Module 4 – Drone Case Study Name: Agricultural Field Location: Orwell, PEI Areas of concern: This field had erosion issues in the past and the farmer wanted to fix them by installing soil conservation structures. This drone survey imagery will assess how these soil conservation structures have performed after six years. Stats (area, land use, human resources, budget, photos, maps, etc.): Area: approximately 20 hectares Land use: farmland In this case study, a drone has been identified as the most appropriate technology for collecting the relevant data. Follow these steps to complete the case study: 1. Review the information provided. 2. Answer the questions and complete the project requirements table in this document. 3. Once you have completed the case study independently, watch the video (in SAM) to self-check your responses. Be sure to make note of the correct answers, as these will help you when you complete your final project. 4. Watch the case study demonstration video (in SAM), which walks through the steps using drone technology. This video demonstration will help inform your data-based decisions for your final project. 5. Use the Learner Workbook to take note of your learning and reflections. Be sure to reference these notes when you complete your final project.
Module 4 – Drone Case Study Resolution & Accuracy – Do you need high resolution imagery? Do you require accurately georeferenced data? Coverage Area – How large is the area you are looking to cover? Budget & Financial – What financial constraints are in place? Timing of Data – Do you require up to date information or is previously collected data suitable? Data Sources & Storage – Where will you source the data? Do you need to collect it yourself? Outputs Required – What outputs are required to achieve your goals? (e.g ., Orthomosaic, digital surface model, slope map, measurement, etc.) Analysis Software – What software will be required to work with your data? Additional Considerations- Is there anything else you will need to consider? (e.g. , environment, weather, IT, human resources, etc.) Project Requirements Case study questions: 1. Why was a drone selected for this project? 2. How and where would you source or collect the required data? 3. How would you use appropriate software to generate your required outputs from the data you source? 4. What will the outputs tell you about the effectiveness of soil conservation efforts against erosion in this field?
