Like Drone2Map, OneButton generates 2D, 3D, and orthorectified images from drone data. have formed a partnership that enables Harris to sell Icaros’s One Button imaging processing software. Harris Geospatial Solutions and Icaros, Inc. Also, sales of D2M, like other drone data solutions, will be paced by the speed at which drone technology is adopted by enterprises and the data is integrated into the GIS workflow. On the downside, Drone2Map only becomes an end-to-end solution when it is used with the ArcGIS platform, making it an additional cost consideration for non-Esri users. The D2M feature set, combined with ArcGIS integration, should be appealing to current Esri users. In other words, Esri’s user base is large enough be a market in itself. More than 350,000 organizations use Esri products, but the number of users is actually much larger because many of these companies have licensed multiple copies of their software. Esri has been doing business since 1969, has 9,000 employees from 67 countries, 41 offices worldwide, and has annual sales north of $900 million dollars. ESRI so dominates the GIS industry that the name GIS and Esri are almost synonymous. If you don’t know Esri, then you don’t know geographic information systems (GIS). In the past, Esri has been rather lethargic in adopting new technology, but to their credit, they have been a forerunner in recognizing the potential of drone-generated data. Applications range from finding the optimal retail store location, to mapping pipelines, to planning public works projects.
#DRONE DEPLOY FREE ALTERNATIVE PLUS#
Esri licenses D2M as a yearly subscription for $3,500 plus a nominal data storage cost.Įsri’s ArcGIS platform provides maps and a wide variety of analytical tools to governments, business, and utilities. The photogrammetry engine in Drone2Map is Pix4D. Data processed by Drone2Map can also be rendered in Esri’s ArcGIS online web service and integrated into ArcGIS for further processing. Drone2Map (D2M) takes raw image data from drones and creates digital surface models, orthomosaics, 3D-point clouds and 3D PDFs that can be shared. In June 2016, Esri released an application called Drone2Map for ArcGIS. Features should appeal to Esri users, but will they appeal to non-Esri users?
