Abstract

Applied Photogrammetry using UAS and the World's Most Popular Camera
Track: Imagery
Authors: Jeffrey Miller

Photogrammetry has been introduced to an entirely new audience due to the rising popularity of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). This paper explores “what’s possible?” when a consumer
grade UAS, equipped with an iPhone 5s, is used to acquire aerial imagery in a traditional photogrammetric fashion. Methodologies for flight planning, image processing, and accuracy assessments are covered. ArcGIS procedures, applied to UAS data, were paramount to successful image processing and analysis.
