Revolutionary Flying Sensor Training
April 5, 2024
HiView, in collaboration with its partner FutureWater, conducted a two-day workshop at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, which works in association with UNESCO. The workshop was part of the master’s degree program, with seven students receiving education on the theory of flying sensors (commonly known as drones), their various applications, and their utilization in agriculture, matching the number of attendees from the previous year.

In March 2024 HiView has executed flights over 60 ha at the Hulshorsterzand, an area that is famous for its shifting sands. It is situated on the western side of the Veluwe, a vast forest region in the Netherlands. HiView has monitored this area 3 times before: in 2016, 2020 and 2022, thus providing a time series that delivers a worthful image set for the assigner Monumentenzorg, a Dutch nature conservation organization.

This training program stood apart from others due to its unique collaboration with FutureWater for the acquisition of the cutting-edge Rapid Eye XS drone systems. The Rapid Eye XS, a lightweight (< 250g) and cost-effective drone developed by HiView, is specifically designed for swift monitoring operations on a small scale.
