We compute the volume of flushed sediments in a dam using photogrammetry-based multi-temporal surveys with an unmanned aerial system (UAS). Coping with sediments accumulation and erosion in reservoir is a living topic in modern hydraulics of dams, since the increase of sediment may reduce the reservoir capacity, endanger dam's stability, and...

An optimized planning and realization of the survey, coupled with well thought-out processing, allows obtaining good quality results, while guaranteeing a reasonable use of resources and time. It represents a benefit for both operators and end-users. The former can save time and acquire smaller datasets to process, while the latter can invest...
