Drone Photogrammetry and Data Processing with GIS Certificate (DPD)

Course duration: 40 hours, spread over 2 weeks

Course Code: DPD – 103

Course Objectives

Train on the use of drones in photogrammetry, provide the necessary tools for their application and provide the necessary knowledge to tackle a photogrammetric project with drones efficiently and professionally.

This course is all about UAV/Drone image processing for GIS data product generation. In this course, the end-to-end UAV/Drone image processing steps are explained in detail starting from image pre-processing/post-processing to accuracy assessment including theoretical content that provides better understanding. Other than Ortho, DSM, DTM. Point Cloud, Contour, and 3D mesh generation this course detailed about stereo satellite image processing, panorama generation, volume calculation, ortho colour correction, stereo setup file creation, RTK and PPK image processing and Network-based Parallel Image Processing for Massive image processing. I hope this course will provide “Most Advanced UAV/Drone Image Processing Knowledge to the Learners and the geospatial professional/community”.

Course Coverage

Theory

The theoretical part of the course covers all necessary knowledge for students to obtain professional skills in the field of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and thermal imaging, so that they can work as a professional in:

  • Mapping.
  • Photogrammetry.
  • Geodesy.
  • Use of software for data processing, and the generation of plans and 3D models.

Practical

During this stage, students must demonstrate the skills acquired in the theoretical part and put the knowledge into practice in order to obtain the necessary skills to work as a professional.

  • Photogrammetric flight planning.
  • Topographic surveys with a drone.
  • Generation of 3D models using photogrammetry.

Course Criterial

  • Be at least 18 years old.
  • Be able to read, speak, write, and understand English.
