Abstract
The model of a remote measurement system suitable for use on mobile unmanned aerial platforms is discussed in order to provide data for mapping spatial parameters of anthropogenic landscape forms, mainly outcrops, sinkholes, subsidence basins around urbanized industrial areas, especially those covered by past and ongoing mining activities. The results of the tests carried out with the use of a prototype model of such system are presented. These show that for the model forming small depression in terrain, its visualization was possible enabling obtaining its true geometrical characteristics.
Highlights
In urbanized industrial areas, especially those covered by the ongoing or past mining activities, whether for opencast mines or underground mines, as well as in non-agricultural and agricultural areas, we encounter intentional or accidental results everywhere of anthropogenic influences on landscape forms
The model of a remote measurement system suitable for use on mobile unmanned aerial platforms is discussed in order to provide data for mapping spatial parameters of anthropogenic landscape forms, mainly outcrops, sinkholes, subsidence basins around urbanized industrial areas, especially those covered by past and ongoing mining activities
The objective of the study presented is to develop model of laser system which could be used in the future on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in aims of obtaining geometrical characteristics of similar anthropogenic landscape forms
Summary
Especially those covered by the ongoing or past mining activities, whether for opencast mines (surface excavations) or underground mines, as well as in non-agricultural and agricultural areas, we encounter intentional (excavation) or accidental results everywhere (depressions, subsidence basins) of anthropogenic (manmade) influences on landscape forms. For anthropogenic formations on uncultivated land, open pits, pit traps and subsidence basins associated with current and past mining activities can be included. For their location, the Upper Silesian System of Information on Surface Dangers on the Terrains of Closed Mines may be used [7] (Fig.1a). The model was built and its laboratory tests were carried out, including the use of small model terrain depression as a model object of subsidence basin These show that for the chosen model of such subsidence, forming a true small depression in terrain, its visualization was possible enabling obtaining its true geometrical characteristics. In Fig.[3] the first three elements of the tested equipment from Fig.2a are collected
