Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for constructing an optimized digital twin by using a drone, which can reduce time and cost required for data-based twin construction and facilitates maintenance by improving data collection technology, and more specifically, to a method for constructing an optimized digital twin by using a drone, which: enables data collection even in environments of twin targets that are difficult to access, such as relatively large areas (cities or lands) or exteriors of high-rise buildings, compared to conventional twin construction methods, by collecting aerial photographs and 3D model data using a drone camera; ensures continuous data management through periodic drone capturing and library updates; enables data collection without installing a separate data collection device, thereby reducing initial costs and lowering maintenance costs relatively; uses, as a data collection means, a drone capable of moving freely and collecting data even in a dynamic environment; and can provide flexibility in twin construction by enabling arbitrary adjustment of accuracy depending on camera resolution and flight paths.
