Intro to GIS – Week 13 – Georeferencing, Editor Tools, and 3D Scenes

GIS 4043 Week13 Lab: Georeferencing, Editor Tools, and 3D Scenes

This assignment involved the georeferencing of two raster image files through the addition of control points for common locations found in existing layers of building and roads containing spatial information.  In addition, the Editor Tool was used to create a building and street features on the layers based on the raster image files.  The Multiple Ring Buffer Tool was also introduced and used to create two buffers simultaneously and an image file of an eagle’s nest was hyperlinked.  Finally a 3D depiction of buildings and roads was completed in ArcScene and exported to JPG for completion of the map layout in ArcGIS.

The maps below depict the conservation easements at the University of West Florida for an eagle’s nest, an inset map of the UWF campus, and the 3D version of the latter.
