Abstract. Recent years, as the urgent demands of the state and society for high-resolution aerial images and large-scale DLG (Digital Line Graphic), UAV borne low-altitude Photogrammetry system are used more and more widely. Combining the application of UAV system in Shanxi for collecting the 1:1000 scale DLG, in this paper, the main steps and key technologies of UAV system for lower altitude aerial photogrammetry are introduced.

In this passage, we took an area of Shanxi as the survey area, acquired 1024 aerial images of the survey area. After the calculation of aerial triangulation, we get the plane accuracy of the encrypted points is 0.21 m and the height accuracy of encrypted points is 0.35 m, could meet the accuracy of 1:1000 scale mapping. It can be seen that the UAV system for low altitude photogrammetry has its own advantages in acquiring high resolution aerial images and large scale DLG, and UAV system has a great development prospects.
