Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerial surveying, and is an unmanned aerial surveying system developed for complex geological conditions. Background Art

[0002] UAV aerial survey is a new type of aerial photogrammetry, which is flexible, efficient, precise, low-cost, widely applicable, and short production cycle. Compared with traditional surveying and mapping, it has obvious advantages in the rapid acquisition of surveying and mapping data in large areas, areas with difficult transportation, and complex geological conditions.

[0003] When the existing aerial survey technology is used for surveying and mapping, the drone will be equipped with one or more cameras such as orthophoto, oblique, hyperspectral and multispectral cameras to adapt to various operation scenarios and improve work efficiency; however, there are no obvious characteristic ground points for image control point layout in the survey area with complex geological conditions. In order to obtain high-precision measurement data, it is generally necessary to spray multiple aerial survey marks within the survey area before the drone aerial survey, and use the mark feature points as image control points or check points, and use RTK (Real-time kinemaTIc positioning technology is a real-time dynamic positioning technology based on carrier phase observation values, which can provide real-time three-dimensional positioning results of the survey station in a specified coordinate system and achieve centimeter-level accuracy) operation to collect data for the feature points. However, when manually spraying aerial survey marks and RTK data collection in complex geological conditions with complex terrain and inconvenient transportation, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low work efficiency and certain dangers. In addition, the sprayed aerial survey marks are easily blocked and blurred and difficult to identify. RTK data collection is also affected by human operation errors, resulting in low work efficiency and reduced surveying and mapping accuracy. Summary of the invention
