METHOD FOR CREATING A DIGITAL RELIEF MODEL BASED ON UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SHOOTING
The paper considers a method for obtaining a digital elevation model from aerial photographs. The relevance of the proposed methodology for the analysis of various components of the landscape, including plant communities, is indicated. Recommendations are given for conducting survey from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The sequence of work is described and the necessary equipment is given. A technique for obtaining an aerial photograph using an unmanned aerial vehicle and further drawing up an orthophotomap is described. The description of the construction of a digital elevation model is presented. Examples of the use of the methodology for assessing the state of territorial natural complexes of the Volga-Akhtubinskaya floodplain are given.
