| Summary: | In order to analyze the potential as well as the limitations of low-cost RPAS photogrammetric systems for architectural cultural
heritage reconstruction, some tests were performed by a small RPAS equipped with an ultralight camera. The tests were carried out
in a site of remarkable historical interest. A great amount of images were taken with camera’s optical axis in vertical and oblique
position. Images were processed by the commercial software PhotoScan of Agisoft and numerous models were realized, each of
them was compared with an accurate TLS model used as a reference. The test, despite some problems found, has provided good
results in terms of accuracy (average error <2cm) and reliability. |
