Summary
This course aims to deliver theoretical and hands-on knowledge to acquire, process and interpret UAV data. The course addresses two specific and alternative application domains: precision agriculture and mapping applied to the water control in rural flood-affected areas.
Learning outcomes
Two main topics:
- UAVs for precision agriculture
In this course, you will gain the skills and knowledge to effectively utilize UAVs in precision agriculture. By the end of the course, you will be able to generate 2D and 3D maps, analyse vegetation and crop health, assess water stress, and even explore topics like wildlife and livestock monitoring. This hands-on training will equip you with the expertise needed to harness spatial data from UAVs for enhanced agricultural practices.
- UAVs use on mapping for water control in rural flood-affected areas
By completing this course, you will acquire the necessary expertise to employ UAVs for mapping in water management and flood control. You will learn how to generate accurate 2D and 3D maps, develop specialized flood analysis products, assess hydraulic properties, and utilize bathymetric tools for water volume calculations. With practical training and comprehensive knowledge, you will be able to compile and apply this information directly in GIS projects for flood modeling and control.
Entry requirements
There are no specific admission requirements. Basic knowledge of imagery and using UAVs are positive elements of attending this course.
Who is this offered to?
The course is intended for BSc and MSc students and PhD candidates who want to learn about using UAVs for precision agriculture or water management applications.
