Fundamentals of Capturing and Processing Drone Imagery and Data

About the author

Amy E. Frazier is an Assistant Professor in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University. She has over 10 years of experience in remote sensing data acquisition, processing, and analysis and has been working with UAS for the past 5 years. She holds her FAA Part 107 UAS Pilot’s license and has experience with both fixed wing and rotor aircraft. Most recently, she has been part of a multi-institutional team funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation that are developing systems and integrated sensors onboard UAS to better understand severe weather from formation through damage assessment.
Kunwar K. Singh is a Geospatial Scientist at AidData research lab and an Affiliate Faculty in the Center for Geospatial Analysis at the College of William & Mary. He has extensive experience in remote sensing data acquisition, processing, and analysis, including the application of LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and UAS to measure, map, and model landscape characteristics and resources. His research focuses on land and vegetation dynamics and their impacts on natural resources.

Summary

A comprehensive, introductory text on how to use unmanned aircraft systems for data capture and analysis. It provides best practices for executing data capture UAS missions and hands-on learning modules geared toward UAS data collection, processing, and applications. Applications range from Forestry to Urban Landscapes, and other land-use studies.
