Monitoramento de área com VANT (Veículo aéreo não tripulado)

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - UAV, popularly known as Drone, is a cutting-edge technology that has gained prominence in recent years in the area of mining and environmental monitoring as a whole, with image geoprocessing. This study aimed to monitor the area under development for crop planting on the UFOPA campus (Federal University of Western Pará) in the municipality of Juruti-PA. The methodology used was to define the area to be mapped, survey the chosen area, proceeding with the delimitation with the aid of GPS, to carry out flight planning with the aid of the Drone Deploy software, capturing images with the UAV, DJI Mavic Pro, then processing the images with Agisoft Metashape software, to obtain the digital surface model (MDS) and the Orthoimage of the studied area. The monitoring proved to be viable, as did the first flight, demonstrating that there was no interference in the monitored area that could harm the survey. In the proposal presented, monitoring the area provided results in 3D models, which could be analyzed, thus observing how the area is arranged in an urban environment, and its transformation due to the growth of plant seedlings that were cultivated. In view of this, our monitoring with UAVs proved to be effective, and can thus replace other geoprocessing methods, which require more time, people and resources, and with the Drone it became more practical, fast, efficient, reaching areas with large territorial extensions more quickly.
