1015 | Giovanni Massazza; Maurizio Rosso\r\n\r\nAbstract\r\n\r\nThe | ||||
1016 | technology of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is rapidly improving and | ||||
1017 | UAV-integrated sensors have kept up with it, providing more efficient | ||||
1018 | and effective solutions. One of the most sought-after characteristics | ||||
1019 | of on-board sensors is the low costing associated to good quality of | ||||
1020 | the collected data. This paper proposes a very low-cost multiband | ||||
1021 | sensor developed on a Raspberry device and two Raspberry Pi 3 cameras | ||||
1022 | that can be used in photogrammetry from drone applications. The | ||||
1023 | UAV-integrated radiometric sensor and its performance were tested in | ||||
1024 | in two villages of South-west Niger for the detection of temporary | ||||
1025 | surface water bodies (or Ephemeral water bodies): zones of seasonal | ||||
1026 | stagnant water within villages threatening the viability and | ||||
1027 | people\u2019s health. The Raspberry Pi 3 cameras employed were a | ||||
1028 | regular RGB Pi camera 2 (Red, Green, Blue) and a NoIR Pi 3 camera v2 | ||||
1029 | (regular RGB without IR filter) with 8MPX resolution. The cameras were | ||||
1030 | geometrically calibrated and radiometrically tested before the survey | ||||
1031 | in the field. The results of the photogrammetry elaborations were 4 | ||||
1032 | orthophotos (a RGB and NoIRGB orthophoto for each village). The | ||||
1033 | Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) was calculated. The index | ||||
1034 | allowed the localization and the contouring of the temporary surface | ||||
1035 | water bodies present in the villages. The data were checked against | ||||
1036 | the data collected with a Sony (ILCE-5100). Very high correspondence | ||||
1037 | between the different data was detected. Raspberry-based sensors | ||||
1038 | demonstrated to be a valid tool for the data collection in critical | ||||
1039 | areas.", | ||||
