Learn QGIS & ArcGISPro (GIS Part 2) - Achdut Global Training (Survey Sphere)

#QGIS #ArcGISPro #GIS #Surveying #ArcMap #AchdutGlobalTraining #Geospatial #Mapping This video is a continuation of our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) series, diving deeper into the seamless integration of hardware, software, data, processes, and workflows. We kick off with a quick recap of ArcMap functionalities, including symbology, labeling, and layout, before moving on to essential operations in QGIS and ArcGIS Pro. Raster to Vector Conversion & Georeferencing for Precision Mapping. Learn a crucial GIS skill as we provide a detailed explanation of converting raster data into vector data. We'll show you how to utilize Google imagery to map the University of Lagos sports complex, discussing how to select control points and georeference images to ensure pinpoint accuracy in the conversion process. The session also covers creating file geodatabases and feature classes in QGIS, highlighting the digitization process for representing various map features based on your project goals. We emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate reference systems and adding attributes to shapefiles. Digitizing Geographic Data & Crafting Effective Layouts. We'll guide you through digitizing geographic data in QGIS, offering practical advice on toggling editing modes and ensuring accuracy in feature representation. Plus, we'll cover layout settings for effective presentations in both QGIS and ArcMap. We then introduce you to ArcGIS Pro, detailing its requirements and powerful features, including advanced project management tools and data analysis capabilities. GIS in Action: Addressing a Malaria Outbreak & Exploring Tools. The training concludes with a compelling look at a real-world application: a strategic plan for addressing a malaria outbreak in the fictional Azu community. We demonstrate how to utilize satellite imagery and buffering tools to identify affected households, stressing that ground truthing is essential for verifying data accuracy. We also showcase the aesthetic advantages of ArcGIS Pro over ArcMap and encourage you to explore the diverse range of GIS tools available to you. This session is packed with practical insights and demonstrations to elevate your GIS expertise!
