Intro This project demonstrates how an existing deep learning model can be refined to perform better on local data. It walks through how transfer learning allows a pretrained model to adapt to new imagery and conditions, using ArcGIS Pro as a complete workspace for deep learning. Preparing the Project The lab begins with the Seattle_Building_Detection project, which contains NAIP aerial

Data quality is not a feature you turn on. It’s a discipline you build into every edit, every rule, and every record. Introduction For this tutorial, you help the City of White Rock improve the quality of its streetlight inspection data in ArcGIS Pro. Each pole has four inspection tests: hammer, pole, wiring, and panel. Each test is scored from

Every PFX is a confession that trust must be built correctly, and every renewal is a reminder that shortcuts will always cost you twice. When our SSL certificate expired this month, I found myself performing the same ritual every administrator (ArcGIS, systems, network, application – yes, that’s me too)
Look, I’m not here to sell you anything. I’m not sponsored. I don’t get a commission. In fact, if Esri ever sent me a free sticker, I’d frame it out of shock. But here’s the deal: we use Esri. Not because it’s cheap. Not because it’s perfect. But because when you’re running GIS for a public utility, local government, or
From the IT Administrator, GIS Staff, Network Engineer, Procurement Officer, and Whoever Else Isn’t Around That Day Let’s stop pretending this is a team sport. It’s not. In small utilities—and especially in local government—“IT Department” is often a fiction. It’s a polite way of saying one person who knows how to reboot things. That’s me. I’m the sysadmin, the GIS
