Teaching geoscientific photogrammetry-based data acquisition and processing

 
This compendium forms part of the UNIS [Geo-MOD](https://unisvalbard.github.io/Geo-MOD/landing-page.html) series:

> [Geo-UAV: Learn to fly geoscientific missions](https://unisvalbard.github.io/Geo-UAV/landing-page.html)

> [Geo-SfM: Learn to apply structure-from-motion photogrammetry](https://unisvalbard.github.io/Geo-SfM/landing-page.html)

The first iteration of the Geo-MOD course has run at The University Centre in Svalbard between the 19-24 of June 2023.

This course is designed for students, as well as scientific and technical staff who are interested in learning or enhancing their skills in using UAV-based geoscientific data acquisition for photogrammetry in the field to produce scientifically deliverable and publishable 3D and DEM models.

UAV photogrammetry consists of three main stages:

  1. Data acquisition
  2. Data processing
  3. Data analysis

Geo-MOD is complemented by different modules to cover each stage of the UAV photogrammetry workflow. Geo-UAV, is a tutorial for UAV-based data acquisition in the field, Geo-SfM is a tutorial for acquisition, processing and analysis of structure-from-motion photogrammetry data in the geosciences and AG-222 Compendium is a tutorial that provides different resources for analyzing the data and publish your research.

About Geo-MOD

Geo-MOD is an open-source reference work for the UAV-based data acquisition in the field.

The reference work is primarily developed as a class-room aid. Best practices and tutorials are based on the experience acquired as part of the Svalbox project, which aims to digitize as many outcrops as possible in Svalbard (Norwegian Arctic).

Course content and learning goals

Geo-MOD course is split in several modules, consisting of interactive lectures walkthroughs, and exercises.

  • Introduction to Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry
  • Geo-referencing
  • UAV flight regulations
  • Design your own flight plan
  • How to fly an UAV
  • UAV data acquisition
Course participants are encouraged to use [Issues](https://unisvalbard.github.io/Geo-MOD/issues.html) on GitHub to raise questions regarding content issues so that everyone else with a similar doubt can look into it.

Alternatively, feel free to make notes and annotations through the included [Hypothes.is](https://hypothes.is) integration.

Project status

Geo-MOD is still in development, with additional tutorials and how-tos added continously to keep the work up-to-date with recent developments and evolving best practices.
