Production of current maps with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and terrestrial measurement method and examination of accuracy analysis: Example of Batman province, Şirinevler distrct, urban transformation

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are vehicles that lack a pilot or passenger, carry only equipment appropriate to the intended purpose (e.g. a video camera, camera, GNSS, laser scanning device, etc.), and have the capacity to fly either remotely or automatically. Data acquisition, which in the past required time and cost, can now be done more easily, quickly and practically with the development of technology. As in many fields, data collection is an important process in engineering studies. In this context, UAVs provide low-cost, fast and high-precision data. Geometric accuracy and precision in current maps used in applications related to geomatics activities are very important. In this study, Şirinevler District, urban transformation zone, located in Batman Province, was selected as the study area. Data such as high-resolution current map of the study area, digital elevation model, and point cloud were produced in Pix4D software. In addition, the current map production process was carried out in Leica Photogrammetry Suite ve Microstation Pro600 software. Thus, in the study area, current maps were produced using both UAV and terrestrial measurement techniques, accuracy research was carried out, and the advantages of both methods and the resulting accuracy were compared. As a result, it has been seen that the use of UAV provides sufficient accuracy in the production of current maps in accordance with the regulation (BÖHHBÜY) and provides advantages in terms of time and cost.
