Creation of a three-dimensional model of a landscape of the left bank of the Akhangaran reservoir using a phontom 4 pro quadrocopter

Abstract

The purpose of the work under study is to create a three-dimensional model of a landslide on a dangerous section of the left bank of the Akhangaran reservoir, which is located in the Angren district, Tashkent region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, using unmanned aerial photography. In order to display the landslide area in as much detail and accuracy as possible, aerial photography was carried out by a Phontom4 pro multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (Chinese company DJI) with a 4K camera and an object tracking function. camera DSC-RX1R with a focal length of 35 mm over an area of 162 hectares. Four 1:500 scale aerials were completed on site, with a longitudinal overlap of 70% and a transverse overlap of 50%. Aerial photography was carried out at an altitude of 70 meters. The total number of aerial photographs was 936. The length of all air routes was 122.7 km. The article examines in great detail the functions of the quadcopter, the uniqueness of its camera, which is capable of shooting video in 4K format (4096 by 2160 pixels) at a speed of 60 frames/sec, as well as taking 14 photos per second in burst mode, and at the same time broadcasting video picture to a synchronized tablet or phone. For the first time in a DJI camera of this size, a mechanical shutter is used, which allows you to shoot dynamic scenes without the “jelly effect”, and it is also noted that an improved battery with a capacity of 5350 mAh increased the drone’s flight time to almost 30 minutes. The paper notes the purpose of the Agisoft Metashape software, in which aerial photography materials were processed, and also describes the technology for creating a 3D model for the landslide section of the left bank of the Akhangaran reservoir.
