UAV for Creating 3D Models

The aim of this final qualification work is to develop a prototype of an unmanned aerial vehicle such as a quadcopter for flying in automatic mode, shooting large objects for photogrammetry and creating a 3D model from photographic material. To achieve this goal, the development process is divided into two main parts: development of a quadcopter for photogrammetry and flight automation. The quadcopter was developed based on the requirements for flight time, shooting quality, and a set of functions. It is based on a flight controller with an open architecture that uses the MavLink protocol to transmit control commands. To automate the flight, a single-board Raspberry Pi companion computer was installed, on which a program is run that sends control commands to the controller. The operator indicates a point on the map, which is the center of the object, the radius of flight and altitude, turns on the camera. The quadcopter goes into the “GUIDED” mode, starts the engines and takes off to a predetermined height, flies around the object along a circular path, and then goes into the “return home” mode. The resulting video materials are processed to obtain a 3D model of the object. As part of this work, an analysis was made of the methods of photogrammetry, the quadcopter market, requirements for the quadcopter for photogrammetry were formed, and a prototype was developed. The volume of the report on the final qualifying work, not including the annex, is 63 pages. The number of tables in the work is 4, illustrations - 46, sources used - 32.
