First, lets go over the topics we will be covering in this course.
Basics of Ground Control Points (GCPs)
Here, we will explore the basic definition of GCPs, global coordinates and the different ways to capture GCPs
Equipment used for onsite capture of GCPs
In this section, we will explore all the types of equipment available in market using which you can capture
accurate coordinates required for GCPs
We will also explore on site alternatives to using GCPs to achieve global accuracy.
GCP Best Practices - In this section
we will cover 3 aspects of GCP best practices that will ensure success of your projects-
One - Number of GCPs to be used, Two- DCP positioning strategies and Three- the GCP target design.
We will then demonstrate to you, an on site drone data capture workflow with GCPs for one of our projects.
And finally we will look at all the steps involved in how to process the captured data with Pix4D
to get survey grade accurate results!
At the end we will compare and analyse the differences in outputs between data processed with and without GCPs.
