Abstract
A cost effective, unmanned aerial vehicle (herein after UAV) is getting to be widely used in various field. Especially in the civil engineering and agricultural fields, using a UAV is becoming a standard. The author has conducted surveys using an UAV since 2014. Aiming at observing drift ice observation along sea of Okhotsk, this research introduces fundamental method related to UAV technologies. Auto pilot software makes it possible for UAV to fly along a pre-calculated course as if automated cleaning machine flying. Series of pictures can be used as stereo-photogrammetry method. Very precise high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are obtained easily and at low cost. Overlapping, geotagged images were obtained over grass land along sea of Okhotsk. Again, this research presents basic knowledge and techniques necessary for introducing UAV, its operation, aerial photography techniques and the possibilities of using an UAV to observe drift ice.
