IEEE Photogrammetric Technical Standard for Civil Light and Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Overhead Transmission Line Engineering

With the popular application of civil light and small unmanned aircraft systems in engineering surveying, UAS photogrammetry is increasingly used for the production of mapping results for overhead transmission line engineering. In order to unify the requirements and confirm that the mapping results meet the engineering surveying requirements of overhead transmission lines. The technical requirements for civil light and small UAS photogrammetry for overhead transmission line engineering, UAS photography, control survey and annotation, aerial data processing and 3D digital mapping is specified in this standard. The key technical indicators of each link of office work and field work in respect of light and small UAS photogrammetry for overhead transmission line engineering, and a unified criteria for UAS application in overhead transmission line engineering are also defined and provided in this standard.
