The use of modern methods of aerophotography based on UAVs for the project of engineering protection measures against dangerous geological processe

Abstract

With the development and simplification of Earth remote sensing systems, it becomes possible to use these promising methods and technologies in engineering surveys. One of these methods is aerial photography and obtaining digital models of the Earth's surface based on stereophotogrammetry using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The article describes the experience of using this method for the project of engineering protection measures against dangerous geological processes on Paramushir Island (the city of Severo-Kurilsk, the Matrosskaya and Kuzminka rivers), in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (Mount Elbrus) and the Moscow Region (the Letovo village, an artificial hill).
