Imagery and Remote Sensing

Integrated with GIS

A geospatial system for imagery-driven insights, deep understanding, and decisive action

Find the right solution

Bring geospatial technologies together

Imagery is at the forefront of an information revolution

In business, government, science, and research, global imagery powers visibility into operations and opportunities. Now, drones, crewed aircraft, and satellites capture more imagery than ever, creating a near real-time picture of our entire planet. With imagery and GIS combined in a geospatial technology system, you can unpack more information from every pixel—and transform static images into dynamic digital representations of our world.

A comprehensive system for imagery

Perform every imagery and remote sensing workflow in one software environment, from planning drone flights to training deep learning models.

More ways to use your remotely sensed data

Access powerful data management, mapping, and analysis tools backed by ArcGIS, the leading location intelligence software worldwide.

A geographic approach to data integration

Use GIS to seamlessly combine imagery with other geospatial data—and ultimately create richer information products that drive smarter decisions.

CAPABILITY

Management

Make imagery accessible across your organisation with tools for hosting, managing, and streaming imagery for use in products and services. ArcGIS includes scalable image management options that integrate with Esri software for performing analyses, creating maps, and sharing data organisation-wide.

CAPABILITY

Reality Mapping

Rapidly create highly accurate imagery products in 2D and 3D. ArcGIS includes reality capture and photogrammetry tools for generating feature-rich maps, models, and orthomosaics from all types of imagery and raster data, plus tailored software for drone mapping integrated with fleet management and flight planning.

CAPABILITY

Analysis and AI

Apply the ArcGIS system's powerful analysis to imagery, including change detection, multidimensional, and video analyses. And combine image analysis with AI—use pretrained or custom models to analyse large volumes of imagery faster, automate shape and pattern recognition, and extract insights at scale.

CAPABILITY

Visualisation

Look beyond images and their immediate data outputs. Give anyone—decision-makers, customers, and the public—the power to interpret imagery and take informed action. In ArcGIS, you can easily create and share interactive applications, impactful reports, and visual stories that include imagery and remote sensing data.
