Abstract

The article presents the possibility of using unmanned aerial vehicle to perform selected photogrammetric studies. The first part shows the mathematical basis of aerotriangulation based on a series of images. Next, a photogrammetric system consisting of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a camera and specialized software for recording and processing images was presented. The main part shows the stages of the photogrammetric processing from the images i.e. mission plan of the incursion, creation of a thick cloud of points and a three-dimensional model. It also shows the analysis of the quality of the developed orthophotomap and a numerical model of the surface area, including photopoints by comparing them to orthographic images that are shared on Google. The final part contains generalized conclusions derived from the conducted research.
