This course introduces students to the foundational concepts and practical applications of aerial image analysis, with a focus on machine vision, photogrammetry, and advanced image processing techniques. Students will learn how to plan and execute drone missions for high-quality image acquisition, process and analyze aerial images to extract meaningful information, and create 3D models and orthomosaic imagery using photogrammetry software. Emphasis will be placed on classifying objects and detecting patterns through machine vision techniques, as well as presenting analysis results through visualizations and comprehensive reports. The course also covers ethical considerations, privacy concerns, and regulatory requirements in various industries using drone-acquired imagery. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the skills to interpret aerial imagery for applications in sectors such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure management.
