    Utilizing low-cost unmanned vehicle (UAV) to build orthophotos and Digital Surface Models Speaker: Britta Ricker, PhD When: Weds. Dec. 16, 2015 Noon – 1pm Where: USGS Water Science Center Office – Tacoma Columbia Conference room 934 Broadway, Suite 300 Tacoma, WA 98402 In this presentation, I will briefly contextualize this evolution by presenting how photogrammetry is reaching a confluence with structure for motion (SfM) software and why this is important. I will introduce methods of aerial imagery collection through the use of a low-cost and popular UAV systems. I will then focus on how to process the imagery to generate orthophotos and digital surface models (DSM) through the use of SfM software. I will conclude by presenting additional considerations including legal regulations, good flying practice, accuracy and precision and future research.
