Abstract:To address the pain points of municipal road engineering, including high complexity, low survey efficiency, difficulty in guaranteeing construction accuracy, and high safety operation and maintenance costs, the advantages of UAV aerial survey technology are systematically elaborated in adapting to complex terrain, conducting low-altitude operations, and performing data collection and processing. The core process of interior processing for aerial survey is analyzed. The technologies of DEM multi-algorithm adaptive interpolation and intelligent pavement shadow removal are studied. An application mode of “UAV aerial survey - 3D modeling - engineering design - operation and maintenance management” is established. Combined with the cases of urban road reconstruction engineering, the complete technical route and practical scheme are demonstrated. The results show that the standardized UAV aerial survey and image processing technologies can quickly obtain the high-precision geographic information results, providing the reliable data support for the fields such as topographic surveying and mapping, municipal road engineering construction, and operation and maintenance, which has the significant practical value in improving engineering survey efficiency, ensuring construction accuracy and reducing operation risks.
