orthos for RGB datasets. True orthos are now available when using either the Standard or Advanced license\u2014previously not accessible using the Standard license. True orthos provide a true vertical view of everything within your project area, meaning that it shows everything in the proper horizontal position\u2014in particular, any aboveground objects such as building rooftops.<\/p>\n

An example of a true ortho is shown directly below, in the lower of the two images. The top image shows an area from an orthomosaic created by traditional methods, resulting in horizontal layover of the building, and making it appear to lean away from the camera, with building facades visible. The red lines show the actual location for the building footprint\u2014and in the bottom image you can see the excellent alignment between the building footprint polygon and the image after processing, creating a true ortho (building facades are no longer shown).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1841992,"id":1841992,"title":"True ortho","filename":"True-ortho.png","filesize":988217,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/drone2map\/imagery\/whats-new-in-arcgis-drone2map-february-2023\/true-ortho","alt":"","author":"9612","description":"","caption":"","name":"true-ortho","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1835972,"date":"2023-02-16 18:30:20","modified":"2023-02-16 18:30:20","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":610,"height":802,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","medium-width":199,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","medium_large-width":610,"medium_large-height":802,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","large-width":610,"large-height":802,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","1536x1536-width":610,"1536x1536-height":802,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","2048x2048-width":610,"2048x2048-height":802,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho-354x465.png","card_image-width":354,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/True-ortho.png","wide_image-width":610,"wide_image-height":802}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
