Abstract:

Geospatial data, both 2D and 3D data play a key role in determining and realizing the infrastructure of an anthropic area. The land topography can be obtained from a Digital Terrain Model and/or the Digital Surface Model. Other types of accurate data are the plans that include objects, such as the topographic-cadastral map of the area. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) allow products to be obtained in a much shorter time, with low costs, without risks to the human factor compared to those obtained on the basis of digital images resulting from performing conventional flights (with pilot) or through traditional techniques. However, the precision of UAS products depends on many factors. This project aims to find the suitable parameters for UAS image acquisition in terms of equipment, sensor integration, flight parameters in order to obtain high accuracy of UAS reconstruction projects. Different UAS equipment, low-cost and high-cost, will be tested in different flight configuration and a new method for measuring topographical details on ground which are not visible on images is proposed. This project is based on recent technologies that, in order bring value to the current workflow in the field of urban photogrammetry and cadastre, need to be evaluated and adequately integrated in an efficient process that can be applied by stakeholders like national agencies, private companies that are involving on a daily basis the geospatial data and infrastructure.

Abstract:

Because of the many advantages and technological developments in recent years, UAV systems are used by the economic agent in preparing projects with high precision demand namely 3D models creation of national interest objectives (hydraulic structures, dams, reservoirs, historical monuments etc.) and monitoring them. These unmanned systems are usually equipped with an automatic pilot device and a digital camera (photo/video, multispectral, Near Infrared etc.) whose lens has distortions, but which can be determined after the calibration process. Currently, for the calibration of the digital cameras mounted on UAVs, the method of "Self-calibration" is used, but, as demonstrated in the literature, using the method of calibration based on a 3D calibration object, the accuracy is improved by about 50% in comparison with other methods. Also, the products (point clouds, 3D models, orthophotos etc.) precision obtained by processing the UAV images depends on several factors, such as flight parameters, the camera type etc. For this reason, the agent requires camera testing to control the products quality obtained from digital images in different situations of taking the images. Thus, this project aims to establish a field calibration and a testing field for the digital cameras mounted on UAVs in terms of accuracy. The content is informative and practical enough to enable effective testing and calibration of digital cameras installed on UAV systems, to transform them into a safe and precise measurement tools as the traditional one (total stations or terrestrial laser scanners). In this context, it is necessary to conduct accurate measurements of the calibration and testing field using UAV systems. We propose a structural approach to address this issue. This is to ensure the practical realisation of the calibration and testing field, but also of algorithms and statistical methods to assess the accuracy of the results obtained based on UAV images.
