EN.1.UAV Drones: Introduction to 3D mapping

Learn how to optimize proceses and time for engineering projects.

What you’ll learn
Make measurements with the help of their UAV
Replace Lidar and Laser Scan devices with their UAV
Maximize results with their investment on UAV
Save lifes
Reduce Costs
Make a 3D model of buildings, people, terrain and objects
Export results to ArcGis and Autocad Civil 3D

Requirements
UAV platform that captures at least 12 mpx photos and has autonomous flight, remote shutter and fpv.
Windows 64 bit with high power CPU, GPU and ram
Download demo software of Agisoft Photoscan, Pix4d and 123D Catch
Need to know how to use an UAV

Description
This Course is about saving time and money with the help of UAV Drones and Photogrammetry.
The course has animated presentations, stats, parameters, tips, photo and video examples of working with UAV Drones for 3D mapping.
You can complete the course in a day and take a weekend for practicing with the samples.
This course talks about what is Photogrammetry, in which Industries can be applyed, which are the business models, the ideal equipment, the leading software and UAV platforms and some safety and operational tips.
You have to take this course if you want to replace your expensive 50 topographers, 20 total station and 10 laser scanner with 1 UAV platform and photogrammetry software suite, saving money and not putting in risk your staff. It is the most profitable use of UAV.
Laser scanner and Lidar costs about $60,000 to $150,000.
A good small UAV fully autonomous starts at $1200 and photogrammetry software from $0 up to $8000 with 1cm or 2cm per pixel precision.
