Summary/Abstract: There are presented 2 systems based on UAV equipment using a combination of 2 technologies Lidar and photogrammetry. Both UAV equipment, the hexacopter DJI M600 and the fix wing airplane TerraHawk CW-20 with vertical landing are collecting high density of Lidar points and aerial images.The paper presents the advantage of using high density of cloud points combined with high image resolution for collecting accurate and complete geospatial data. The registered area is divided in cells and specific algorithms are applied on cells in a tree structure for fast DTM and DSM generation. In house applications are used for cloud data processing and change detection. Some 3D modelling applications are also presented for different kind of objects.
