GSS 827 (01) - Applied Drone Remote Sensing

Within this course, students will learn concepts and applied methods of Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV) drone operations for remote sensing across multiple disciplines. Concepts to be covered include the types, costs, and uses of various UAVs and UAV sensor systems for scientific remote sensing. Learned skills will include flight operations, aerial data collection, image registration, data processing, image classification, data analysis, and visualization. Students will utilize class-provided, hands-on UAVs and software to complete daily exercises and labs. Final project reports will be turned in on the last day of class.
