High Resolution Low Altitude 2D Map Reconstruction Using UAV

In the contemporary era, with the ready availability of high-resolution and real-time satellite imagery, the field of low-altitude mapping remains an area yet to be resolved. In this study, the aim was set to reconstruct maps utilizing aerial images obtained from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through the utilization of open-source tools. Furthermore, an analysis of the influence of flight altitude and speed was undertaken. Promising results were achieved as maps were successfully generated not only from vertically captured videos but also from overhead videos. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis was conducted to partially elucidate the impact of flight altitude on the quality of the captured images. Through this research, an expansion of mapping techniques was enabled by harnessing the capabilities of UAVs and open-source tools, thereby introducing a new dimension to cartography. The importance of considering flight parameters such as altitude and speed for optimizing map reconstruction from low-altitude sources was underscored by the findings. These outcomes carry significant potential for various applications, including environmental monitoring, disaster management, and urban planning.
