Interesting ArcGIS Lessons estimate storage capacity with drone imagery This is a very similar lesson to the things we are doing in the lab currently but uses different processing and modeling software to achieve similar results of finding the volume of a water basin. predict floods with unit hydrographs This lesson was about predicting potential flood areas around rivers. This is interesting to me because floods are a devastating event to infrastructure. classify land cover to measure shrinking lakes This lesson is about showing the decreasing surface area of lakes which is an important part in the preservation of fresh water. where does healthcare cost the most This lesson is about showing where healthcare costs the most. this is important information for comparing poverty and low-income data with the costs of healthcare. global measures of hunger This lesson shows global statistics for hunger. Get Started with ArcGIS Living Atlas One thing that ma...
Sep 7, 2020 Memorandum To: Dr. Joseph Hupy From: Cole Bramel Date: September 1st , 2020 Subject: Week One Field Notes On September 1 st , our the class was able to witness the operations of the Bramor fixed wing as well as the setup for a search and rescue. During this operation, we witnessed the crew go through a preflight checklist as well as the setup, launch, flight, and recovery of the aircraft. We also discussed some important details to keep in mind while the drone is in flight and what to do in an emergency. We then got to watch the M600 run a short mission. We learned that the camera on the Bramor was a Sony Rx1 with a 35mm lens. The settings for the camera were, a F-stop of 4.5, an ISO of 100, and a shutter of 1/1600. When the planned mission was over, the team showed us what the recovery was like. The aircraft returned to the field in front of the team and began to loiter until it was at a low enough altitude that the...
Sep 29, 2020 Week 5 Field Report Group 2: Jesse Giampaolo, Nick Dayton, Cole Bramel AT 409 UAS Capstone Course 9/22/2020 Martell Forest missions status: This week and next, flight groups will be working to get cleared to fly the M600. The leaves are expected to start changing next week and it is essential to start collecting data beginning this week. Next week we should be cleared to fly. Cole is not in attendance today due to potential exposure to covid. All notes and this report was shared with him. PWA Search and Rescue Simulation: In an effort to get more mock search and rescue missions logged, William Weldon supervised two groups (myself included) through a number of iterations today. William hid the “body” which consisted of a red shirt and jeans. One group conducted the flight while the other analyzed the images. After the UAV was grounded, the flight crew packed it up and then became the ground search crew. The image analy...
