Analysis of modern unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with a laser scanning system

Abstract

Aim. To conduct a critical analysis of modern scientific achievements using helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and scanning systems (LIDAR), to state the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed technologies and to develop a classification of the considered technologies. Method. Application of analysis and classification as general scientific methods of cognition. The results. As a result of the analyzed literary sources related to scanning systems installed on unmanned aerial vehicles, their practical application, normative and legal documents regulating their use and technologies for technology improvement were determined. Practical value. The presented analysis of literary sources will be used in the future to improve the method of processing the scanning system installed on the DJI S1000 octocopter.
