ArcGIS Flight vs CDFW Gillnets eLog EVAL

ArcGIS Flight makes it easy to collect images to create accurate, high-resolution maps and 3D models using drones. Choose from a variety of flight modes tailored to the type of site being captured, and the app will automatically define the optimal flight path and allow you to preview it in 2D or 3D. Pilots can use Terrain Follow, which enhances imagery quality by adjusting the drone's height to follow the terrain. After completing your organization's custom preflight checklist, the app automatically conducts aircraft checks and performs the flight. Long flights are automatically split, allowing you to change your drone’s battery and resume where you left off. After completing the flight, wirelessly transfer the images to your iPad and upload them along with your Fleet Management information to Site Scan Manager for processing on the cloud. It is also possible to transfer the images captured during a flight for processing using ArcGIS Drone2Map or ArcGIS Pro using the ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro extension. Compatibility: - Requires an ArcGIS account with mobile worker or higher license or a Site Scan operator license. - Requires compatible drone, check the latest documented drone matrix for supported firmware versions: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/flight/latest/get-started/requirements.htm

The CDFW Gill Nets eLog Mobile Application is being piloted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to evaluate electronic reporting for California's commercial Gill Net fishery. This application allows participating gillnet fishermen to record required fishing activity and submit trip information electronically using a mobile device. The evaluation is intended to gather feedback from industry participants, improve workflows, and ensure the application meets the operational needs of the fleet. The application has been developed in collaboration with commercial fishermen and CDFW staff to simplify reporting while maintaining the information required for fisheries management.
