Drone Symposium At University Of Wyoming Is Not To Be Missed

University of Wyoming is coming up with a two-day seminar that’ll cover topics such as drone usage, the technology challenges, and legal issues.

“We’re excited to host the second biannual UAV Symposium, where experts from industry, government agencies and academia will come together to share updates on recent developments and trends in UAV and their opportunities and challenges for various applications,” says Paddington Hodza, acting director of UW’s Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC).

“Since the first symposium, numerous advances have taken place in drone and sensor technologies. We’re looking forward to talks on advances in areas of natural resources, energy, environment and others, along with new ways to collect and process drone imagery,” says Ramesh Sivanpillai, Research Scientist with WyGISC.

The two-day session will focus on topics such as safety and legal issues, advances in hardware and software, and a panel discussion of the FAA remote pilot certification examination. Fetching the images and videos is all a technique and, “One has to carefully plan for the amount and type of images to collect, obtain adequate resources to post-process those data and, most importantly, stay within the legal requirements while these UAV’s are in the air,” added Sivanpillai.
