Development and Evaluation of Land Layout Using Drone Technology

Abstract

The incorporation of drone technology into land plan construction has various advantages, including increased mapping accuracy, decreased time and cost compared to traditional techniques, and the capacity to reach inaccessible or hazardous terrains. Furthermore, high-resolution data enables better decision-making throughout the planning and design phases, resulting in more effective use of land resources and enhanced environmental impact assessments.

The construction and evaluation of land layouts utilizing drone technology offers a big step forward in land management and urban planning. This method takes advantage of the precision, speed, and adaptability of drones to acquire high-resolution aerial pictures and topographical data. The method begins with the deployment of drones equipped with camera to survey the terrain, allowing for the capture of comprehensive geographical data. This information is then analysed using powerful software tools to produce precise Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), orthophotos, and 3D maps.

The evaluation step entails analysing the acquired data to determine the appropriateness of the site for various uses, such as building, agriculture, or conservation. This involves recognising possible difficulties such as erosion, floods, and ecological sensitivity. Drones also allow for continual monitoring of land changes over time, offering crucial insights into long-term land management policies.

Overall, using drone technology to build and evaluate land layouts is a game-changing strategy that improves precision, efficiency, and sustainability in land use planning, opening the way for more informed and effective decision-making processes.

The present study involves collecting various photographs of the area using Edals White hawk drone and tag photos using EMLID software for allocating their respective locations creating a 3D layout and evaluating the land using these annotated photos in AGISOFT software.
