Mapping with unmanned aerial vehicles systems: A case study of Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli University Campus

Abstract

Today, remote sensing techniques are one of the most frequently used working methods in planning and design studies. Especially thanks to the data produced by photogrammetry with the help of UAV, it is frequently used in commercial and academic periods. Especially thanks to the advantages such as speed, cost, and accuracy provided by UAV, highresolution data of smaller areas can be obtained. Thanks to these data, orthophoto images and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data of the land can be produced. The Orthophoto and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) contributes to the creation of many digital bases as it transfers the land to the spatial environment. In this study, aerial photographs of Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli University Damat İbrahim Pasha Campus were taken with UAV. These photographs produced orthophoto and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) images with a spatial resolution of 2.31 cm using 3D Survey software. The mesh model created after processing the products obtained from the UAV of the campus area was published on the internet address (https://cbs-uzam.nevsehir.edu.tr/tr/projeler).
