The aim of the course:
This course aims to teach the students how to obtain Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images, to interpret these images, directing these images, producition of 3D point clouds, orthophotos, Digital Terrain and Surface Models with these images, programming the current map production stages at various scales and various photogrammetric software.
