Abstract
This paper describes river-bank management method using a Mobile Mapping System (MMS) and a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). As the class A river-bank's traditional management method is differential leveling at management cross section, it is difficult to obtain continuous longitudinal profile or arbitrary cross section. Proposed method using the MMS and the UAV can acquire continuous 3D shapes of the river-bank. In this paper, MMS and small UAV is introduced, and the comparison between traditional measurement result and the MMS measurement result and the small UAV measurement result is introduced. The field test in Edogawa river-bank proves the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.
