Esri Landscape Modeler

Landscape Modeler is a JavaScript web application that allows users to perform fast weighted overlay analysis. This is ideal when a user wants to test ideas about a suitability or risk analysis model at multiple scales or over a large area.

Landscape Modeler is built on top of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and ArcGIS Server image services. By default it is configured to use the ready-to-use landscape layers on ArcGIS Online, but it can be configured to use other data that is exposed as an image service published with a weighted overlay raster function.

Currently Esri Landscape Modeler is in development but is open to contributions. It should be thought of as a beta or preview.

Features

Landscape Modeler allows any user with a valid ArcGIS Online organizational account to:

Design weighted overlay models using the ready-to-use landscape layers on ArcGIS Online.
Run those models in real time at a variety of scales and extents.
Save models as ArcGIS Online web maps that can be loaded into other applications or ArcGIS for Desktop.
Load and view models that have been saved and shared by others.
Overlay the model with a feature service and see graphs of model results by feature type.

Credit

Landscape Modeler was developed by the ArcGIS Content and Professional Services divisions at Esri. Landscape Modeler was developed by a team that co-developed a Geodesign web application.

Landscape Modeler is based on work done by the Esri Application Prototypes Lab to create applications that perform fast weighted overlay analysis by leveraging ArcGIS Server image service raster functions.
