Commercial UAV Expo

Live Outdoor Flying Demonstrations – SOLD OUT!

Seeing drones and software in action before you invest in a system provides much-needed insight into their capabilities. That’s why Commercial UAV Expo, in cooperation with Sundance Media Group, offers you the opportunity to see and compare systems in real-world scenarios.

Leading vendors will demonstrate a range of drone applications. Not only will airframe and sensor capabilities be showcased, but a sophisticated AV set up will allow users to view resulting data sets and processing solutions for the full end-to-end view of the technology. Drone experts will be on-hand to narrate live scenarios and field questions from the audience.

Photogrammetric Mapping with UAS

This workshop teaches the fundamentals of creating controlled map products and 3D models from UAS-mounted camera systems. Participants will learn to successfully design projects in accordance with ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards, including flight planning, ground control placement, camera calibration, block adjustment, product generation, quality control, and accuracy assessment. These concepts will be taught with a software-agnostic approach that is applicable to any commercially available package. Topics covered in this workshop are representative of those included on the ASPRS Certified Technologist and Certified Mapping Scientist examinations.

Night UAV CSI Demonstration

Sundance Media Group, and public safety personnel will demonstrate how to achieve scene capture in the dark, with a drone, capable of 2D and 3D mapping and modelling. These same techniques may be applied to virtually any type of night scene capture. The demonstration will create a crime scene and will fly it with both night-vision and standard RGB cameras to demonstrate the viability of wide-variety of non-specialized cameras in dark crime scene capture environments. Once the data capture has been completed, the SMG team will showcase how quickly the data can be processed for in-the-field insights, and for rapid verification of image capture and area integrity.

Night UAV Flight Workshop (Theory + Field)

This one-of-a-kind training session will provide information that will allow pilots to understand the safety issues and physical challenges presented when flying UAVs at night. This course will ensure a best-practice process to sidestep these challenges, while properly assessing and managing the risks associated with night flight (as waived per Part 107.29). We will discuss acclimating your eye for night flight and discuss the use of lights to illuminate our subjects and how to avoid “light contamination” in our eyes.

After a comprehensive classroom theory session (approximately 2 to 2.5 hours), we will then head out to a pre-agreed upon location for the practical component of this night flight training.

From Photogrammetry Data to Survey Deliverable by Virtual Surveyor

Drone surveying does not end at the photogrammetry! To provide relevant and usable data to engineers and surveyors, the data must be prepared for their CAD and workflows. Learn how to intelligently convert your heavy drone data to a lightweight CAD model that has design intent or deliverables that are client ready.

This workshop will focus on utilizing Virtual Surveyor to create intelligent, design intent-focused data that integrates perfectly into surveyors, engineers, and other professionals’ existing workflows. In this workshop, you will learn Virtual Surveyor concepts and practices and see real world examples of how some common projects are processed
