How We Learned
• Self-Taught– Prior knowledge as springboard– Scour tutorials, forums, groups
• Trial & Error– Research, Guess, Purchase
• Aircraft, software, accessories– Buy, Fly, Crash, Fix
• Repeat….

How We Teach• Determine client’s goals / experience / budget• Customized, individualized training
– Face-to-Face– Best for initial systems, flight and software training
• Able to teach basics in one day– Ground school, flight, image capture, post-processing
• Follow-up with remote training– Using remote PC / MAC screen access (recorded session)– Assist in processing client’s first projects– Teach advanced processing / different output types / other software
• Follow-up with clients as technology improves

In-House or Outsource
• Questions to ask– Familiar with technology/ convinced of benefits?– How much UAS mapping work anticipated?– Staff available to train?– Ability to invest?– Desire to keep up with technology– Already in related business (natural progression of capabilities?)– Outsource at first prior to making decision

28
UAS Mapping Strategy– Initial• Consult with expert• Start small – Consumer or Prosumer Quadrotor / register with FAA• Train one to two individuals
– Learn systems / image capture / post processing– Obtain FAA Part 107 Drone certification
• Obtain Liability Insurance – Annual – around $800-$1,000 for $1M– On Demand (e.g. Verifly) - from $10/hr for $1M
• Capture sample missions– Topographic, orthographic, volume measurement, 3D modeling, etc.– Work with Ground Control points (team up with surveyor at first)
• Learn end-to-end workflow• Simple single battery missions – migrate to multi-battery missions• Produce deliverables for projects <100 acres

29
UAS Mapping Strategy - Mature
• Add fixed wing platform• Larger areas / datasets• Learn additional software tools
– Global Mapper / Virtual Surveyor• Dedicated processing computer• More complex deliverables (additional workflow)• Add additional staff – separate image capture from
back end processing

30
Emerging Technologies• Increasing Accuracy
– Proliferation of Real Time Kinematics (RTK)• Accurate measurements without GCP
• Obstacle Avoidance• Transponders / Collision Avoidance• Automation: Standoff / vertical patterns / 3D modeling• Airborne LIDAR• Software Improvements
– Post Processing– Flight control / Image capture– Terrain Awareness
• Increased battery capacity / flight times• Camera improvements – zoom, thermal, multispectral
