Technical Seesion – UAVs and Drones

 

Background

As the demand for timely, accurate, high-resolution and hyperspectral data for mapping, exploring, investigating and monitoring natural resources as well as on-ground assets increases, UAV, as a platform for collecting imagery data, are rapidly becoming the 'in' thing and a niche in geospatial technologies today. However, like all disruptive technologies, UAV is beset with regulatory issues, which hinder its true potential. The session shall discuss these issues, as well as feature some case studies from successful application of the technology.
