Abstract

Sayısal Arazi Modelleri (SAM) birçok mühendislik projesinde temel veri olarak kullanılmaktadır. SAM’ların üretiminde klasik yersel tekniklerin yanı sıra yaygın olarak uzay ve uydu teknikleri ile İnsansız Hava Araçları (İHA'lar) kullanılmaktadır. SAM’ın İHA'lar yardımıyla üretilmesinde insanların ulaşmasının zor olduğu yerlerde kolaylıkla ölçümler yapılabilmekte ve geniş alanların haritaları kısa sürede üretilebilmektedir. Ancak İHA'larda en temel sorunlardan biri homojen yayılmış yer kontrol noktaları (YKN) sayısını seçerek en doğru SAM’ı elde etmektir. Bu çalışmada, SAM üretiminde uçuş yüksekliği ve YKN yoğunluğunun konum doğruluğuna etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla test alanında yaklaşık 40 m aralıklarla 56 nokta tesis edilmiş ve 80, 100, 120 m uçuş yüksekliğinden görüntüler alınmıştır. Noktaların koordinatlarının yüksek doğrulukla elde edilmesi için hızlı statik Küresel Navigasyon Uydu Sistemleri (GNSS) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra homojen olarak yayılan 5, 10 ve 15 nokta sırasıyla YKN olarak seçilmiştir. Görüntüler Pix4d Mapper programında 9 farklı kombinasyonla değerlendirilerek SAM’lar üretilmiştir. Modellerden elde edilen koordinatlardan uyuşumsuz ölçüler Bland-Altman yöntemi ile belirlenerek ölçü grubundan çıkartılmıştır. Üretilen modellerin geometrik doğruluğunun belirlenmesi amacıyla modellerden elde edilen test noktalarının koordinatları ve hızlı statik GNSS ölçüm sonuçları istatistiksel yöntemlerle karşılaştırılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar yorumlanmıştır.

Investigation of Position Accuracy in UAVs

Abstract

Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) are used as primary data in many engineering projects. In addition to classical terrestrial techniques, space and satellite techniques and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are commonly used in the production of the DTMs. In the production of the DTM with the help of the UAVs, measurements can be made easily where people can access hardly, and large areas can be mapped quickly. However, one of the most fundamental problems in the UAVs is to obtain the most accurate DTM by choosing the homogeneously spread ground control points (GCPs) number. In this study, the effect of flight altitude and the density of GCPs on position accuracy were investigated in production of the DTM. For this purpose, 56 points were established at approximately 40 m intervals and images from 80, 100, 120 m flight altitude were taken in the test area. The rapid static Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) method was used to obtain the coordinates of the points with high accuracy. Then, the homogeneously spread 5, 10, and 15 points were chosen as GCPs, respectively. The images were evaluated in Pix4d Mapper software with 9 different combinations and DTMs were produced. Outliers of the coordinates obtained from the models were detected by Bland-Altman Plot. To determine the geometric accuracy of the produced models, the coordinates of the test points obtained from the models and the results of rapid static GNSS measurements were compared with the statistical methods and the obtained results were interpreted.
