Abstract:
The aerial photographs for planning development used to Urban Planning department and
related fi elds. Generally, this data was using the satellite imagery from the Geo-Informatics
and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization) and the aerial
photographs from the Royal Thai Survey Department. While the procedures and overhead
costs to get information. In present, the information technology is continuing development.
There is easy access to the Internet. Especially, the use of satellite imagery from the
Google Earth program. However, the aerial imagery data not updating and covering
all areas. At the same time, technological development has an invention for aerial
photographs collection, such as small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV). This device
installed with cameras and record geographic position coordinates (GPS) into digital
aerial photos. That control system from the remote control, computer or application on the
smartphone.
This article compares the data obtained from aerial photographs processing from
sUAV technology with satellite imagery by Google Earth and 3D data from 3D Laser
Scanner. The result from using sUAV technique provide current aerial photographs,
high-resolution and fl exible use of data collection.
