Drones are an increasingly common way to capture high-resolution imagery of local areas. You'll use Drone2Map for ArcGIS to convert raw drone imagery into 3D GIS data. In particular, you'll create a 3D representation of an office building development in Germany. Then, you'll publish your data and share it with the building's stakeholders.
