Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The main goal of the course is to reach advanced knowledge about (spatial)data collection and processing using Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV). Student gain following skills:
- knowledge of Czech and european law in UAV operation,
- selection of suitable UAV type and sensor depending on various projects,
- flight campaign planning,
- flight realization,
- data pre-processing,
- processing of RGB images in terms of 3d products acquisition (point clouds, digital terrain model),
- point clouds classification and post-processing,
- processing of thermal and multispectral images,
- processing of hyperspectral data,
- processing of LiDAR data colledted with UAV.
