      ABSTRACT

      Purpose. Analyzing the land disturbance consequences caused by surface mining operations and methods for mapping these lands, as well as studying the accuracy of point coordinates of digital images obtained from materials of aerial photographic surveys using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Performing a quantitative assessment of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of point coordinates on cartographic images and determining the dependences of the RMSE of point coordinates on the photogrammetric parameters.

      Methods. The review of previous research publications within the framework of the presented subject is performed in the following sequence: analysis of ecosystem disbalance as a result of surface mining operations; based on previous studies, collecting the data for quantitative assessment of accuracy in the form of RMSE of point coordinates on cartographic images obtained from the materials of aerial photographic survey using UAVs; statistical study of the relationship between the RMSE and photographic survey parameters.

      Findings. The methods for mapping the disturbed lands to return them to their natural state after the consequences of surface mining operations are presented, based on a review of previous research publications on the subject of the work. According to the previous studies, the RMSE of point coordinates of cartographic images has been systematized, and, based on this, the accuracy of topographic plans has been determined for them. Statistical studies of the relationship between the quantitative assessment of the RMSE (xy) and RMSE (z) accuracy in relation to the photographic survey parameters have been performed. In addition, the scattering diagrams of the correlation dependence and the range of RMSE relative frequency have been presented.

      Originality. Based on a critical analysis of previous studies on the lack of quantitative accuracy regulation of cartographic images obtained from aerial photographic survey using UAVs, the RMSE systematics has been performed in terms of the photographic survey height. Based on this, the accuracy of topographic plans, the relative frequency of horizontal and vertical distribution of errors, the mean value and the root mean square error (σ) have been determined.

      Practical implications. The systematics of the RMSE values of cartographic image point coordinates for certain photographic survey parameters and the scale of topographic images makes it possible to take this into account in the project of aerial photographic survey using UAVs of lands for various purposes, as well as to choose the height and photographic equipment according to the required accuracy.

      Keywords: surface mining, cartographic image, aerial photographic survey using UAVs, ground control points, root mean square error, orthophotomap accuracy
