Abstract
Abstract. The key point of this paper is presentation of the main idea and some results of the project “Small UAS in civil engineering application scenarios” (SUAS-CAS). This project was proposed by newly established in 2016 ISPRS WG V/7: “Innovative Technologies in Training Civil Engineers and Architects”. Here we are presenting our experience in using low-cost UAS in training architects at Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, which was chosen as basic for this project. In the first part of paper, the project outline is presented. Then the first and possible follow project outcomes were described. In some details is described the training module “Small UAS in architecture” which was developed and included as a part of the subject “Architectural photogrammetry”.
Highlights
The modern world creates its own demands
In today's world, decision support in multiple civil engineering application scenarios is widely supported by geospatial information
Educational outcomes of the proposed project encompass: 1) understanding of small UAV flight planning and limitations of the SUAS platforms and sensors; 2) knowledge of contemporary issues in sensor modeling and calibration deploying classical photogrammetric methods versus computer vision; 3) understanding of technological steps for 3D modeling and geospatial analytics of commercial-of-the-shelf and open-source software packages; 4) hands-on expertize of SUAS data acquisition and processing; 5) understanding of legal regulations of SUAS deployment in airspace of the different countries; 6) profound understanding of SUAS sensors platforms and methods matching to accuracy and procedural needs of the civil engineering application scenarios
Summary
The modern world creates its own demands. In the context of the incredible mobility of people on the planet and the absolute availability of communications in all parts of the globe, the educational process cannot be kept away from these global processes. In today's world, decision support in multiple civil engineering application scenarios is widely supported by geospatial information. Challenge in training of modern civil engineers and architects is to provide them with balanced education and training in geospatial science and technology to prepare them for collection and processing of that data. To meet this challenge, newly established in 2016 ISPRS WG V/7: “Innovative Technologies in Training Civil Engineers and Architects” proposed to design computer and UAV aided teaching and learning module exploring geospatial application scenarios of decision support in verification of the state and “health” of various civil infrastructure objects such as buildings, bridges, road/railroad pavements and others
