Abstract:In order to improve the efficiency of river and lake management, the application of drone remote sensing is discussed. Drone remote sensing has several advantages, such as wide observation range, quick spatial information collection etc. This paper selects and analyzes 3 monitoring methods of drone, considering the working principle of drone remote sensing and different requirements of shoreline supervision. The results show that: 1) Low-altitude photography technology is suitable for daily inspection of small rivers and lakes and obtains aerial photos. 2) Conventional photogrammetry technology can be used to generate high-resolution orthophoto images and digital surface models using PhotoScan software. Thematic maps can be quickly produced by GIS software, which is suitable for monitoring small and medium-scale shoreline encroachment. 3) Oblique photogrammetry technology is suitable for monitoring large-scale shoreline encroachment by buildings. A 3D model of buildings can be developed to accurately calculate information such as the building area and encroaching on flood control storage capacity. Drone remote sensing is used for river and lake shoreline monitoring, which can effectively prevent shoreline encroachment and provide technical support for the security of the shoreline.
