Sergio Bernardes, PhD, Center for Geospatial Research, University of Georgia
Sergio Bernardes is the Associate Director for the Center for Geospatial Research and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Georgia. He holds a PhD in Geography, a MS in Remote Sensing and a BS in Agriculture Engineering. Since 1989, Dr. Bernardes has worked at the forefront of geospatial applications and software development, with expertise spanning geography, software engineering, and the implementation of large-scale geospatial projects for government, industry, and academia. An FAA-certified remote pilot, he has been pioneering the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for remote sensing since 2013. He contributes to digital humanities and cultural heritage preservation through digital documentation, 3D reconstruction, and visualization of sites and objects of historical significance.
Course Description
Course Description
Discover how cutting-edge technologies including drones, photogrammetry, and remote sensing are revolutionizing historical preservation in this two-hour seminar. In the first hour, you’ll learn about the principles of photogrammetry, common workflows for 3D reconstruction, and explore case studies showcasing how these techniques are used to create detailed digital twins of artifacts and historic sites. The second hour provides a hands-on demonstration where attendees will follow and learn the step-by-step process of building 3D models, from image organization to dense point cloud generation, mesh creation, and exporting final models. Whether you're a preservationist, archaeologist, or technology enthusiast, this seminar offers both foundational knowledge and practical skills to document and visualize history.
