The invention discloses a water-land integrated all-
terrain DEM surveying method and
system based on UAV-USV-GIS, and belongs to the field of
terrain surveying. The method comprises the steps of determining a research area range, planning an unmanned aerial vehicle
route, and laying image control points; performing
aerial survey on the planned
route by using an unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain ground
point cloud data and images, and respectively
processing the ground
point cloud data and images into a land DEM and an orthoimage; the boundaries of the
subsidence water area are extracted through the orthoimages, the measurement
route of the unmanned ship is planned, and
underwater topographic data are measured;
processing the
underwater topographic data, generating a
water area DEM, uniformly selecting inspection points by using RTK and sounding equipment to carry out sampling measurement on the
underwater elevation, and verifying the accuracy of the
water area DEM underwater topographic data; and fusing the land DEM and the water area DEM to generate a complete water-land integrated all-
terrain DEM. The technical bottlenecks that the efficiency is low, the data at the junction of water and land is not accurate, and only the
elevation data of a
single area of the land or the water can be obtained in the
subsidence water area
terrain modeling by a traditional
single measurement means are effectively solved.
