The use of unmanned aircraft in aerial photography in engineering geodesy

Abstract EN

In recent years developed a completely new method for recording and surveying the earth surface in order to explore the land and buildings.

By using unmanned aircraft, it is possible to survey a large area in a very short period of time with a high accuracy.

This method represents the Surveying future in geodesy and its areas.

This paper describes the method of recording unmanned aircraft SenseFly Ebee as a way of getting a surveying network point clouds, a digital terrain models and a digital orthophoto plane, by implementing standards of NSSD for evaluation of spatial data.

It was concluded the accuracy of the results depends on the resolution of the recording, the configuration of the terrain relief and the weather conditions.
