What you will learn

  • Master end to end post processing techniques with outputs of image processing
  • Post process orthomosaics in QGIS to identify GPS points, measure distance and area
  • Post process digital surface models (DSM) in QGIS to identify GPS points, elevations and generate contours
  • Post process contours in QGIS to remove small objects, smoothen lines and overlay with the orthomosaic
  • Use QGIS to generate AutoCAD compatible orthomosaic and contours
  • Clip orthomosaics and DSMs with QGIS
  • Post process contours with AutoCAD to label them with elevation values
  • Post process orthomosaics with AutoCAD to create layers for boundaries, features and overlay with contours
  • Post process orthomosaics with Google Earth Pro to overlay them on satellite image, add placemarks and paths, perform measurements
  • Post process orthomosaics with GIMP to add layers for boundaries, titles, logo and get it ready for print
  • Generate reports

Course Description

This course is the second part of the 3 course series “The Ultimate Guide for Land Surveying with Drones”. This part covers the steps involved after you have processed the images from your drone survey. We have detailed post processing using various software applications such as QGIS, AutoCAD, Google Earth Pro and Gimp. We've also covered how to create the best reports for your clients and finally, how you can convert all this knowledge you have gained, into a sustainable and profitable business. This course is a continuation of the first course. It also useful for those of you who are already in the drone survey business.

The course series has over 4000 enrollments across 114 countries since it was released 10 months ago.

Reviews

"This is one Informative, clear and well done course. A lot of knowledge on post processing of drone data has been shared that is not available anywhere. Thanks!"

"The course is meticulously made with great visuals and the instructor takes you through the process step by step, elucidating all the concepts . There are a lot of materials like checklists etc that are a must have for all drone surveyors. Absolutely fantastic!"

"Part 2 of the course is fantastic! Kinda closes the loose ends when it comes to delivering drone mapping outputs to the customer. I used to be daunted by the thought of having to use qgis and autocad. Well, not anymore!"

"This course is completely technical and detailed. I would say it is a must for anyone who wants to do further than just process drone images on dronedeploy and pix4d."

"I like the fact the it uses QGIS open source. Many small companies can't afford the expensive programs. Besides, it's a good refresher."

Basically i am a Retired mine surveyor working as consultant with ETS instruments, this is totally new version for me even then i am trying to learn the things. since i don't have drone but i am interested to learn. thanks for teaching step by step.

It's good but I'm not sure about the workflow - it's good to have alternatives but for instance I think an Open Source CAD rather than Autocad would be better as if you're doing this course you are probably starting up and can't afford Autocad and also QGIS can do a lot of the post processing but regardless it's a great course and I wouldn't be able to make these comments if I hadn't learned from the course and compared it to my knowledge of QGIS

The Ultimate Guide To Surveying With Drones Part 1 was a spectacular course full of well-organized information carefully designed with the student's overall success in mind. I'm very grateful for that information and looking forward to Post Processing with AutoCAD, QGIS, Google Earth Pro, and GIMP in Part 2 of the series. I'm also looking forward to the section on converting this knowledge to actual profit and establishing a sustainable business in the industry. I feel like this is a crucial aspect chronically missing in traditional education.

This is a great course. I would like to see updated videos of the newest version of software used in this course. I wasnt able to do some of it because the plug-ins were no longer available for public use. Thanks for the knowledge!

By Katie Taladay on 3/26/2018

The beginning is repetitive with the first course in this series. ArcGIS applications were not covered (and should be). The audio volume quality is also very poor. I needed to use the closed captions. Instructors' accents are very easy to understand, but there is little intonation which makes it difficult to listen to for long. I enjoyed the demos.

The best course on working with Drone outputs available anywhere - either online or in any in-person training programme! I don't think any instructor has even thought of going into so much depth in using drone outputs further on so many varied tools and for so many applications! I thoroughly enjoyed this course!. It has rekindled my interest in Drones and I am looking forward to apply everything I learned in this course. Thank you very much!

By Sean Amsler on 12/27/2017

The course has detailed explanation of all tools used by surveyors for visualization and coming up with fantastic results. I would highly recommend this course for people in Surveying or in Drone Business.

By Andrew Wilkinson on 9/19/2017

Some mapping can be done in QGIS. Also, why use AutoCAD when you could use Autodesk' Map 3D. Other than that very good tutorials and I learnt something more about QGIS. Looking forward to more tutorials. For good graph design for reports have a look at: http://www.perceptualedge.com/files/GraphDesignIQ.html and http://libweb.surrey.ac.uk/library/skills/Number%20Skills%20Leicester/page_29.htm

By Nicolás Reynaldo on 8/12/2017

Gran información! No pude encontrar esta información en ningún otro sitio en Internet. El flujo de trabajo AUTOCAD para trabajar con salidas de pix4d es exactamente lo que estaba buscando. Y gracias de nuevo por proporcionar los subtítulos en español

By Donny Mott on 7/21/2017

Very good overview on the processing side of things. The first course was very good to. I would like to see a more in-depth walk through from acquisition to report generation of a small farm or plot of land with buildings and varied terrain. I would also like to see more scenarios to provide better ideas on how to handle different types of properties.
