Drones have become the most accessible way of capturing detailed aerial images – did you know drone technology can also help us to see the invisible? From monitoring the health of crops and pastures, to monitoring landslides and coastal erosion, UAS remote sensing has become a powerful tool in our approach to environmental monitoring. The University of Tasmania TerraLuma Research team is providing a unique opportunity for participants to learn how to turn their drone into a powerful remote sensing tool. You will advance your skills by learning specialised knowledge such as; choosing the most appropriate sensor, conducting high-precision aerial surveys, and converting your data into accurate, ultra-high resolution maps. This course contains approximately 10 hours of content that you can view at your own pace during the next 12 months. If you do require a RePL, we recommend Remote Aviation as a training provider who can offer a discount to course attendees.
Who should do this course?
This course is designed for anyone who wishes to learn about remote sensing with drones. This course is particularly useful for practitioners, researchers, and anyone who would like to learn more about drone mapping.
