AERIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY OF ROOF SNOW DEPTHS USING THREE DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT

The method of kite balloon aerial photogrammetry is proven to be applicable in surveying snow depths on roofs. First, features of three different aircraft--airplane, unmanned kite balloon, and model helicopter--for mounting aerial cameras are compared from the viewpoint of surveying snow depths on roofs of actual buildings. Measurement errors of roof snow depths by the kite balloon aerial photogrammetry are investigated, and the distributions of snow depths on two flat roofs are discussed. From the results, practical use of the kite balloon is clarified.
