Comparative Evaluation of Mapping Accuracy between UAV Video versus Photo Mosaic for the Scattered Urban Photovoltaic Panel

It is common practice for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight planning to target an entire area surrounding a single rooftop’s photovoltaic panels while investigating solar-powered roofs that account only 1% of the urban roof area. very hard pre-flight route setting autopilot specific (not rooftop) capture still images with high overlapping rates panels. This causes serious unnecessary data redundancy by including because UAV unable focus on panel installed rooftop. The aim this research was examine suitability video stream building 3-D ortho-mosaics focused rooftop and containing azimuth, aspect, tilts position accuracy stream-based ortho-mosaic has been shown be similar autopilot-based ortho-photo satisfying mapping American Society Photogrammetry Remote Sensing (ASPRS): coordinates (0.028 m) in 1:217 scale. anticipated output could used as valuable reference employing widely scattered solar settings.
