Esri CityEngine is a powerful tool for generating 3D content from the 2D GIS data you already have, but the effectiveness of the tool relies very much on the quality and depth of useful information provided by your data. For example, building footprints with heights, roof form type, and exterior wall type will create more realistic, procedurally generated structures than footprints alone. This session will introduce the procedural CGA scripting language and discuss the kinds of features and attributes on which they will rely. It will also discuss how thematic representations of your data, rather than a pure photo realistic view, can be a powerful addition to how you view your data in 3D.

Why should you care about the spatial reference? The spatial reference is a fundamental part of GIS data. Without a spatial reference, you cannot overlay two datasets properly. The spatial reference includes the coordinate system, which connects the data's coordinates to an earth model. Other parts of the spatial reference, such as the tolerance and resolution values, determine how features are stored and processed. Learn how to set appropriate values; maintain consistency in your GIS data; figure out an unknown coordinate system; pick an appropriate datum transformation; and minimize problems associated with the spatial reference.

Open MP3 VersionTop of PageSpeakers: Rex Hansen, Eric Bader, Morten Nielsen, Michael Tims
Building native apps that run across devices and on multiple platforms is a common requirement, but can be difficult considering all the technologies involved. iOS requires knowledge of Xcode, the iOS SDK, Objective-C, and Swift. Android requires Eclipse, the Android SDK and Java. Windows Desktop and Universal apps require Visual Studio, C# and their respective SDKs. You can take the HTML5JavaScript and PhoneGap route, but not all apps should be built using a hybrid approach. If you want to create a truly competitive app with a premium experience, you'll need to go native. Fortunately, some development technologies support using a single programming language and a common, shared codebase to build cross platform solutions, such as .NET\Xamarin, Qt, and Java. In this session you'll learn how to use the ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for .NET, Xamarin, Qt, or Java to build native applications across multiple platforms.

Regression analysis also allows you to predict spatial outcomes for other places or time periods. Application and use of Ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) will be demonstrated. You will learn how to build a properly specified OLS model and interpret the results and diagnostics. As part of developing a well specified model we will use Exploratory Regression to more efficiently identify relationships within data. You will also learn how GWR can help you target policies and remediation efforts more effectively.

This workshop will demonstrate a new interpolation tool, EBK Regression Prediction which allows you to make predictions using both kriging and regression methodology. Historically, kriging has been most frequently used in geology and environmental sciences where data are continuous, but this new approach extends kriging to other applications that require non-continuous, discrete predictions such as land valuation and prediction of sales revenues. Predictions made that use both kriging and regression can produce better predictions than either method individually with additional information about the variable you want to interpolate coming from explanatory variables. We will describe how the tool works and demonstrate a number of examples showing how this tool can be used to give you improved predictions.

It is often said that a picture is worth a 1000 words, but in GIS, imagery is far more than just pictures. It is any cell-based (often called raster) data that is spatially aligned. While it might be the color and intensity values of reflected light captured in an aerial photograph; it could also be the average height over 10 square meter blocks in a specific region, or average rainfall, or even a highly detailed Lidar rendering of the ocean floor. In this session we will highlight different kinds of GIS imagery and how it can be used in GIS analysis, enhanced or even processed to create visualization outputs like a shaded relief.
