SUMMARY:Founders Seminar Presents: Dr. Chuiqing Zeng "The applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in water quality study and precision farming"
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies for our bi-weekly Founders Seminar Series.



Our first Founders Seminar of 2017 presents Dr. Chuiqing Zeng and his work: "The applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in water quality study and precision farming."  Dr. Zeng will introduce you with industry-specific unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data acquisition and processing techniques. Specifically, Zeng will provide examples of how UAV technology is being used to estimate water quality in rivers and lakes, and how UAV platforms is employed to assist farmers’ agriculture practice. Apart from the technical presentation, Zeng will also share interesting stories during UAV flights and beautiful scenes of nature - discussing the challenges to UAV applications up in the air.



The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology is rapidly developed in the last decade, with increasing applications in many industries. There are two driving factors that mainly propel UAV applications in Earth observation and Geoscience: the largely improved performance, stability, and accessibility of the consumer-level UAVs, as well as the miniaturization and enhancement of sensors/instruments to be mounted on such UAVs. UAV applications in Geoscience, however, are still largely limited by immature data acquisition approaches and scarce industry-specific data process flows.
