Course description

Keen to learn how to generate various aerial map formats using unmanned aircraft (UA)?

The advancement of UA technology brings about more effective and productive means to generate two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and orthographic maps at one’s fingertips. Through this course, you will get to explore photogrammetry workflow which includes pre-processing, accuracy assessment, and post-processing using Pix4DMapper, a professional mapping software. You will also learn to plan and execute autonomous flight missions to collect aerial images for photogrammetry processing.

The course includes live photogrammetry flight exercises, which aims to provide you with a positive and empowering learning experience. Upon completion of the course, participants will be well-equipped with the necessary knowledge and confidence to apply the concepts learnt in their respective fields.

Target audiences

  • Professionals in Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing, Surveyors, Agricultural, Architectural and Civil Engineering sectors who are keen to use UA technology to generate various map formats with photogrammetry

  • UA enthusiast or traditional photogrammetry users who are keen to perform photogrammetry using UA technology
