“…The objective of any remote sensing (the process of measuring an object or phenomenon of interest from a distance), is to provide observation of some physical parameter in a mapping frame at a given time or time period (Toth and Jóźków 2016). Many studies have quantified analyzing the usefulness of UAVs for monitoring, inspection and surveys applications in water environment.…”

“…(Toth and Jóźków 2016). Traditional geodetic survey techniques (total station and RTK/GNSS surveys) are nowadays more frequently replaced with high-resolution laser sensors and semi-automatic platforms: aerial light detection and ranging systems (ALS), terrestrial light detection and ranging systems (TLS) or mobile light detection and ranging systems (MLS), personal laser scanning (PLS) (Marshall et al 2016).…”

Abstract-One of the most important factors that influences the performance of geomorphologic parameters on urban lakes is the water level. It fluctuates periodically, causing shoreline changes. It is especially significant for typical environmental studies like bathymetric surveys, morphometric parameters calculation, sediment depth changes, thermal structure, water quality monitoring, etc. In most reservoirs, it can be obtained from digitized historical maps or plans or directly measured using the instruments such as: geodetic total station, GNSS receivers, UAV with different sensors, satellite and aerial photos, terrestrial and airborne light detection and ranging, or others. Today one of the most popular measuring platforms, increasingly applied in many applications is UAV. Unmanned aerial system can be a cheap, easy to use, on-demand technology for gathering remote sensing data. Our study presents a reliable methodology for shallow lake shoreline investigation with the use of a low-cost fixed-wing UAV system. The research was implemented on a small, eutrophic urban inland reservoir located in the northern part of Poland-Lake Suskie. The geodetic TS, and RTK/GNSS measurements, hydroacoustic soundings and experimental aerial mapping were conducted by the authors in 2012-2015. The article specifically describes the UAV system used for experimental measurements, the obtained results and the accuracy analysis. Final conclusions demonstrate that even a lowcost fixed-wing UAV can provide an excellent tool for accurately surveying a shallow lake shoreline and generate valuable geoinformation data collected definitely faster than when traditional geodetic methods are employed.

“…OBIA has been shown to give improved results with a higher accuracy compared to pixel based methods (Hussain et al 2013 &. It also provides a powerful solution to using various data sources and through technological developments is able to deal with the complex processing needed (Toth and Jozkow 2016). OBIA has been successfully used by large detailed habitat mapping studies, such as the Phase 1 mapping of Wales (Lucas et al 2011).…”

“…With the exception of satellite platforms (Duan & Lafarge, 2016;Toth & Jóźków, 2016), researchers regularly report submeter accuracy of 3D acquisition techniques (Jarząbek-Rychard & Borkowski, 2016;Kabolizade, Ebadi, & Mohammadzadeh, 2012;Mårtensson & Reshetyuk, 2016;Rottensteiner et al, 2014;Wang, Kutterer, & Fang, 2016). Hence, we consider positional accuracy in the range of 0-1 m in 10 cm increments resulting in 11 error classes.…”

There has been a great deal of research about errors in geographic information and how they affect spatial analyses. A typical GIS process introduces various types of errors at different stages, and such errors usually propagate into errors in the result of a spatial analysis. However, most studies consider only a single error type thus preventing the understanding of the interaction and relative contributions of different types of errors. We focus on the level of detail (LOD) and positional error, and perform a multiple error propagation analysis combining both types of error. We experiment with three spatial analyses (computing gross volume, envelope area, and solar irradiation of buildings) performed with procedurally generated 3D city models to decouple and demonstrate the magnitude of the two types of error, and to show how they individually and jointly propagate to the output of the employed spatial analysis. The most notable result is that in the considered spatial analyses the positional error has a much higher impact than the LOD. As a consequence, we suggest that it is pointless to acquire geoinformation of a fine LOD if the acquisition method is not accurate, and instead we advise focusing on the accuracy of the data.
