Comparative Study on Executing Topographic Plans Using UAVs
Author(s): Paunescu C*, Marinescu CM and Paunescu V
The present paper aims to carry out a comparative study on how the digital model can be obtained using the images taken with a camera mounted on a UAV, in two cases: The case where there are control points determined on the ground. The case where there are no control points determined on the ground. To verify the consistency of the digital model, field verification points were determined using GNSS receivers. Basically, on the same area of interest were carried out GNSS RTK measurements and two flights with two different types of UAVs: SenseFlyeBee X and DroneZone XF8-CT. The flight was carried out at the same height and with medium resolution cameras (Sony A7R 35 mm 36 Mpix and SenseFlyAeria X 24 MPix).The GNSS receivers were different. Thus, for the DroneZone XF8CT a GNSS receiver of the u-Blox NEO8M type was used and for SenseFlyeBee X a GNSS RTK receiver of the TRIMBLE BD 93 type .. View more»
