UAS INDUSTRY LEADERS PARTICIPATING
IN UAS MAPPING 2015 RENO
T

UAS technical
s ymp o s i um
sponsored by the American Society for Photogram-
metry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) announces the
industry leaders in the UAS commercial industry who
are confirmed for
The
program uniquely includes test course flights, data
processing workshops, live demonstration, and a
strong technical program focused on “best practice”
for collection and processing of data from UAS.
Industry leaders are on the program to provide practical information on advances on sensors
and platforms as well as soup-to-nuts details on planning a mission, controlling the mission,
flying the mission, and processing the data. ASPRS is “The Imaging and Geospatial Informa-
tion Society” and its members will be evaluating issues such as accuracy and data quality.
By popular demand, the program will bring presentations highlighting real-world UAS map-
ping applications – transportation, survey design-build, infrastructure assessment, natural
resource monitoring, and agriculture. Toward the end of the second day, a special panel of ex-
perts will provide “A Look Ahead” into technologies and developments that will impact UAS
Mapping. Technical presenters include Mike Tully of Aerial Services, Inc., Dr. Bernd Lutz
of Multirotor Service Drone, Baptiste Tripard of SenseFly, Wolfgang Juchmann of Velodyne,
Antoine Martin of Pix4D, Keith Fieldhouse of Kitware, Tom Breen of Headwall-Photonics,
Jeremy Eastwood of Drone Deploy, to name a few.
Visionaries such as Jonathan Evans of Skyward, Keven Gambold of Unmanned Experts,
Colin Snow of Drone Analyst, Stewart Baillie of Unmanned Systems Canada, and Don Wei-
gel of Airware round out the technical program providing a vision of our UAS future in keep-
ing with the symposium theme of “Change is in the Air”. The speakers listed are a subset of
the full list of UAS industry leaders that are part of the technical program. The full list of
speaker’s biographies and presentation abstracts is currently incomplete but will be avail-
able soon on the symposium website at
