Course details
This course introduces students to practical and thoeretical skills on how to carryout a proper site survey and provides the basics of how to mission plan a drone flight. EMR theory is reviewed and the basics of passive remote sensors are discussed. This leads to an overview of applications of multi-spectral and thermal sensors with a goal of setting up a sensor for image acquisition.
