Designing a UAS Mission for Map Accuracy – Guidelines

This presentation helps a prospective unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and computer vision (CV) professional to further discover what matters to quality. We will discuss how the selection of the Drone/UAS and sensors may affect your desired project scope and outcomes. The guidelines for proper mission “design” and planning are discussed. Guidelines are introduced that pertain to project scope, mission, post flight requirements and CV image processing are introduced. Finally, conclusions about the ability to obtain high accuracy through a process of quality assurance & control guidelines are made.

Objectives

• Learn how to apply mission “design”
• Learn about the Guidelines developed for UAS operation related to adverse map accuracy factors
• Learn how to apply the Guidelines to a UAS mapping project related to these adverse factors.
