Presentation by: Joshua Wagner
The Southbay Engineers Club is pleased to welcome Joshua Wagner to speak about Unmanned Aerial Vehicles technology. The advent of affordable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has given rise to new methods of obtaining and analyzing data across a broad spectrum of engineering applications. Accurately geo-referenced high-resolution imagery and high density, photogrammetrically derived point clouds lend themselves to developing a holistic approach to evaluating infrastructure and terrain through both qualitative and quantitative means. By conducting repeatable programmed flights over time, UAV-obtained datasets provide a robust method of evaluating asset conditions over time.
Our Presenter:
Joshua Wagner is the Manager of UAV and Remote Sensing Services for Cal Engineering and Geology. He has drawn upon his education and background in geology and GIS to develop and grow successful UAV programs on both the east and west coast. His experiences include the utilization of UAV’s for assessment of vertical rock slope stability and rockfall hazard analysis; inspections of high-voltage transmission lines and communications towers; 3D model development of a deformed high-voltage transmission line tower deformed by land movement; change detection surveys, and more. He has worked alongside and for public agencies and private organizations including major electric utilities, oil and gas midstream divisions, water districts, and more.
