An Innovative Virtual Simulation Teaching Platform on Digital Mapping with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Sensing Education

Abstract

This work mainly discusses an innovative teaching platform on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle digital mapping for Remote Sensing (RS) education at Wuhan University, underlining the fast development of RS technology. Firstly, we introduce and discuss the future development of the Virtual Simulation Experiment Teaching Platform for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VSETP-UAV). It includes specific topics such as the Systems and function Design, teaching and learning strategies, and experimental methods. This study shows that VSETP-UAV expands the usual content and training methods related to RS education, and creates a good synergy between teaching and research. The results also show that the VSETP-UAV platform is of high teaching quality producing excellent engineers, with high international standards and innovative skills in the RS field. In particular, it develops students' practical skills with technical manipulations of dedicated hardware and software equipment (e.g., UAV) in order to assimilate quickly this particular topic. Therefore, students report that this platform is more accessible from an educational point-of-view than theoretical programs, with a quick way of learning basic concepts of RS. Finally, the proposed VSETP-UAV platform achieves a high social influence, expanding the practical content and training methods of UAV based experiments, and providing a platform for producing high-quality national talents with internationally recognized topics related to emerging engineering education.

Examining the Influence of Using First-Person View Drones as Auxiliary Devices in Matte Painting Courses on College Students’ Continuous Learning Intention

“…A student-centered experimental teaching philosophy is imperative. The teaching experiment evaluation system can be continuously improved through the use of advanced and reliable experimental research and development technology and a stable and safe open operating mode ( He et al 2019 ). Through the application of HCI, students will be able to use FPV drones to experience the natural environment more intuitively, and then begin to get familiar with the overall workflow of matte painting, which in turn will enhance student comprehension of matte painting courses.…”

Construction of Teaching Mode of Film and TV Art in Institution of Higher Learning Using Virtual Simulation Technology

“…Virtual experiment teaching can help solve some of the problems that traditional teaching has, as well as promote students' autonomy and inquiry learning. Using virtual simulation technology in art design classes can help students absorb knowledge and content more effectively [ 3 ]. Virtual technology stimulates students' learning enthusiasm and improves learning quality by providing new teaching ideas for virtual teaching.…”

Teaching of Remote Sensing Technology for Landscape Architecture in the Context of Spatial Information Technology

“…With the continuous improvement of spatial information analysis technology, highresolution RS images, which are rich in geometric features and texture information, expand the scope and depth of landscape survey. Currently, spatial information analysis technologies like eCognition can comprehensively interpret landscape images based on the spectrum, texture, spatial structure, and geometry, providing an effective solution to the following traditional problems: it is inefficient and inaccurate to interpret the high-resolution landscape images containing multi-source data [19]. As a result, objectoriented information extraction techniques have created the main application path for the landscape architecture industry (see Table 1).…”
