Session
Remote regions of the Pilbara, WA often lack access to high-resolution imagery land coverage. This talk presents an open-source workflow using DJI RTK drones, WebODM and QGIS, expanding access to high-resolution imagery in remote regions by enabling land managers to generate centimetre-level spatial datasets on demand.
