The article discusses the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in solving engineering tasks. Information about the current state of the market of unmanned aerial vehicles and services with their use is provided. The most frequently used unmanned aerial vehicles and their characteristics are considered. Modern methods of obtaining and principles of processing images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles and trends towards further development of the aerial photography process are described. The results are presented: modeling the influence of angular elements of external orientation on the accuracy of the obtained spatial coordinates of terrain points; studies of determining the volume of soil and creating a three-dimensional model of an engineering object (building) based on aerial photography obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle multicopter. The accuracy of determining the volume of soil was controlled using a digital terrain model obtained using a total station. Control of the accuracy of building a three-dimensional model of an engineering object was performed by comparing the distances between the points of the object obtained from the three-dimensional model and the total station measurements. As follows from the results of the article, an unmanned aerial vehicle can be an effective tool for solving some engineering problems. The results obtained are comparable to the accuracy of classical methods, provided that the correct choice of the type of unmanned aerial vehicle and the correct approach to processing obtained images.

Despite the variety of flight task preparation programs represented in the market and introduction of new standards of technical requirements in topographic aerial photography, the design issues of the latter are not worked out in detail; the criteria of pixel size selection on the ground are not defined. The necessity of considering all the input data i.e. customer requirements to the outcome product, characteristics of the used technical means of flight support, navigation and photographic equipment, the impact of external factors of the photographic environment was noted in the paper. Within the framework of the unified methodical approach to the choice of the pixel size in the design, the use of theoretical and physical similarity criteria is proposed. The method provides analyzing aerial photography’s all external and internal factors complex interaction and consideration of their affecting the result. Physical criteria, i.e. stability of flight, image quality of images, and depth of depicted high-altitude objects sharpness are considered in detail. The theoretical justification of determining the similarity coefficients is given. It analyzes the changes in coefficients depending on focal length, camera exposure parameters, etc. The method of taking into account physical factors and estimation of design accuracy is presented. The software implementation of the method is described. The practical example of multi-factor data analysis for selection of pixel size for designing large-scale aerial photography of built-up area is considered. The relevance of determining the coefficients directly in the course of aerial survey is shown.
