Investigations on the geometric quality of cameras for UAV applications using the high precision UAV test field Zollern colliery
The geodetic-photogrammetric test field at the industrial monument Zollern colliery in Dortmund offers a scenario for carrying out geometric and radiometric tests of UAV systems. The foundation for this builds a geodetic precision network (position and height accuracy approx. 2 mm) with a total of 45 ground control points, distributed over an area of approx. 7 hectares. Within the scope of a campaign carried out in autumn 2017, various UAV sensor systems were tested under comparable conditions. Within this paper geometric investigations of two current DJI cameras, Zenmuse X4S (20 Mpix) and X5S (20.8 Mpix), as well as a Phase One IXU 1000 (100 Mpix) are presented. While the Zenmuse cameras reflect the current state of development of the manufacturer DJI, the medium format camera system from Phase One is primarily settled in the classic aerial segment. However, the desire for increased measurement accuracy (e. g. for engineering applications) also makes such a high-performance sensor interesting for UAV applications.
In addition to the configuration of the test field, the system comparison requires identical parameters for flight planning, in particular image overlapping, a complete cross flight configuration at different flight altitudes and the definition of a uniform ground resolution (GSD = 14 mm).”
