Challenges of UAV spatial sampling (Bolzano – Italy) – October 2016

The objective of the workshop was to bring together people with expertise about beam and imaging spectrometers for ecological analysis. The 2 approaches have advantages and disadvantages in the spectral and in the spatial domain. During the days of the workshop we will discuss these and design experiments for testing hypothesis on sampling designs. Experts of field spectrometry, UAV science, geostatistics and photogrammetry have been invited. During the workshop an experiment will be planned, executed and data will be processed.

The workshop is organized in 4 days. The first 2.5 are reserved to OPTIMISE members. Wednesday afternoon there will be talks (in Italian/German) for the public. The 4th day is dedicated to graduate students.
