• This paper aims to demonstrate the potential use of
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system attached with
calibrated high resolution digital camera for environmental
survey based on a test field.
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system has many advantages
in various mapping applications in recent years especially in
surveying.

• Low-altitude systems have advantages in conducting
photogrammetric surveys under the cloud, providing different
views and tilted images of the surveyed objects, low-cost and
easy-to-maintain for engineering applications systems such as
topographic either large or small scale mapping.

Conclusion
• Digital camera calibration is essential to achieve accurate
measurement task.
• For non-metric digital camera, the internal geometry
camera is not stable, hence, need calibration for the
recovery of the parameters of the digital camera.
• Camera parameters usually comprised of :
– focal length (c),
– principal point offset (xp, yp)
– radial lens distortion (k1, k2, k3)
– tangential lens distortion (p1, p2).

• Previously, aerial photogrammetry using manned aircraft
has some limitation such as need professional pilot
onboard, cannot fly at cloudy day, high cost and large
film need to be scanned before it can be processed using
photogrammetric software.
• This study proves that the light weight rotary-wing UAV
was successfully used for capturing the digital aerial
images of simulated coastal and archeological models for
large scale mapping.
• UAV is an autonomous flight without pilot onboard,
suitable for cover small area, limited time and budget.
• Fixed wing UAV will be used to acquire digital aerial image
of real site for coastal area that suffers erosion. It will also
be used for real archeological site such as in Lembah
Bujang, Kedah or some other archeological sites.
• The rotary wing UAV will also be used for the real site
wherever possible for acquisition of digital aerial images.
