Abstract

ABSTRACT

In the latest decades, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have witnessed rapid growth and it plays a vital role in different fields of engineering and architecture. This technique can also be applied in land surveying as a device in order to measure the 3D ground coordinates and Earth work. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the accuracy of volume that obtained by using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derived from UAVs images.

In this research, three different flights were performed with DJI phantom 4 pro (25m, 50m, and 100m) with 80% forward and side overlaps at Duhok Dam. Several Ground control points (GCPs) were installed and evenly distributed throughout the study area and their coordinates were determined using GPS-RTK technique for geo-referencing. The data images captured with UAV were processed using Agisoft photoscan Professional software. GPS survey was carried out using Leica viva GS10 base, and GS15 rover for the same place. The volumes acquired by the UAV images including all three flight heights were compared to the volume obtained with GPS survey techniques which considered as a base for comparison. The results showed that the volume calculated with UAV images encountered to the base were compatible with each other with (99. 86%,99. 76% and 99. 74%) for altitudes (25,50, and 100) respectively.
