Develop the skills needed to perform small drone-based data collection for creating digital 3D mapping outputs. Learners will use drone flight plans to create maps and engineer photos to create sub-centimetre accurate digital maps. Topics covered in the program include a review of photogrammetry, site selection, the Canadian drone regulatory process, mission planning, structure-from-motion (SfM) data processing, RTK ground control survey, accuracy assessment, and spatial analysis of acquired datasets.
