The Tools Panel contains tools that work directly with the web service in the canvas. The tools include features that enhance the display of the imagery, analyze imagery and video through markup and measurements, and export the current view for use in presentations.
The following are the tools in the Tools Panel:
- Display tools—Apply common display settings to your imagery and change the order of imagery to gain the most value out of each pixel. These tools are only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer. The Image Display tool is available for ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layers as well. The following are the Display tools:
- Image Display
- Image Order
- Enhancements
- Comparison tools—Conduct automated pixel-based or raster analysis comparisons within imagery in the Map Panel using the following tools:
- Swipe
- Flicker
- Detect Change —This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer.
- Compute Change—This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layer.
- Analysis tools—Highlight areas of interest through markup, labeling, and measurements. The Mark Up, Count, and Measure tools are available for all service and layer types. These tools can only be used in the Map Panel when connected to an ArcGIS Video Layer or Oriented Imagery Layer. The Deep Learning tool can be used to automate the task of recording observations and extracting geographical features from your analysis layer. The NDVI tool can be used to detect relative biomass (greenness) in a raster image.
- Mark Up
- Count
- Measure
- Deep Learning—This tool is only available with an analysis layer of an ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layer.
- NDVI—This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layer.
License:
The Deep Learning tool is only available for ArcGIS Onlineand when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layer. To use this tool a Professional or Professional Plus user type and role with the Imagery Analysis privilege are required.
- Export tools—Export the current view into various file formats to use in briefings, presentations, or applications. These tools can only be used in the Map Panel when connected to an ArcGIS Video Layer or Oriented Imagery Layer. The following are the Export tools:
- Analysis Report
- Screenshot
- Imagery Clip—This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Tiled Imagery Layer.
- Attachment Report—This tool is only available when an observation layer is added to the canvas.
- Video Frame—This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Video Layer.
- Video Clip—This tool is only available when connected to the canvas with an ArcGIS Video Layer.
- Project tools—View instructions for what needs to be accomplished in an Excalibur project and use specific tools to help streamline your tasks. These tools can only be used in the Map Panel when connected to an ArcGIS Video Layer or Oriented Imagery Layer. The following are the Project tools:
- Instructions
- Collect Observations
- Edit Observations
- Chip Observations
The Collect Observations, Edit Observations, and Chip Observations tools are only available when an observation layer is added to the canvas.
