Education and Community Outreach
Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Labs
University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
SDAV offers workshops and demonstrations to
engage the next generation of scientists and advance
the public understanding and appreciation of science.
Geospatial technology is quickly advancing and is
advantageous for the future of conservation biology.
By engaging the youth, students, professionals in the
conservation field, and community, we can use these
tools to effectively and efficiently make better
management decisions.
sUAS Demonstration for the UHH Field Methods and Techniques Class
Students in the UH Hilo Field Methods class learn methods
that are used to collect, graphically represent, and interpret
geographical field data. This course provides hands-on
education using a variety of technology such as GPS units,
terristrial LiDAR and sUAS to collect data and associated
software to interpret information collected such as ArcGIS,
Pix4D, Global Mapper, CloudCompare, and ENVI.
Summer sUAS Workshop for Remote Sensing and Resource Management
This three day workshop covers the essential knowledge an organization
needs to know to safely and legally integrate sUAS operations into their daily
work objectives. This introductory workshop consists of a series of live
demonstrations, hands-on sUAS simulations, the right fixed wing or copter
platform, writing and applying for a FAA Certification of Authorization
application (COA), videography vs mapping, creating high resolution
orthorectified imagery, using Structure from Motion technology to create 3D
digital models, and change detection applications.
