*Last GeoByte before the summer break. * *Fri, Jun 30, 2017 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT* Please register using the link below https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/9180720161997415427 Much research has been devoted to development of techniques to improve airborne imaging of underwater features using traditional aircraft equipped with metric-grade cameras. Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) provide a paradigm shift in efficiency and low cost aerial surveying of marine and coastal zones compared to traditional methods. This presentation will show emergent applications of UAS- based remote sensing and photogrammetry to coastal and marine environments. Topics covered will include the following: (1) structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and optical inversion for mapping littoral zones; (2) airborne fluid lensing for monitoring of aquatic resources; (3) debris mapping and plastics identification. Time permitting, additional examples on the emergent use of UAS for coastal and marine surveillance will be presented -------- David Alvarez “THE FURTHER BACKWARDS YOU LOOK, THE FURTHER FORWARD YOU CAN SEE" Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list (CTGIS-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all CT GIS Users.
