Trine mapping drone lifts off

December 11, 2024

Hemin Mohammed, Ph.D., assistant professor in Trine University’s Reiners Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, pilots the department’s DJI Matrice 350 RTK drone on Tuesday, Dec. 3, for students in the CE 2001: Surveying Lab. The drone is equipped with state-of-the-art capabilities that include LIDAR (Zenmuse L2) for precise topographic mapping and Photogrammetry (Zenmuse P1) for high-resolution imagery and mapping. Dr. Mohammed said the technologies represent some of the most advanced tools currently used in the surveying and civil engineering industries. Students in the Surveying Lab recently used the drone to create a contour map of the university’s soccer field and its surrounding areas, providing them with hands-on experience in geospatial data collection and analysis. Dr. Mohammed said working with the drone develops student skills in drone operation and mission planning, collecting and processing data using LIDAR and photogrammetry, and using geospatial tools and integrating data into industry-standard software.
