Propuesta de implementación de drones en el instituto de desarrollo urbano para el levantamiento de información topográfica de sitios inestables

Abstract

This document presents a literature review on the use of drones for the surveying of topographic information in unstable sites in Bogotá, and proposes a detailed methodology for its implementation within the Institute of Urban Development. Unstable sites pose a significant challenge for engineers and urban planners, as accurate characterization of the topography is crucial to understanding geomorphological processes and making informed decisions regarding infrastructure planning and design. The literature review included an analysis of various studies and projects related to the application of drones in topographic surveying. It was found that drones offer numerous advantages for this purpose, such as the ability to access hard-to-reach areas and capture topographic data with high spatial resolution. Additionally, the benefits of using image processing techniques and photogrammetry were highlighted, enabling the generation of digital elevation models and orthophotos from images captured by the drones. These models provide a detailed three-dimensional representation of the terrain, facilitating analysis and interpretation of the topographic data. Some challenges and limitations associated with the use of drones in topographic surveying of unstable sites were also discussed, including adverse weather conditions, flight autonomy, and result accuracy. However, it was concluded that drones are a promising and effective tool for obtaining accurate topographic information in unstable areas of Bogotá, despite the associated challenges.
