Assessing UAV Landslide Mapping Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Landslide Mapping Activity

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to improve the landslide mapping using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the area of slope displacement. It further presents the UAV namely multi-motor that being used to capture images at the research area located in Parit, Perak. The objective of this research paper is to develop a three dimensional of landslide area produced from the UAV images. For the whole process of image processing, thirty six control points are established using global positioning system (GPS) staic mehtod using Agisoft Photoscan. The results show that the digital elevation model (DEM), aspect Model, slope model, and digital orthophoto can be obtained using the procedure and method used in the study. The information is obtained through accurate assessment results and used to create a 3D model which is then used to monitor technique applications. The restitution stereo model is also by three dimensional rotations or transformation in 3D surface. From here, the landslide can be detected by calculation of three difference epoch data achieved from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation. Prior to that, this paper focuses on the monitoring of that area based on DEM area and volume generated from 3D surface analysis. To conclude this study shows that UAV can be used for producing digital map.
