What does the course involve?

This course has been designed from the ground up to ensure you have the primary knowledge to successfully plan for automated drone flight operations to capture land mapping data for orthomosaics, 3D models, detailed 3D maps and how to process all of the data.

You'll get shown how to output the data and present to your clients in an effective way.
