UAV SURVEYS
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboardIt is commonly known as a drone and referred to as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)It can also be autonomous i.e. with no ground-based pilot, just following a pre-defined flight path.

defined flight path.
Multi-rotor wing droneFixed-wing drone
TYPES OF UAV
Long-Range Fixed Wing - heavy payload, ground pilot - frequently weaponized – military
Short-Range Fixed Wing - can carry camera payload but much shorter distances
Short-Range Multi Rotor - mini helicopters carrying cameras.

Short-Range Multi Rotor - mini helicopters carrying cameras.
BENEFITS OF UAVs
Quick Turnaround� Quick to deploy� Semi-automated processing of
results� Easy publishing of results� Photogrammetric outputs
Safe� Lightweight units - little risk to humans� Battery operated - no risk of
explosions/fuel fires� Autonomous - can ‘fly home’ if contact
lost� Will land safely if error detected� Can fly over inaccessible areas
Copyright of RSK
Short-Range Solutions� 1 Hour Flying Time� Approx. 2 km2 area surveyed
per flight� 5cm to 1m ground resolution� 20cm Ground Accuracies with
control� 2m Accuracy without control
� Can fly over inaccessible areas� Unexploded munitions� Environmentally sensitive sites� Inaccessible sites - Oil Lakes
BENEFITS OF UAVs
Cheap equipment� Can have multiple units� Can replace parts cheaply� Simple to operate� Low cost of training� Can train non-specialist users (engineers)

SENSORS AND OUTPUTS
• GPS - For location of camera• INU - For attitude information• Camera - For multiple overlapping imagery• Near Infra Red - For vegetation surveys• LIDAR - Just becoming available• Hyperspectral - Almost there

Today:OrthophotographyDigital Surface Models
Soon:LIDAR Point CloudsDigital Terrain Models
DISADVANTAGES
� Not as accurate as Ground Survey� Cannot provide cost-effective coverage of larger areas� Fixed wing is still the best way to survey large areas� Cannot support heavy sensors� High accuracy GPS/INU, LIDAR, etc

PERMISSIONS NEEDED FOR UAVs
� Europe and USA beginning to get legal framework agreement for commercial use of UAV’s
� Framework still to be established in Iraq
� UAV’s have been used in Middle East with local
