Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course aims to introduce the techniques of acquisition, processing and analysis of very high resolution remote sensing data, with a specific focus on the monitoring of agricultural, forest and semi-naturals ecosystems.
This optional course follows the course ENVT0045 "Applied Geomatics and Remote Sensing".
The course is structured in 3 main parts:
- Introduction to drone imaging acquisition techniques
- Introduction to photogrammetric processing of drone imagery
- Introduction to geoprocessing using tools available in the R environment (sf and terra packages)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the student must be able to:
- Select a UAV equipment (platform and sensor) for a given objective;
- Prepare and execute a data acquisition campaign with a UAV;
- Process and analyze an image dataset produces with UAV (photogrammetric processing, analysis of the 3D model).
