The UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources is holding a three-day short course on using drones for mapping and data collection June 18-21, 2018 at UC San Diego. This bootcamp style workshop will cover the full suite of steps and skills for using drones for mapping and data collection, including: - UAV and sensor technology - Principles of photogrammetry and remote sensing - Safety and regulations - Mission planning - Flight operations including hands-on practice* - Data management, processing, and analysis - Visualization
The fee for this three-day training is $500 for University of California employees and students, and $900 for everyone else. A limited number of fee waivers are available for students and non-profits. Additional information and registration info can be found at http://igis.ucanr.edu/dronecamp/. Registration requires a short application about your background and learning goals, which are reviewed on a rolling basis until all spots are filled. Questions may be directed to Andy Lyons <[email protected]> or Sean Hogan <[email protected]>. (*due to the size of the class, half of the students will practice flying on Monday June 18, and the other half on Thursday June 21. You only have to be present for one of the flight days, not both. Preferences for flight-days will be part of the registration process.)
