Add and register Site Scan for ArcGIS to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal

Summary

Site Scan for ArcGIS is a cloud-based drone mapping and analytics software that is part of the ArcGIS Reality suite. It enables users to collect, process, and analyze drone imagery data efficiently. With Site Scan, users can create high-quality 2D and 3D imagery products, perform measurements, and conduct advanced drone analytics such as object detection and AI applications.

Integrating Site Scan for ArcGIS with the ArcGIS Enterprise portal enhances data accessibility and collaboration by allowing drone imagery to be published directly to the Enterprise environment. This integration streamlines workflows, enabling comprehensive analysis by combining drone data with existing GIS datasets. It facilitates advanced analytics, such as overlaying imagery with spatial data and conducting temporal analysis, while improving stakeholders' collaboration through shared access to detailed visualizations and reports.
