My name is Grant Spaete and I am a Unmanned Aerial Systems student at Purdue University. I became enthralled with aviation at a very young age and knew that I wanted to make a career out of it. Initially my plans were to major in Professional Flight at Purdue, but I decided that being on near the fore front of UAS technology scene made more sense and would accommodate the lifestyle I want to live in the future better. I am currently a junior within the program and am eager to begin documentation of flights and experience I will have this semester and throughout the rest of my time here at school. I want to be involved within the creation, designing, usage, and implementation of UAS technologies. The future use of UAS technology within other non-related sectors is extremely interesting.

Defining More Features and Buffers

Image
 Features can also be defined measured with other forms of tools and highlighted with buffers. The pairwise buffer tool is helpful in creating zoning areas that can be visually appreciated. Below is a map that has highlighted roads of a flight area at Purdue Wildlife Area. The roads were manually configured using the draw polygon tool. That way, all roads can be accounted for with no error. The roads are still grass features, so the classification wizard querying did earlier would not be accurate, whereas the map above is. Now, I added a 20m buffer from all roads highlighted on the map. This gives you a visualization of the land that is further than 20 meters from all roads. Due, to the road grid pattern being tight, the amount of land is quite small. The buffer feature can also be used for other features. As seen below, I have put a buffer around mostly trees, but in total, all objects that exceed 10 meters in height. Another form of analysis can be found when the same buffers abo...

Object Classification within ArcGIS Pro

Image
 Classifying objects and structures can be very helpful. Whether it be vegetative features, buildings, runoff, rivers, etc. all these features can be accessible through Arc in a variety of ways. Today I will be showing a tools that aid greatly in the classification of features. To begin Esri offers a great step-by-step tutorial on how to use the Classification Wizard, which allows users to create classes of features they want to define, manually outline some of these features, and have the tool automatically define and process the rest. When using the wizard I created two classes to be defined. Those being impervious and pervious features. Above is a neighborhood downloaded through esri that has been partially manually drawn in as impervious (buildings, pavement, etc.) features and pervious (grass, trees, water, etc.) features. However, so much more can be analyzed using the wizard tool. Above is a mission I flew a few weeks back. Using the wizard I was able to classify light veget...
