Abstract: Romakha O.R., Vivat A.Y. (leader). Analysis of possibilities of the use of unmanned aircrafts for solving engineering geodesy problems. Master’s thesis. – Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2020. Extended annotation. An unmanned aerial vehicle is a reusable robot that rises into the air on its own and flies without a crew, using software or under the direct guidance of an operator located at a ground control point, using a two-way radio channel that can carry a payload, recording equipment, monitoring equipment; and are used for reconnaissance in air and water environments [1]. Today, the scope of the application of drones is increasingly expanding and allocated to a separate industry [2]. The world increasingly uses unmanned aerial vehicles to solve engineering problems. Innovations in production allow the increase of speed and quality of work. Object of study - technology of using unmanned aerial vehicles in engineering and geodetic problems. Subject of study - unmanned aerial vehicle Fimi X8 SE 2020. Goal of research - to study the possibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles in engineering problems of geodesy. Research methods: experimental, observation, comparative, analysis. This Master’s thesis specifically describes unmanned aerial vehicle Fimi X8 SE 2020 [3], as well as general engineering and geodetic problems where UAV are applicable. The solutions of these engineering and geodetic problems were found through analysis. The calculations of the volumes of the pit using a cloud of points were determined by the photogrammetric method and the classical method (using electronic total station data). The results followed: the volume using ground method - 3659.5 м3, photogrammetric - 3676.6 м3. A topographic plan of the area’s altitude base was created using an orthophoto and elevation maps, using a cloud of points [4-5]. The analysis of the application of a photogrammetric method for calculating areas, in comparison with a terrestrial tacheometric method (in an example of landscaping) was performed. The combination of these two methods demonstrated the best results. The issues of economics and organization of geodetic works were considered. Keywords: UAV, quadcopter, engineering and geodetic works, aerial photography, photogrammetric method. References. 1. Timochko, OI, Golubnichy, D. Yu., Tretyak, VF, & Ruban, IV (2007).
