Georeferencing in ArcGIS Pro

Georeferencing is the process of adding geographic information to a raster image. This allows mapping software to place the image in its real-world location. This guide explains how to assign geographic coordinates to the raster's pixels.

Publishing Georeferenced Maps

ArcGIS Pro allows completed projects to be published online or shared with others. ArcGIS Online is a common publishing platform. While this guide explicitly states the steps needed to publish a georeferenced map, the same steps can be taken to publish other projects.

Digitizing in ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro allows raster data to be converted into vector digital data. This can be done manually or automatically, although manual digitization tends to allow for more accuracy. This is a step-by-step guide through the digitization process.

Editing in ArcGIS Pro

ArcGIS Pro enables users to edit existing vector data. The three most common editing tools are auto-complete polygon, merge and split. In this guide, you will learn how to utilize these tools for your own projects.

Using Arcscan

ArcScan allows images to be turned into vector-based feature layers through the process of vectorization. Currently, ArcMap is the only esri platform that supports Arcscan. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to start using Arcscan.

Creating a Mosaic Dataset

Mosaic datasets allow users to work with large collections of raster data. These datasets can be created in ArcGIS Pro to make data management simple. In this guide, you will learn how to create and work with mosaic datasets.
