ArcGIS Excalibur is now available in beta with ArcGIS Online and provides focused experiences for performing visualization, analysis, and content creation from imagery and video derived sources.
With this release of ArcGIS Excalibur, users can look forward to a growing collection of rich, focused analysis tools in a streamlined user experience. Combining client-side and cloud-powered analytical services in a single application allows users to more quickly gather insights, solve problems and gain value from the ArcGIS system. Users can now add deep learning models to an Excalibur project that can be used to automate object detection and pixel classification workflows. The ability to clip a subset of imagery has also been added using the Imagery Clip tool.
The new Chip Observations tool allows users to create image chips around observations in both an individual and batch experience to easily visualize the part of the image that the observation was collected. These chips can easily be used in downstream reporting using the Attachment Report tool.
When connected to a video layer as the primary analysis layer, a new Video Clip tool is introduced that will allow users to clip a portion of their video. Additionally, when using the Video Frame tool, any frames that are added to the map can be saved as a new Media Layer item.
