Jun 22, 2016 -- With the formalization of the most important regulation for the US drone industry and an increasing number of professionals worldwide using drones and photogrammetry in their business, there’s a greater need for training on how to maximize usage. How does the technology work, and what is the optimal workflow for using these tools to map, measure, inspect and visualize?

In response to this need and to a growing amount of active customers, Pix4D is launching a global training program, offering technical workshops around the world to support the expansion of drone mapping by professionals. Australia, Korea, Japan, China, Switzerland, Mexico and the United States will host the coming events.

The sessions, ranging from a half day to four days in length, will cover both the theory behind and practice of using Pix4Dmapper photogrammetry software. Some sample topics are:

• Flight planning and data acquisition
• Best processing practices
• Accuracy and ground control points
• Advanced software features
• Surface, linear and volume measurements
• Index Calculator

Depending on the location, drone flight demos will take place and participants will receive a license of Pix4Dmapper Pro for training. For more information, go to Pix4D’s website.
