AERIAL SURVEYS: GLOBAL REACH


PLANES, HELICOPTERS AND DRONES


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

• 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

� UAV’s have been used in Middle East with local agreements

� Collected Images need to be ‘approved’� BP recently received consent to use UAV’s in
