Justification for choosing the optimal UAV device for surveying

Abstract

Remote survey is becoming increasingly common for the mining industry, so studying the choice of a UAV device is a very relevant issue, which will help increase the productivity of the survey service. The aim of the study is to study UAV species, compare species, and choose the optimal one based on the results of the study. Considering the above-mentioned, there is a question of choosing the type of UAV to conduct surveys in the mining industry. To date, there is no clear comparison and description of the predominant types of UAVs for surveying. The choice of a certain type of UAV for surveying raises a number of questions related to the type of work performed, weather conditions, and the terrain of the survey. The main research methods are literature analysis, factor analysis method, analysis of UAV types for performing survey using UAVs. The above helped to justify the best devices for conducting surveying. The work carried out made it possible to determine the optimal UAV device for carrying out these works.
