Applied Drone Photogrammetry in Construction****

Learn the foundation of drone photogrammetry and computer vision (e.g. aerial triangulation, image matching, and structure-from-motion)
Practice in-drone flight (e.g. simulator, indoor, and outdoor)
Capture images and process them with VisualSFM, create 3D models with Autodesk ReCap Pro/Photo
Calculate volumes with Civil 3D

Applied Artificial Intelligence in Construction****

Select a project topic for in-depth research and experimentation (e.g. cost and schedule prediction, defect detection on constructed facilities, unsafe behavior detection on jobsites, etc.)
Deliver similar cases and methods based on selected topics
Use the provided examples of Python codes to achieve project objectives
