Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is used in a variety of fields because there are no people on board. In particular, technologies for 3D modeling using UAV are being researched and developed. In 3D modeling using such an UAV, in order to save time and cost and improve the quality of output, a flight plan must be established in advance with the characteristics of the object to be model. However, it is difficult to find a simulator that can check the flight path and the product in advance with the characteristics of object. Therefore, in this study, a pre-flight simulator was developed to improve the efficiency of 3D modeling by applying point cloud data and LOD. In addition, to verify the performance of the simulator, the estimated product of the simulator and the actual product were compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
