Lab3-Building Maps With UAS Data
Introduction Why are proper cartographic skills essential in working with UAS data? With UAS data there is always one very important piece to keep in mind, location location location. Where the data was collected, the flight path of the vehicle, and where to represent the collected data are all very crucial components. By having skills in the art of cartography one can clearly represent the data collected by a UAV and compare that data to other data sets. What are the fundamentals of turning either a drawing or an aerial image into a map? The image must contain a scale bar, a north arrow, a reference window, a watermark, and metadata that allows the user to gain more understanding of the map. What can spatial patterns of data tell the reader about UAS data? Provide several examples. By adding spatial patterns the user can gain a greater understanding of the scale of the data being represented. It can be hard to gauge the size of a data
