Mapping and GIS
From measurement to data, from data to decisions.
The programme covers the full drone photogrammetry and LIDAR chain: flight planning, ground control points, processing, quality control and GIS integration.
Training uses the DJI Matrice 400, Zenmuse P1, Zenmuse L3 and Matrice 4E equipment that Azera Drones uses on real projects.
