CE Faculty attended a course on UAV Remote Sensing Applications organized by ISRO

With the availability and development of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution, and multi-frequency image data from operational Earth observation satellites more limitations have appeared in remote sensing applications. To overcome the limitations, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology is developed for remote sensing application. It forms a rapidly developing area of research in remote sensing. Objective of the course was to create awareness among professionals, academicians and government on UAV technology of remote sensing data and its applications

Dr. C. Prakasam faculty member of Civil Engineering department attended a course on UAV Remote Sensing Applications organized by Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, ISRO, Dehradun during 5-9 October, 2015. The course was a blend of lectures and demonstrations on fundamental of UAV remote sensing, challenges in data acquisition and processing, potential advantages of UAV data in natural resource management and disaster management.

It was one of the first UAV courses organized in India, there were 22 participants from different parts of the country and this course included lectures and software training on UAV applications in different field of civil and allied engineering.
