Abstract

Rapid Geodata Automation with Python Multiprocessing, ArcPy & NumPy
Track: Implementation Successes
Authors: Solana Foo

Learn how to add Multiprocessing and NumPy functions to an ArcPy script to speed up geodata creation.<br /> The example will be presented in a Water Resources context, but is general enough to be cross-discipline. The task was to auto-generate best fit lines around surveyed channel cross section points.<br /> The greatest time savings observed was a decrease in processing time for large datasets from 30 mins down to 2 mins.<br />
