FREE WEBINAR: Airborne LiDAR & bathymetry surveying for coastal mapping and reservoir modeling
TOPODRONE, a Swiss based designer and manufacturer of high-precision surveying equipment, invites to join a free on-line webinar on waters management based on LiDAR and bathymetry data collected with the use of a UAV. Register via the link and join on March 21, 4 pm CET.
Following up the participation in Geo Week session on ‘Applications of Remotely Sensed TopoBathymetric Data’ TOPODRONE team will present a few exclusive case studies for a wider audience. One of the use cases will be devoted to coastal mapping. The data was collected in Italy while the team was challenged with the wave height as of 1m. Another use case will share insights on how to perform a comprehensive survey of a reservoir in 1 day.
UAV-based bathymetry can be considered as a game changer for reservoir characterization and modeling, environmental monitoring, studies of sea, lake or riverbeds. It is a relatively new surveying approach which allows to investigate waters and deliver topo bathymetric maps where traditional methods with boats or USV boats are forbidden or hardly applicable due to ecological reasons or complex terrain. One of the key advantages of the method is the ability to use the same drone hardware for multiple types of studies: photogrammetry, LiDAR, bathymetry. A small team of 1-3 surveyors could perform large scale aerial studies without additional paper bureaucracy associated with boat route & petrol spent approvals.
