Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, are a perfect illustration of revolutionary equipment where it can now be used in geographical mapping instead of ground surveying and expensive traditional photogrammetry. The paper deals with the 3D model reconstruction of the new construction building. A complete aerial mapping of the area was carried out through the combination of aerial data collected with UAV and terrestrial data obtained with close-range photogrammetry techniques. The data acquired were then processed using digital photogrammetric software. This technique uses a sequence of 2-dimensional images to recreate a scene or an object's 3-dimensional structure. Combination of UAV and image processing can be used as a viable alternative to data collection to create 3D modelling of buildings or areas collected from aerial and terrestrial data. The results show the possibility of UAV technology for fast and reliable building 3D reconstruction to monitor the construction site. ? 2024 Author(s).
