Major upgrade ESRI’s “what’s new” – 177 pages!
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/pdf/whats_new_in_arcgis_10.pdf
1.) Direct support for PDS and ISIS2,3 support and current limitations2.) New editing capabilities (interface changes)3.) New mosaic raster type (virtual mosaics)4.) New virtual image processing chainable functions (called Image Analyst).5.) Hardware acceleration and new basemap layers (local cache)6.) A few new toolbox helper functions and tips for background processing.7.) Changes to 3D and Spatial Analyst (raster environment)8.) New add-in environment9.) if time: New temporal tools10.) slide: new location for planetary radii definitions11.) Python fully integrated
PDS, ISIS2, ISIS3 support The good
• Attached, detached, tiled or raw• Map projections (most).• 8, 16, 32 bit• Multiple bands
The bad• Only one NoData value. Means no ISIS saturation value
support• Needs statistics to be build to show 16 and 32bit ranges• A couple GDAL bug fixes are not available (e.g. new
continuation flag in ISIS3 label).
Still recommend to convert to 8bit using GDAL
Editing The Editor toolbar has been redesigned. Feature templates (more like Illustrator editing). New snapping environment – on by default. Start editing by right-clicking a layer. The Attributes and other editing windows have been
redesigned. Selecting features and editing vertices is easier - select,
add, and remove multiple vertices by drawing a box.
USGS Crater Helper Tools (upgraded) Facilitates feature mapping (craters, linear,
closed) Still testing but available (linked below).
