Summary

Course offer students obtaining theoretical and practical knowledge in using unmanned air vehiles (UAV) in geoinformatics and related fields. In theoretical part students obtain knowledge about UAV categories, possibilities of their application, sensoral equipment, principles of UAV data processing and legislation of UAV operation. Practical part of course is focused on complex process of UAV data collection and their processing and post-processing to final products (3d point clouds, digital terrain models, ortophotomosaics, multispectral and thermal imagery).
