Aerial Photography with UAV

The course objectives include: knowledge about various aircraft and payloads, the geodetic control creation, flights planning and their implementation, the main stages of data processing and application of the results obtained. The course developed by SPBU together with Geoscan Group – the leading Russian UAV manufacturer and processing software developer. This allowed us to make the course fulfilled with the practical aspects of aerial photography with UAV.
