Drone Photogrammetry

COURSE OVERVIEW

Drone photogrammetry is the science of using aerial imagery for surveying and mapping. With this technology, you can:

• Measure distances and surfaces
• Calculate volumes
• Create topographic maps
• Inspect buildings and infrastructure
• Monitor construction sites and mining operations

Compared to traditional surveying methods, drone photogrammetry delivers faster results with higher data density, making it an essential tool across many industries.

This course will teach you how to complete and process a drone photogrammetric survey using the Pix4D software suite. Designed by an expert with experience on large-scale drone photogrammetry projects, the course is accessible to everyone, and no prior knowledge is required. This course is designed to give you the skills to confidently complete drone photogrammetry projects from start to finish.

What you’ll learn:

Section 1 – Choosing Your Drone and Camera

• How drone and camera specifications affect survey accuracy and quality
• Selecting the right equipment for your project

Section 2 – Planning and Conducting a Drone Survey

• Setting up your drone mission
• Defining the flight area
• Surveying ground control points
• Identifying potential sources of error
• Watching demonstrations of real survey projects

Section 3 – Processing and Modeling Your Data

• Modeling the surveyed area using Pix4D software
• Measuring distances, areas, and volumes
• Processing and exporting point clouds
• Generating orthomosaics
• Modeling with and without ground control points

Section 4 – Sharing and Collaborating with Pix4Dcloud

• Uploading projects to Pix4Dcloud
• Sharing data with colleagues or clients efficiently

At the end of the course, you will complete an assessment using real survey data provided in the course. This allows you to:

• Practice your skills
• Apply the knowledge you’ve gained
• Prepare for real-world drone photogrammetry projects
