Drone Surveying & Mapping with GIS Certificate (DSM)

This course will give you the knowledge to start performing professional drone-based surveying jobs. Visual images, maps, and models are the most common deliverables. Drone surveying also encompasses data captured with infrared and multispectral / hyperspectral cameras. By utilizing different sensors and capture methods, drones can provide useful data to a wide range of industries. This course will show you how to do this and more.

This drone surveying course is about the creation of maps, 3D models, and other geographical data via drone. It is most done by taking many images at different locations and then using software to merge them all together, creating a geometrically accurate map or model. In practice, this is accomplished using software that automates both flight and image capture.

The duration of the theory is 2 weeks and runs from Monday to Friday during which an in-house examination is completed as well. Once a candidate has completed the theory and examinations, the candidate will then move on to the practical flying element of the course and field data capture.

This course is specially designed for Surveying and mapping professionals, through this training surveyors will be able to do surveying through Drones in professional manner. This training will include Theory as well as practical which include fundamental Drones rules and regulations, construction of Drone, Drone flying, capturing data from Drone and Drone data processing in GIS Field.
