Abstract

This research project aims to support the collective infrastructure of the Faculty of Engineering of Bauru / Unesp with the acquisition of a Multirotor Drone, capable of 3D model generation and 60-minute autonomy for performing aerial surveys, watershed mapping, and monitoring of transmission lines and the environment. In addition, the treatment of the images used (for example: orthomosaic generation, digital surface model, etc.) requires specific software. An educational license of the software Pix4Dmapper Pro is planned. This proposal is intended to cover research topics and research groups of the Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Production Engineering of the faculty. (AU)
