2 TODAY S PROGRAM Introduction to photogrammetry and 3Dsurvey Theoretical facts about the technology and basics of 3dsurvey Introduction to drone mapping Imagery acquisition guidelines Mapping & 3D modelling Ground control points setup Real case presentation, functionalities, hands-on live work with 3Dsurvey Introduction to 3Dsurvey software Processing, modelling and analysis workflow in 3Dsurvey small example: From 2D images to 3D model and orthophoto. General report. Quick tools 3D measurements, profile lines, volume calculation, (single/multiple surfaces), contour lines, classification, drape orthophoto, point picking with codes, Q&A and conclusion

3 Part 107 Cert. & Airspace Authorization and Waivers

4 SKYWARD/LAANC WORKFLOW

5 Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability

6 SOP/Checklist

7 NEW SURVEYING TOOL GPS 3Dsurvey DRONE

8 WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR DRONE PROGRAM Get you to final results: survey map, break-lines, features, feature lines, profiles, volume calculations Uses inexpensive drone check obtainable results Survey grade accuracy 60% - 90% time savings Independent tool for every surveying company Standard procedures

9 BENEFITS of DRONE SURVEYING Fast return on initial investment Huge time savings (up to 90%) Eliminate field re-visits Survey grade accuracy Complete data acquisition Seamless solution

10 KNOWLEDGE SOFTWARE HARDWARE KEY ELEMENTS OF DRONE SURVEYING Drone GPS Mission Planning 3Dsurvey Standard operating procedures Seamless processing workflows

11 HARDWARE - DRONES Multi Rotor Multi Rotor Heavy lift Fixed-wings Easy to use Small Reliable Safe Inexpensive Nadir/oblique imagery Single payload option Any payload Different camera options Custom solution Can be complicated to use Parts can malfunction - servicing Expensive Covers large area Longer flight time Can be complicated to use Most have no No vertical take off No oblique images Expensive Perfect surveying tool More for custom applications Good for large areas (>10 km^2)

12 HARDWARE - SENSORS Integrated cameras Big DSL cameras LIDAR sensor Stable Reliable Easy to use/prepare High Accuracy 8-10 GCP per flight High resolution High Accuracy Low stability Gimbal needs calibration Gimbal can break Heavy weight low flying time No. GCP per flight for survey grade accuracy: 5-8 Terrain under vegetation Moderate accuracy Long flight preparation time Expensive is relative to scope of work No. GCP per flight for survey grade accuracy: 4 Perfect surveying tool No benefit for accuracy More will go wrong Good for large areas

13 SHUTTER TYPE Mechanical shutter All pixels recorded simultaneously Rolling shutter One row recorded at a time Moving causes distortion

19 WHAT IS IMPORTANT RESOLUTION

20 WHAT IS IMPORTANT RESOLUTION

21 WHAT IS IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVES Basic grid flight configuration Expected accuracy range Overlap 70% -80% 10 GCP per Flight Horizontal Accuracy: 1 pixel - 2 pixel Vertical Accuracy: 1 pixel - 3 pixel

22 GEOREFERENCING Determination of Position Rotation and Scale of photogrammetric model Georeferencing with Telemetry information Georeferencing with Ground Control Points

23 GCP GROUND CONTROL POINTS You gain absolute orientation of your reconstructed model using Ground Control Points or GCPs. A good practice is to measure several check points in the field, besides the Ground Control Points. The check points will let you calculate the accuracy of the model using regular surveying calculation methods. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR DRONE SURVEY IS ACCURATE OR NOT? The difficulty is that an accurate orthophotomap, DEM or 3D model very often looks identical to an inaccurate one. If you have good parameters like the terrain profile, drone hardware choice, image overlap, weather conditions, stability and speed of the flight, and GPS conditions, the model should be pretty accurate.

24 ABSOLUTE vs. RELATIVE ACCURACY In photogrammetry, accuracy is always relative to positional accuracy, which is defined as the degree to which the information on the map created from the data captured matches the actual real world. Accuracy, if you cannot define it and deliver it, you would end up offering your clients nothing more than a pretty picture from above. RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE ACCURACY This is where things start to become interesting, as well as more complicated. It is one thing to generate an accurate photogrammetric model, but fitting it accurately to a geodetic coordinate system is a different ball game altogether. Relative accuracy is the measurement of how objects are positioned relative to each other in a reconstructed model (Orthophotomap, Digital Surface Model or 3D point cloud). Absolute accuracy refers to the difference between the location of the objects on the reconstructed model and their true position on the Earth (or a geodetic coordinate system).
