Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Advisor, SimActive with guest speaker, Krishn Pethani Chief Technical Officer with Nektor Engineers and Project Consultants (NEPC).

Small to mid-sized mapping projects over terrain with little to no variation are easily tackled by drone operators. What happens when the project becomes much larger and is over hilly terrain? These types of missions can scare off even the most experienced drone operators. NEPC is often mapping in the most challenging locations such as the Himalayas.

Krishn Pethani, Chief Technical Officer with NEPC, joins our host Eric Andelin to discuss how difficult mapping projects create unique challenges.

Specifically, listeners will learn about the following:

• Choosing the right drone for a project
• Considerations in planning missions over hilly terrains
• Flying drones in difficult environments     
• Managing challenges with processing large datasets
