UAS Remote Sensing Student Training – Fall 2024 Semester

UAS Remote Sensing Student Training – Fall 2024 Semester published on

In late October at Towson University, Geography students received UAS remote sensing training from Dr. Carter Wang. Students had the opportunity to fly the DJI Matrice 200 V2 drone that is equipped with the MicaSense Altum 6-band multispectral sensor. They collected aerial photographs of the campus, and later learned how to process these images for use in vegetation health analysis and map creation.

Professor Dr. Carter Wang demonstrates how to use the DJIFly App to create and upload a flight plan to the drone.
