Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Digital Photogrammetry is an up-to-date area mapping technology. Implemented features are low-cost, mobile and simple. UAV (fixed-wing EPP-FPV) with mounted digital camera (Canon S100) was used for imagery while digital photogrammetry processing (with lisa software application) was applied for cartographic data collection. High imagery quality is a significant factor for the efficiency and quality of standard mapping products, such as Digital Elevation Model and Ortho Images. DEM and Orthophoto quality mainly depends on camera resolution, flight height and accuracy of Ground Control Points (GCP). In experimental investigations, GCP coordinates were gained interactively from the Internet. Application of the appropriate DEM checking technique showed that DEM error was up to 0.5 m.
The fixed-wing EPP-FPV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with mounted digital camera Canon S100 was used as a platform for images acquisition. Up-to-date the application of such means has increased significantly. Implemented features are low-cost, mobile and simple. Digital photogrammetric software Lisa has been used for UAV images processing and area mapping. High correctness of digital terrain model is required for the generating standard mapping products, as is orthophoto map. The quality of mapping products mainly depends on flight height, camera characteristics and ground control point's accuracy. Applying appropriate technique for digital elevation model checking, DEM errors has been determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
