A study on generation of 3D model and mesh image of excavation work using UAV

Abstract

Recently, advanced and semi-automated equipment is used for earthwork project. For automated and intelligent earthwork management, surveying method needs to be improved and updated to acquire and store on-site information. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) was considered as an important technology and using UAVs in various areas are prominent area in recent times. Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerial movable image sensing platform, have become the area that has been becoming notable in all industries. Miniature UAVs can measure the imagery taken form aerial and detect environment data. This study aims to determine the optimal algorithm based on meshed surface from arbitrary imagery acquired by UAVs and generate 3D model for analyzing and getting earthwork on site. Study results are aimed to generate ground control data based on imagery information in earthwork project.
