Abstract
UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are generally classified into fixed-wing and rotary-wing type, and both have very different flight characteristics each other during photographing. These can greatly effect on the quality of images and their productions. In this paper, the change of the camera rotation angle at the moment of photographing was compared and analyzed by calculating orientation angles of each image taken by both types of payload. Study materials were acquired at an altitude of 130m and 260m with fixed-wing, and at an altitude of 130m with rotary-wing UAV over an agricultural land. In addition, an accuracy comparison of boundary surveying methods between UAV photogrammetry and terrestrial cadastral surveying was conducted in two parcels of the study area. The study results are summarized as follows. The differences at rotation angles of images acquired with between two types of UAVs at the same flight height of 130m were significantly very large. On the other hand, the distance errors of parcel boundary surveying were not significant between them, but almost the same, about within ${\pm}0.075m$ in RMSE (Root Mean Square Error). The accuracy of boundary surveying with a fixed-wing UAV at 260m altitude was quite variable, $0.099{\sim}0.136m$ in RMSE. In addition, the error of area extracted from UAV-orthoimages was less than 0.2% compared with the results of the cadastral survey in the same two parcels used for the boundary surveying, In conclusion, UAV photogrammetry can be highly utilized in the field of cadastral surveying.
