Learning with Pix4D
The collaboration between Bolton College, Coptrz, and Pix4D has been overwhelmingly positive. Students have not only gained theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, thanks to the hands-on training provided by these advanced technologies. The courses have been wellreceived, with students particularly enjoying the flying demonstrations and the real-world applications of Pix4D in data processing and 3D imagery creation.
Benefits
Enhanced Learning Experience
The use of Pix4D has enriched the educational experience, allowing students to engage in practical exercises that simulate real-world scenarios.
Skill Development
Students have developed valuable skills in drone operation and data analysis, making them more marketable in the evolving job landscape.
Industry Relevance
The courses, backed by Pix4D's technology, have made students more aware of the digital applications across industries, particularly in construction and engineering.
Job Creation
The introduction of these courses has also led to the creation of new roles and job opportunities, as students are now better prepared for the digital transformation occurring in various sectors.
What Solution Was Used?
Pix4D is a groundbreaking drone mapping software that simplifies the process of creating high-resolution data cubes for advanced spatio-temporal imagery analysis. The software is designed to be user-friendly, allowing students to focus on the application of the data rather than the complexities of the software itself.
