Kentucky GIS Conference 2024

Are you ready for the next step in capturing images and creating awesome maps, board reports, department presentations, neighborhood project updates, or historical land records? Participants in this workshop will serve on a drone team, plan and fly a simple mission in the surrounding area, process the data, and create a number of final products to include: orthorectified maps, lidar point clouds, 3D models, and more. Also discussed will be how to become an FAA Part 107 pilot, how to plan and specify a UAS project request, UAS hardware and software, and the basics of owning and operating a UAS. This workshop is for folks who require the acquisition of images or videos for department /agency /school /business projects.
