Training description

Photogrammetry: The process that creates an orthophoto plan or a 3D point cloud with a few centimeter accuracy from a large number of photographs has brought a revolution to the field of construction and geodesy. 3D models created using the photogrammetry process replace sketches and plans, which sometimes required a lot of time, or their implementation was very difficult or dangerous due to the inaccessibility of the objects. The procedure is also very useful for documenting disaster sites and assessing a larger area in the case of natural disasters.

If you want to take advantage of all the advantages that photogrammetry offers, you need to choose the right drone, learn how to operate or program it, choose the appropriate way of working to perform the task, use one of the many photo processing programs and, all in all, follow the applicable legislation in the field use of unmanned aircraft.

Prerequisite knowledge: Mastery of basic flight maneuvers with an unmanned aircraft in the visual field of the remote pilot. Knowledge test category A1/A3 preferred.

Method of conducting the course

The course consists of theoretical and practical work. The theoretical part is carried out in a classroom in our learning center, the practical part is carried out at the training ground, which is about a 5-minute drive from the learning center. Lunch is included in the price of the course.

After completing the course, all participants receive a certificate of training in the basics of photogrammetry with unmanned aircraft systems.

Equipment

The use of unmanned aircraft on which the practical part of the training is carried out is included in the price of the course. Trainees may use their own drones (recommended).
