“ASPRS is widely known as the society that develops and disseminates mapping standards for photogrammetry and LiDAR and provides nationally accredited certifications for those in the mapping profession. We are honoured they chose Commercial UAV Expo as the exclusive event to launch their new certification program which is an important distinguishing credential for surveying and mapping professionals using UAS” said Lisa Murray, Commercial UAV Expo Event Director.
What can you expect from the Technical Symposium and UAS Mapping Certification?
In a nutshell:A technical symposium for UAS operators interested in producing geospatial deliverables, presented by ASPRS. Our technical symposium on 24 October will cover 8 topics to be presented by ASPRS members and practicing service providers. Each topic will build on the previous giving the attendee a comprehensive understanding of UAS mapping in accordance with geospatial accuracy standards. The symposium will end with a presentation on the new ASPRS UAS Mapping Certification.
Who attends:Individuals considering using UAS for geospatial related services, Individuals who consume UAS data to support downstream services such as: Land Development, Transportation, Utilities, Mining, City and County GIS services and more. UAS operators interested in the ASPRS UAS mapping certification program.
Symposium:8 sessions covering the entire mapping process culminating with a presentation on how to become certified by the ASPRS in UAS mapping.
