The course aims at studying the main components, the laws and restrictions, the use of drones in different Engineering applications. More specifically, the main goal will be that of studying the basics for the acquisition of georeferenced spatial information by means of several payloads, such as: RGB, multispectral and thermal cameras, and LiDAR.
