ANALYSIS OF THE UTILITY OF THE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE(UAV) IN VOLUME CALCULATION BY USING PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUES

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Together with developments in software technology, various interpolation methods allow terrainsurfaces to be better identified. The accuracy rate in volume calculations is directly proportional with representation inthe best form. The non-metric cameras, which are assembled to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), provide conveniencein the photogrammetric measurements. Sensitive images are obtained with less cost by the use of unmanned aerialvehicles.The purpose of this study was to take photos from the air with the help of UAVs and to make volume calculations byusing photogrammetric techniques. At the end of the study, the photogrammetric method had been completed in a shorterperiod than with the traditional method. The values found as the result of both methods have been found to be compatiblewith each other in the ratio of 99.33% in terms of sensitivity.
