    Daniel Elorza

    Alumnus

    «Enrolling in the UMILES Drone Pilot Master’s program was the best decision I have made since I got started in the world of drones.

    The fact that the master’s is in-person and lasts an entire academic year allowed me to gain an in-depth understanding of this world and its various professional applications. It all comes with a good theory/practice balance, and best of all, it allowed me to meet people who share the same interest in drones as I do.»

    Course content and organisation of the drone photogrammetry course

    This course takes place in Madrid and has structured content taught by experienced active professionals working in the sector.

    Duration

    This drone topography, photogrammetry and remote sensing course lasts for 40 hours, with classes spread over 2 weeks.

    Goals

    On successfully completing the course, students must be able to take aerial measurements using drones, obtain areas, volumes, and surfaces, reflect the information on plans, and model 3D terrains.

    Course content

    The course structure has been segmented into a theoretical stage and a practical stage:

    Theoretical module

    The theoretical part of the course covers all necessary knowledge for students to obtain professional skills in the field of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and thermal imaging, so that they are able to work as a professional in:

    • Mapping.
    • Photogrammetry.
    • Geodesy.
    • Use of software for data processing, and the generation of plans and 3D models.

    Practical module

    During this stage, students must demonstrate the skills acquired in the theoretical part, and put the knowledge into practice in order to obtain the necessary skills to work as a professional.

    • Photogrammetric flight planning.
    • Topographic surveys with a drone.
    • Generation of 3D models using photogrammetry.
