UAVs and FME: Powering Your Drone and Its Data with FME

This presentation will look at some typical UAV support workflows where FME can help both with flight planning and post processing. Examples include examining flight restrictions and obstacles to determine where it is safe to fly. For post processing, FME's tools for managing imagery will be examined, including georeferencing and mosaicking. The results from local test flights on a low-cost UAV platform will be reviewed. We will wrap with a summary of some customer applications where FME has been used to support UAV operations, and some of the challenges and opportunities that this rapidly growing industry presents in the near future.
