Description
Program
1. 16 - 17 May 2024
Theoretical training preparatory to obtaining the UAS OPEN A1-A3 Operators and Pilots Certificate (16 hours)
- Propaedeutical contents for obtaining OPEN A1 - A3 Certificate for UAS pilots and possibility to simulate the exam with updated questions
- Contents for carrying out the activity of UAS Operator
- Identification of the professionals involved in the field of digital surveying with UAS instrumentation
- Definition of regulatory and procedural aspects for the OPEN A1 and A3 category
2. 23 - 24 May 2024
Photogrammetric theory, flight design and acquisition of a case study (16 hours)
- Treatment of the main issues involved in photogrammetric surveying by drone: types of instruments and the most commonly used sensors in the architectural and environmental fields; issues of resolutions and accuracy; ground control points (GCPs) and their positioning; reference systems (SRs) and data management for georeferencing
- Flight design and identification of the scenarios in which it will operate; definition of grabbing patterns
- Technical procedures, settings, and pre-flight checks that take into account environmental, technical, and logistical issues
- Practical acquisition of a case study with the following fleet of drones: Dji Mavic 3 and Dji Matrice 300 RTK
3. 31 May 2024
Data processing, restitution and validation of results (8 hours)
- Processing of the dataset acquired in the campaign (images and GCPs taken with GNSS instrumentation) using photogrammetric software that is based on the principle of Structure from Motion provided in demo mode
- Application of topographic measurements for scaling and verification of the photogrammetric model
- Extraction and visualization of three-dimensional information (point cloud, mesh)
- Processing of orthophotos and digital elevation models (DSM, DTM)
- Processing methods and techniques for validation of final products
Educational project
The world of UAS systems is constantly evolving, both technologically and normatively.
The digital information transition opens new training paths and professional opportunities that must be supported by adequate technical training contextualized in the current EASA regulatory scenario.
The course aims to provide both theoretical and practical skills for planning a flight aimed at an architectural and environmental survey, through in-person lectures and field activities.
Participants will be supported in the training to obtaining the UAS OPEN A1-A3 Pilot Certificate. They will also be able to experience all phases of a drone survey work: initial design, data acquisition of a case study, information processing, until the final restitution. Special attention will be given to photogrammetric survey methodology (sensors, resolutions, control points, GCP, and reference systems). Data processing will be carried out with widely used software that will allow the extraction of three-dimensional information (point clouds, meshes) of the surveyed object and digital orthophotos. Methods and techniques for validating the final products will complete the training.
Requirements
No specific requirements are needed to participate in the course.
Anyone who wants to approach this surveying methodology or wants to expand their knowledge and skills is eligible.
Computer equipment:
Personal notebook with Windows 8 or higher or Mac OS is required.
No special hardware requirements.
