2019 Big Sky GeoCon

The Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) industry is changing rapidly with new drone technology coming online every week. UAS is a way to reduce project costs, share up-to-date and accurate information, and keep field workers safe. Lower cost drones and more user-friendly software are enabling professionals in engineering, GIS, surveying and construction to rapidly create geospatial data. Applications are wide spread including GIS mapping, cut/fill measurements, site monitoring and 3D modeling. Learn how you can take advantage of this exciting technology to produce high-accuracy data in a fraction of the time.
After this presentation, participants will have a better understanding of drone technology and the common applications for UAS in engineering and GIS. Including how ground control and photogrammetry software are used to generate high quality UAS outputs.
