UNB Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering

Sunny skies and LiDAR missions! ☀️🛸

Great day in the field with Dr. Shabnam Jabari’s GGE4303 class! We headed out to the UNB Woodlot for a hands-on drone demonstration, giving students a look at the full workflow of a professional aerial survey.

Our mission utilized the DJI Matrice 300RTK equipped with the DJI Zenmuse L1, a powerful payload featuring both LiDAR and RGB sensors. Before taking to the skies, we walked through the essentials of a successful LiDAR mission:

Setting up GNSS receivers over known points.
Laying out ground control targets and performing RTK surveys.
Technical flight prep: IMU calibration, mission parameters, and terrain following.
The weather was perfect for a 60-metre flight, and it was a pleasure to introduce some of our students to the Woodlot🌲 for the first time. UNB woodlot is owned by UNB and used for education, research, and recreation. Proud to support the next generation of Geomatics experts at UNB! 🎓🛰️
