JobSite Status

This application allows users to dynamically inspect the status of a job site over various construction phases and times using orthorectified images, integrated meshes, and building scene layers.

Deployment

This application is built as a static web page. Download and copy the folder and code to a web server.

Configuration

Configure the Group, Web Map, and Web Scene in the /config/application.json file.

• group: the id of a publicly shared group
• webmap: item id of the Web Map used in the 2D view
• webscene: item id of the Web Scene used in the 3D view

Note: OAuth has not been implemented in this application. The Group, Web Map, Web Scene, and all content must be shared publicly.

How to configure your own content for this demo application

• Create a new public Group in ArcGIS.com.
• Share content as layer items to the Group.
  • Orthomosaic as Tiled Layer
    • Displayed in 2D view
  • Integrated Mesh as Scene Layer
    • Displayed in 3D view
  • Building Layer as Scene Layer (optional, one per project/job site)
    • Displayed in 3D view

Item Tags

Critical to the process is providing some standardized details about each flight to the app. We currently use the following information: collection date, drone brand, flight type/mode, view type (based on camera gimbal angle). We don’t want users to have to change the title, snippet, or description of their items to provide this info, so using a special custom tag for the items is the simplest approach.

• Building Tag (static)

  • jobsite.building

• Ortho and Mesh Tag Template

  • jobsite.{DATE}.{DRONE}.{FLIGHT}.{VIEW}
    • {DATE} = YYYYMMDD
    • {DRONE} = no spaces or special characters
    • {FLIGHT} = no spaces or special characters
    • {VIEW} = no spaces or special characters

Example Ortho and Mesh Tags

• jobsite.20191203.Phantom.Orbit.Oblique
• jobsite.20190730.Matrice.Survey.Nadir

Note: these are not separate tags; we’ll have one tag per item to hold the 4 pieces of information.
