NDT Webinar | Real-Time Drone Mapping: Achievements and Challenges Towards Autonomous Solutions, 7 May 2025

Acquisition and data processing have been considered two distinct phases in remote sensing for decades. Drone mapping has been no exception, with most solutions on the market not providing (near) real-time data processing in their workflow. However, the introduction of more efficient techniques, often leveraging deep learning architectures, as well as significant hardware development in recent years, is changing this paradigm and paving the way for new applications across various fields.

In this webinar, Prof. Dr. Francesco Nex will present an overview of the achievements in 3D real-time drone mapping and explore the existing challenges that researchers must address in developing more autonomous and efficient solutions. The role of AI-based techniques in this process will also be emphasized.
