Digitizing in ArcGIS Pro
I learned two basic digitizing techniques using ArcGIS Pro. I Digitized converts image data to vector digital data. In manual digitizing I traced the lines or points from the source media. I sampled vertices using the mouse to define the point, line, or polygonal features I wished to capture. I digitized and edited features from a scanned photo. GIS data are commonly entered from images because methods for creating geometrically accurate images have become relatively inexpensive over the past two decades, and we can easily adjust the display scale, zooming in or out as needed. This often reduces both interpretation and digitizing errors.
