Setting the scene:
• Quicker than Terrestrial Survey • Cheaper than a Manned Aerial Survey • Little research into UAV over a beach • None without GCP
Why an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) survey and why research it?

Undertake an aerial digital photogrammetric survey of a suitable beach
Complete a comparative terrestrial survey of the same area using a quad bike and
RTK GPS
Produce digital elevation models (DEMs) using the data obtained from each survey
method & compare the results and draw conclusions.
Setting the scene: Aim & Objectives To test the precision of an unmanned aerial photogrammetric beach survey without the use of ground control points.
