AN APPLICATION OF AERIAL PHOTOS USING THE UAV FOR MODELING OF ENGINEERING STRUCTURE

Abstract

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveying for engineering applications can be applied to many types of work such as aerial photos mapping etc. The objective of this research is to evaluate the 3D construction models and the specific front images of Khu Tao Temple, Mae Tom Sub-district, Bang Klam District, Songkhla Province by conducting the UAV survey and showing in form of high accuracy 3D model evaluation. The reason for selection the Khu Tao temple because this temple is planned to renovate following its own ancient architecture. By evaluation of accuracy results of the 3D modeling, it showed that the model had high precision technique for reconstruction ancient temple compared to the ordinary distance measuring with the total station telescope. Moreover, the mentioned results were in the criteria of construction engineering.
