UAV MEASUREMENT IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

Abstract

Traditional landscape measurement methods often lack automation and cost lots of time and manpower, resulting in a low level of digitization in the field of Landscape Architecture. This paper introduces new research and application of UAV measurement in Landscape Architecture and related fields for generating terrain and three-dimensional scenes and landscape correlation analyses. It also forecasts the application of UAVs in other fields that may inspire the practice of Landscape Architecture. The paper suggests that, compared with the traditional satellite measurement and ground engineering surveying, UAVs can quickly obtain two- and three-dimensional data by using airborne sensors with relatively high accuracy, high resolution, and short timeframes, capturing diverse data that supports the research and practice of landscape planning and design and improves the working efficiency. Therefore, this method is highly compatible with the existing research and practice mode. Through fusion and modeling, these multi-source data can help construct basic digital models to assist the analysis, planning, and design of sites. Taken together, this improves the overall level of digitization of the profession of Landscape Architecture.
