FNR 56020 - Digital Data Acquisition Camp - Photogrammetric Mapping
Credit Hours: 1.00. This class is the second sequential course (of four) within the Digital Data Acquisition Camp, a 3 week-long intensive, in-person program. The class will cover the basic principles of deriving 3D information from overlapping images with special attention to acquired imagery by UAS onboard forest environments. The concepts of digital camera calibration, image georeferencing, 3D reconstruction from imagery, mission planning, Structure from Motion (SfM), and qualitative/quantitative evaluation of derived products will be explained. Theoretical aspects will be emphasized through the analysis of derived products from images of forest stand acquired during both leaf-on and leaf-off conditions. Permission from the Department is required.
Learning Outcomes
1. Understand and apply the principles of deriving 3D information from overlapping imagery. 2. Explain the concept of digital camera calibration and its impact on image-based 3D reconstruction. 3. Demonstrate the concepts of indirect and direct georeferencing using ground control points and navigation units onboard UAVs. 4. Use the principles of Structure from Motion (SfM) and interpret the derived quality reports. 5. Design a mission plan for a UAV imaging system and process acquired data for forest inventory.
Credits: 1.00
