Frontiers of Imagery and AI in ArcGIS
Imagery and geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) are redefining how organizations analyse, visualize, and act on geographic information. By integrating advanced image processing with AI-driven insights, remote sensing now enables the extraction of actionable intelligence from multispectral and hyperspectral data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), lidar, 3D, video, unstructured text, and time-series datasets. ArcGIS brings these capabilities together, allowing users to move seamlessly from foundational imagery workflows to powerful image analysis powered by GeoAI.
ArcGIS is also at the forefront of the AI revolution in GIS, going beyond GeoAI to introduce AI Assistants across the platform. These assistants help users build queries in natural language, write Arcade expressions, design workflows, and automate analysis tasks with ease. Whether working in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, or field and survey apps, AI Assistants accelerate productivity by guiding users, suggesting best practices, and lowering the barrier to advanced geospatial analysis. Combined with GeoAI-powered image analysis, these AI-driven experiences empower professionals to transform complex geospatial problems into actionable insights faster than ever before.
In GIS applications, ArcGIS Pro with the Image Analyst extension transforms the desktop into a powerful workstation for imagery exploitation—supporting stereo, motion, video, and SAR data, as well as advanced image analysis techniques. At the enterprise level, ArcGIS supports end-to-end imagery management, advanced analysis, and reality mapping workflows, while ArcGIS Excalibur integrates web-based inspection, video analytics, and dynamic reporting. Complementing these solutions, ENVI and SARscape provide advanced spectral and radar analysis, and GSF (Geospatial Services Framework) enables distributed image analytics at scale, ensuring seamless integration across large organizations.
Join us at the Imagery Summit - Frontiers of Imagery and AI in ArcGIS on September 4, 2025, during the Esri India User Conference, to explore how imagery and AI across ArcGIS can enhance your projects from planning through execution. Learn about cutting-edge applications that combine ArcGIS with GeoAI & new AI-powered assistants, ENVI, SARscape, and GSF to deliver transformative outcomes across industries.
Attendees will also receive a complimentary invitation to the Esri India UC Plenary, where leaders from government, defence, public safety, academia, and environmental sustainability will share how GIS is driving innovation nationwide.
