Overview
In “Drone Photogrammetry Fundamentals” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know Flight planning, overlap and ground resolution, Ground control points and georeferencing and Image processing into orthophoto and point cloud, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.
Whether machine control, microcontrollers, sensor networks or geodata analysis: in these fields software, hardware and real-world processes come together. Our courses teach Drone Photogrammetry Fundamentals along concrete tasks, from the first working example to robust use in operation. You program, configure and test step by step, learn typical failure patterns and apply proven patterns for clean, maintainable solutions. Exercise projects, sample code and checklists make it easy to transfer the skills to your daily work. Delivered online or on site, at a fixed price per participant.
The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
