The course begins with a full day of 8 hours of theory, supported by a PowerPoint presentation and a facilitator in the classroom, who will cover key topics related to photogrammetry, such as definitions, types of surveying, survey surfaces, geoid, ellipsoid and local sphere, aspects related to photography, fundamental principles and the photogrammetric process, sensors and optics, aerophotogrammetric survey, mission planning and execution, restitution using Structure from Motion (SfM) software, and much more.

The second day includes 4 hours of practical training and 4 hours of data processing, using DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise, Mavic 3 multispectral, and Matrice M30T drones, with the support of two instructors and the use of a Stonex GNSS/RTK station. During the practical session, photogrammetric survey scenarios will be conducted, including reconnaissance, identification, and positioning of control points (GCP, CP, QCP), measurements execution, identification and cataloging of GCPs using software functions, use of automatic and manual flight modes, on-site data download, and quality verification. Subsequently, the collected data will be processed to create a 3D model and orthomosaic, with file preparation for migration to CAD platforms. Additionally, an example of restitution will be presented, including the calculation of the average definition of the 3D model and orthomosaic.
