As an emerging technology and excellent platform, UAV becomes
more and more popular in various industries to avoid human injury in
dangerous working conditions, reduce costs of human resources and
accomplish tasks which are inaccessible for human beings in some
scenarios. In surveying industry, UAV has greatly improved the
capability, efficiency and opportunity of surveying. UAV based
surveying solutions are integration of UAV platform, sensors,
communication as well as software, which are able to be widely
deployed in almost all surveying related aspects. As the first
working group regarding UAV in FIG family, WG6.3 is not only
contributing to Commission 6, but also supporting all related FIG
commissions.
WG6.3’s main goals will be to support specialists in UAV
surveying studies with state-of-the art solutions and provide the
latest developments and future oriented concepts:
Gathering top UAV in surveying related companies and
academic/research institutes worldwide, including UAV platform
itself, flight controller, communication, various sensors as
well as application software.
Promoting UAV associated applications in all FIG
commissions, with collaboration with other commissions of FIG.
Promoting studies on the potential of existing and new UAV
sensors to improve trans-border applications of surveying
technologies, with collaboration with FIG sister organizations
and other societies.
Driving draft of policies and standards for UAV applications
in Surveying.
Leading exhibition/technical sessions of UAV in Surveying
during FIG working week.
Initiating an award of UAV in Surveying jointly
organized with other commissions.
At least one technical session about UAV
in Surveying will be held during FIG working week (Normally in the
second quarter).
Workshop of UAV in Surveying will be held
once a year (usually in the fourth quarter) in different countries,
with FIG member associations as the co-organizer in each host
country. The first workshop of UAV in Surveying is going to be held
in November or December 2019, China.
