Applications of UAV-Based Topographical Mapping in Various Industries

EasyChair Preprint 15159

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized topographical mapping across various industries, offering unprecedented efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. This paper explores the diverse applications of UAV-based topographical mapping, highlighting its impact on sectors such as agriculture, construction, environmental monitoring, and disaster management. In agriculture, UAVs facilitate precision farming through detailed terrain analysis, enabling optimized resource allocation and crop management. The construction industry benefits from aerial surveys that enhance project planning and progress monitoring, reducing time delays and labor costs. Environmental monitoring applications utilize UAVs for habitat assessment and ecological studies, providing critical data for conservation efforts. Furthermore, in disaster management, UAVs assist in rapid damage assessment and recovery planning, improving response times during emergencies. The integration of advanced imaging technologies, such as LiDAR and multispectral sensors, further enhances the capabilities of UAVs, enabling high-resolution data capture and analysis. This paper discusses the technological advancements driving UAV adoption, the methodologies employed in topographical mapping, and the potential future trends, emphasizing the transformative role of UAVs in shaping industry practices and decision-making processes.
