RESARCH ON EFFICIENT AND ADVANCED DAM INSPECTION USING UAV AUTONOMOUS FLIGHT AND IMAGE TAKEN WITH UAV

Abstract

For efficient dam body surface inspection, we propose the UAV autonomous navigation in a non-GNSS environment using a total station, the accuracy improvement method of photogrammetry technology using images with geotag by autonomous navigation, and the aging detection of the dam body surface using the CycleGAN.

In addition, we implement a field study to demonstrate this proposed method, and show its usefulness.
