Z. Li and Y. Li

Keywords: unmanned helicopter, survey, architectural heritage

Abstract. The survey of ancient buildings is complex work. Chinese wooden buildings, with their complex structure and exquisite decorations, pose a great challenge for survey work. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce unmanned-helicopter photogrammetry and laser scanning technology to facilitate the work. This paper uses three cases to explain the application of these new technologies in China's architectural heritage protection and analyzes the special features and main operational techniques of the survey wor k.
