HARMONIOUS Training Course 2020  – Villach, 26.-29.2 2020

COST Action HARMONIOUS is organizing a Training Course on UAS-based moitoring of Natural and Agricultural Ecosystems.

Program:

  1. Preprocessing of the UAS data
  • Flight planning and data preprocessing
  • Radiometric Calibration
  • 3D reconstruction with UAS (Photogrammetry)
  • Quality assessment of the UAS-products
  1. UAS Vegetation Monitoring

Explaining the theory and methods, hand on activities on the case studies

  • Monitoring Natural Ecosystems – plant composition/change and forest structure
  • Monitoring Agricultural Ecosystems – plant stress and soil moisture monitoring
  • Practical examples
  • Subgroup Activities on the case studies proposed by trainers (each participant chooses either natural or agricultural topic, students will work in small groups on the sample data provided with the help of material provided and tutors)

Location

Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS)

Spatial Information Management, Europastrasse 4, A-9524 Villach, Austria

CUAS Campus in Villach/St. Magdalen

Costs

Free of charge, accommodation and travel will be supported by the COST Action HARMONIOUS – Harmonization of UAS techniques for agricultural and natural ecosystems monitoring. Selected students will receive an economical support of 800€.

He is Full Professor of Hydrology and Hydraulic Constructions at the University of Naples Federico II. He is currently chair of the IAHS MOXXI working group. His research primarily centers on hydrological modeling and monitoring. Recognizing the challenges posed by the complexity and limitations of traditional hydrological observations, he actively explores advanced and alternative monitoring techniques, such as the utilization of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) coupled with image processing.
