Abstract

Abstract. The paper describes utilization of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for detection of changes of shorelines. UAV is used as a cheep and on-demand available possibility how to collect remotely sensed data. Its utilization is limited by legal regulations and weather conditions. Paper deals with utilization of UAV for monitoring small water area and particularly study of changes of shorelines. Study contains other methods of classification. After classification will be data processed for next calculations. Indices regarding shoreline changes are in the study also. In conclusion, study contains obtainment findings and encouragement for the future.

Highlights

  • Studying changes of landscape is a very important issue in the modern society

  • unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) represent one of several available methods how to observe changes of landscape. Importance of this method increases because there are many different possibilities of utilization of data collected by UAVs

  • The important issue is availability of measurements – utilization of UAVs is limited by weather conditions only

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Studying changes of landscape is a very important issue in the modern society. It means that the society is interested in new findings which can help to understand how nature and its particular elements exist and behave. There are many issues why this method is more reasonable than in situ observations, sampling and measurements and land surveying It means the costs are lower (namely in case when bigger areas are monitored), accuracy and spatial resolution is adequate to aims of studies and data measured in various parts of electromagnetic spectrum are available. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are increasingly used to monitor small areas, e.g. small water bodies (ponds). This research is focused on using remote sensing for studying chemical processes and composition of various types of soils, e.g. of water sediments. A part of the shoreline of a pound is used to demonstrate the proposed procedure within the case study
