Drone Data Processing

How process drone data and extract the major information like Ortophotos and DSM

What you'll learn

Acquisition Data with Drone - Planning Mission use UgCs

Processing Data : Allign Photos - Insert Markers - Manage the point cloud

Filtering Cloud Point - Classification Supervised and Unsupervised

Create Ortophoto - Extract DTM and Contours

Comparision between Drone Tecnique and Remote Sensing

Requirements

Have a PC and basic knowledge of computer science - topography

Using Internet

Description

Course is focued on the complete system and technique to acquire, plan and process data drone instead to obtain typical product like DTM - DSM - Contour and Ortophotos. The course will be divided into ten theoretical and practical lessons, which involve the use of specific software, mostly opensource. There are also intermediate tests with quiz questions and the issue of a final certificate. The training project will be structured in such a way as to be usable both to university students and to professionals who want to undertake a more specific training path that facilitates them in the working world. The Structure for Motion technique will be analyzed in detail, as well as the alignment techniques of the photos taken both in the context of terrestrial and area photogrammetry. Point cloud analysis methodologies and systems, point cloud filtering techniques; up to the reconstruction of objects in three dimensions.  The cost is extremely accessible. The classes will consist of a maximum of 12 students. We will be very happy to have positive feedback and to know that you will be autonomous in the processing of drone data. This is a basic level to which an advanced level will most likely follow, also for the analysis of thermal and infrared data, useful in precision agriculture, in avalanche prevention, in energy diagnosis of buildings, as well as in diagnostics  of photovoltaic systems.
