Identification of Geological and Engineering Conditions for Forging the Bed of a Large Lowland River, Based on Low-Ceiling <i>Ad Hoc</i> Aerial Photographs

Abstract The article outlines the possibilities for assessing geological conditions related to fording beds of large lowland rivers, based on low-ceiling ad hoc aerial photos, and current state art utilization remote-sensing methods in engineering studies. conducted research provided a confirmation that set sensors installed onboard an vehicle enables recording images, analysis which allows determining riverbed zones, extent adequate make decisions crossing them.
