UAS Class Poster

-


This week we were able to come together and collaborate with our other classmates to create a poster showcasing our capstone course work and research. This poster is a great representation of our class and allows us to show the world what we do. We decided to go with the theme of Why Unmanned Aerial Systems? This is not only a question for prospective students but for professionals in many industries. Unmanned Aerial Systems are innovating many industries globally.

My research group and I were able to show some of our findings and give an overview of how Unmanned Aerial Systems are being used in search and rescue operations. Our section shows how, with the software we are using, drones can effectively locate a target or a person. I personally was able to help the class with creating the introduction as well as writing out the descriptions for each section. I provided search and rescue images as well as a map which was created to display volumetric calculations.

The poster our class has created is pictured below.

GIS Day Poster Last week  we presented our GIS poster rough draft to the class  to receive critiques and make necessary changes before GIS  day on November 7 th , 2019.  Below are the critiques we received from the class and Dr. Hupy,  we took into consideration all critiques and made changes we thought were necessary.  Our final poster is pictured below, click on the image to view the full-size figure.    Critiques: ·          Hupy o    Bad title o    Too much details, reword title. Explain what we’re actually doing o    Think in terms of somebody unknowledgeable ·          Jasper o    Likes layout o    Less text o    Clean, title more centered ·          Sam o    Question about comparing the ortho & Loc8 ·          Alan o    Very specific o    Under methods bigger space between certain words, look at word spacing ·          Luke M o    Doesn't like black bar o    Photo of platform? (grayscale) o    Purdue & SATT logo

Introduction What is Pix4D? Pix4D is a photogrammetry program that allows the user to generate 2D orthomosiacs, 3D surface models and point clouds with the geo-referenced imagery data they have collected. Pix4D allows for multiple different data inputs such as RGB images, thermal images and multispectral images. With Pix4D the user has the option to utilize a cloud based software and access their data and projects from multiple devices.   What Products does it generate? Pix4D generates photogrammetric models such as, but not limited to point clouds, orthomosiacs, surface and elevation models, textured 3D mesh and thermal maps.  Why is a so integral to UAS data processing? Pix4D allows the UAS user to generate products quickly and accurately from the data that was collected. Pix4D allows input from multiple common UAS sensors and does a good job at creating three dimensional models of the mission area. Pix4D does a good job at integrating flight planning and on the spo
