UAS 215 - UAS Mapping Systems
Description: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) concepts of operation in creation of high-resolution photo maps for decision making. Includes theory of data collection, concepts in photogrammetry, flight planning, photomapping software operation, and operation of Geographical Information System (GIS) software. Interpretation and manipulation of visual imagery, multispectral imagery, and digital surface models.
Prerequisites: UAS 120 .
