Content:
"Unmanned Aircraft Systems are rapidly emerging as flexible platforms for capturing imagery and other data across sciences. Many colleges and universities are developing courses on UAS-based data acquisition. This book is a comprehensive, introductory text on how to use unmanned aircraft systems for data capture and analysis. It provides best practices for planning data capture missions and hands-on learning modules geared toward UAS data collection, processing, and applications. Readers will learn how to process different types of UAS imagery for applications such as Precision Agriculture, Forestry, Urban Landscapes, and apply this knowledge in environmental monitoring and land-use studies"--
