Abstract:

Unmanned aircraft (IHAs) are widely used for different purposes in many applications. However, the benefits are not fully identified due to the integration capabilities of equipment such as digital camera, GPS or laser browsers. The main subject of this study is the evaluation of the performance of integrated IHAs for geographically localized cameras through the production of Digital Surface Model (SYM) at Afyon Kocatepe University Campus. For this purpose, 5 place control points and 12 control points have been marked and studied with RTK. A photogrametric flight plan was subsequently carried out and 274 air photographs were taken from a height of 120 meters with a 80 percent landing rate. After the image processing, a high-resolution SYM with a 50 cm pixels size was produced and the accuracy of the SYM was calculated at 5 cm. As a result of the study, IHA Photogrammetry has shown that map production, research and some other engineering applications can be used together with the advantages of low cost, time savings and minimum field work.
