A similar opening of the skies for sUAS applications is being allowed in countries across the world. Also, sUAS can access hazardous or inaccessible areas during disaster events and provide rapid response when needed. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplications of Small Unmanned Aircraft systems: Best Practices and Case Studies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first book that brings together the best practices of sUAS applied to a broad range of issues in high spatial resolution mapping projects. Very few sUAS pilots have the knowledge\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eof how the collected imagery is processed into value added mapping products that have commercial and\/or academic import. Since the field of sUAS applications is just a few years old, this book covers the need for a compendium of case studies to guide the planning, data collection, and most importantly data processing and map error issues, with the range of sensors available to the user community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by experienced academics and professionals, this book serves as a guide on how to formulate sUAS based projects, from choice of a sUAS, flight planning for a particular application, sensors and data acquisition, data processing software, mapping software and use of the high spatial resolution maps produced for particular types of geospatial modeling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocus on sUAS based data acquisition and processing into map products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBroad range of case studies by highly experienced academics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical guidance on sUAS hardware, sensors, and software utilized\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompilation of workflow insights from expert professors and professionals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelevant to academia, government, and industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePositional and thematic map accuracy, UAS curriculum development and workflow replicability issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book would be an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate to graduate level sUAS mapping application courses.
