Abstract

This paper describes how the first test base for Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) was built. Aerial photos was done with non-metric cameras Canon 700D. Using the software Agisoft PhotoScan were created orthophotos and Digital Surface Model (DSM). Ortophotos and DSM were calculated in four variants. Computing variants are different in number of ground control points (GCP) entered. Rectangular plane coordinates of check points were read from the orthophoto maps in all variants. Heights of these points were read from DSM in all variants too. The article analyzes the accuracy of check points in all variants. These experiences are nested into the design parameters of the new test base for using in opencast mining. Proposal for a new test base must accept the conditions laid by the Czech Mining Authority for determination of the surface, area and volume, which will comply with upcoming amendment regulation No 435/92.
