Abstract

A new original method for monitoring the morphological and morphometric characteristics of different types of reservoir shores using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the Agisoftphotoscan software tool is proposed. The application of this methodology is demonstrated based on the example of the shores of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir. The optimal parameters of UAVs for the monitoring of processes on abrasion, landslide, and accumulative shores have been established.
