Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionPart 107 Remote Pilot Certification to rent equipment. This course provides an introduction to the principles and applications of photogrammetry, the science of obtaining reliable measurements and three-dimensional (3D) data from photographs and imagery. Students will explore aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry techniques, image processing software, and data interpretation methods used in fields such as geospatial mapping, remote sensing, and 3D modeling. Emphasis is placed on hands-on learning using drones and specialized photogrammetry software to collect, process, and analyze spatial data. Real-world case studies will be examined to demonstrate how photogrammetry is used in topographic mapping, construction site monitoring, agriculture, archaeology, and other industries. Students must be FAA certified to rent any equipment from the college for insurance requirements.
