The Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Plant Sciences, and Education (UASPSE) team will host its first in a series of monthly webinars on the analysis of Unmanned Aerial Systems data in January 2018.
https://digitalag.org/events.php?eventname=UnmanningData
The webinar series will feature speakers from academia and industry to discuss and introduce participants to UAS data analysis software and algorithms, metadata standards, and best practices, with a goal of harmonizing UAS data access, reproducibility and reuse across institutions and industry.
Kickoff Webinar: January 22nd, 1-2pm CST

Developing an Open UAS Repository
Travis Desell, Associate Professor of Computer Science
In conjunction with feedback from participants in the NSF BDSPOKES Unmanned Aerial Systems, Plant Sciences and Education, Dr. Desell has been developing an web based repository for securely and quickly viewing large scale imagery gathered from unmanned aerial systems. The system also allows for the easy markup of imagery and sharing mosaics with your team. Feedback on the system is welcome so that it can become a valuable tool for the digital agriculture community.
Data Driven Autonomous Systems and Controls
Prakash Ranganathan, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
In this presentation, Dr. Ranganathan will discuss challenges on the nexus of control, data, and processes for next-generation autonomous systems. The talk will focus on emerging areas such as UAS swarm technologies, and UAS cyber-security challenges. Dr. Ranganathan will share his recent project results on heat-loss quantification from thermal imagery data sets obtained from UAS. If time permits, Dr. Ranganathan will discuss the role of data-driven technologies in smart grid applications.
The Unmanning Data Mondays webinar series is funded through NSF Award #1636865 and run by the NSF BDSPOKES Project - Unmanned Aerial Systems, Plant Sciences and Education (UASPSE) team, with members from the University of North Dakota, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa State University and Kansas State University.
