1 INTRODUCTION
Forest structure is a key parameter in defining the protection function of forest against
natural hazards (Maier et al., 2008). Forests especially in mountainous areas protect people
and their assets against different slope processes e.g. rockfalls, avalanches, landslides,
debris flows etc. Forest cover has a mitigation effect due to standing and lying trees and
their capacity to dissipate energy. Defining forest stand structure is an important task as
based on different parameters, etc. stand density, basal area, DBH, the protective effect of
forest can be evaluated (Belcore et al., 2018).
As already mentioned in D.T1.2.3, since several year, the use of UAV (unmanned aerial
system) aerial surveys by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), especially through
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) or photogrammetry, were carried out in the last years to
acquire point clouds to be used in 3D models aimed at achieving an accurate description of
tree crowns and terrain as well as surveying and monitoring natural hazards that occur in
the forests.
The use of drones in forestry has been primarily focused on mapping and monitoring forest
fires, however their use is increasing for applications such as tree crown/gap mapping,
forest stand mapping, volume estimation, wind blow assessment, pest monitoring and
harvest planning (Paneque-Gálvez et al., 2014). Successful implementation of drones in
forestry depends on following features of UAV’s: flexibility of use in flight planning, low
cost, reliability and autonomy, and capacity to produce a high-resolution data (Torresan et
al., 2017). UAVs in forestry can be used for (based on examples in: Vepakomma et al.,
2015; Tang and Shao, 2015; Banu et al., 2016; Torresan et al., 2017; Taddese Berie and
Burud, 2018): tree species classification, quantification of spatial gaps in forests, post-fire
recovery monitoring and forest fire measuring, forest health monitoring and forest diseases
mapping, post-harvest soil displacement estimation and supporting intensive forest
management.
The use of UAV can have many benefits in surveying and monitoring protection forest in
order to maintain protective effect of forest and regenerate it protective effect after the
events that can largely decrease it. Combined with remote sensing techniques UAV offer a
versatile opportunities how to improve forest mapping and monitoring with the regards to
natural hazards like rockfall. The following content is presenting some of the major
advatages of UAV for risk protection survey and monitoring regards to traditional field
methods and also conventional remote sensing techniques.

This report introduces the UAV in forested sites, analysing the different sensors required
and available results carried out by a data acquisition made by drone. In the second part of
the report focuses on some case studies, stressing advantages and disadvantages of its use
for rockfall monitoring and generally over forested sites.
2 UAV TECHNOLOGY
Aerial vehicles are complex systems made by hardware and software structures. The
improvement of electronics allowed the development of navigation and control systems
more and more available on the market.
The main components required to use the UAV are:
1) the aerial platform, which includes the airframe, the navigation system, the power
system and the payload
2) ground control station (GCS), which allows the human control from a remote
emplacement; and the communication system, which supports the communication
between the other two components.
The UAV could be composed by different components::
airframe: it is the main structure, which has to be designed according to the specific
sensors that have to be installed. Its structure has to consider the weight regarding
in particular the power and the communication and control systems on board.
Moreover, the airframe needs to be properly designed to withstand the forces that
can occur during the flight and not cause deformation and vibration. Fixed wings
on UAVs are mainly made on polystyrene or plastic, while common multi-rotors
airframes are made on aluminium or carbon fibber (in such a way as to be
lightweight and resistant) (Figure 1), and the number of arms is a function of the
expected payload and the number of engines;
Figure 1. Different airframes. From the left: polystyrene, plastic, aluminium, carbon fibber
Navigation system (board): this board allows autonomous or semi-autonomous
flights through hardware and software components. The specification of the
autopilot for a UAV can be summarized as reported in Table 1. The autopilot
includes positioning (Global Navigation Satellite System – GNSS receiver) and
attitude (inertial platform) systems and the data registered from these sensors are
managed by a microcontroller that, after the process of the input signals, can send
updated information to the autopilot to control the stability and the trajectory;

Focusing more the attention on the payload, various gimbals and acquisition systems can be mounted on-board. These sensors can mainly include the following:
• digital cameras: the most common use for UAVs is image and video acquisition for monitoring, photogrammetry [0]. Different kind of cameras are now available as professional, semi-professional and action cams, but the lens calibration is always required to ensure a final good result;
Figure 2. Examples of professional, semi-professional and action cameras for UAVs
• thermal detector: these systems can be used in situations with an important gradient of temperature in order to add the thermal information to the visible one [0],
• multispectral cameras: these sensors can be very helpful in environmental applications to classify different kinds of vegetation or to monitoring the growth and variation of some areas [0]. Table 2 summarizes some characteristics of the most used multispectral sensors;

• LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging): these devices are very helpful during the night, with clouds or shadows and especially in presence of many trees (Table 3). This is possible because they are active sensors that transmit a signal to the object then they measure the intensity of the returned signal [0];

• IMU-MEMS (Inertial Measurement Unit - Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems): useful for real time navigation and post-processing attitude estimation;
• GNSS receivers: these sensors are able to obtain the position of the UAV along the flight. In particular, navigation systems play a fundamental role and these systems use not only one or
more GNSS receivers, but also an inertial navigation system that is necessary to provide the
vehicle set-up information for each epoch, and to assist the GNSS system in estimating the
position of the vehicle.
The use of these sensors, however, requires the resolution of a series of problems, both
theoretical and practical, linked for example to their synchronization and calibration. Typically,
these problems can be solved by developing appropriate hardware and software tools, where
systematic errors (bias) and sensor drift (s) are analyzed and compensated, with the ultimate goal
of obtaining a navigational solution sufficiently accurate, also in relation to the type of application
in which the sensors are used.
Different solutions can be available, mainly based on these possibilities:
• Single/multi frequency receivers: possibility to improve the solution with the usage of the
L2 frequency;
• Single/multi constellation antennas and receivers: the availability of more than one
constellation can improve, also in this case, the final positioning solution;
• RTK (Real Time Kinematic) approach: it is the possibility to improve the position estimated
in real time with correction from a master or a permanent station;
• GNSS/IMU integration: it is also possible to improve the GNSS position with data from the
inertial platform.

The market offers many low-cost GPS or GNSS receivers, often available as an OEM card. In other
cases, some Devolopper Kit are available, as in the u-blox receivers: this makes them immediately
usable since the card is already combined with a USB serial port, a power supply device and a LAN
network port.
In particular, the u-blox receiver (Figure 3, now available in v.8) is a GNSS receiver, capable of
receiving also 4 single-frequency GNSS constellations. At a cost of about € 300, it is an interesting
solution with minimum overall dimensions and an easy interface. The presence of the
communication port requires only to prepare a data storage on micro PC and SD card (or similar)
and the transfer of raw data to a processing center.

On the other hand, some OEM card solutions with a variable cost between € 100 and €1000 are
also available (examples in Erreur ! Source du renvoi introuvable.). Among the "medium-high"
receivers, some multi-frequency and multi-constellation OEM records should be highlighted, not
included in any management and display device. These cards should therefore be engineered and
could constitute a low cost solution but with centimeter precision suitable also for real time.
These receivers are already set up for RTK acquisitions and they may have options that are not

About the IMU sensors, an inertial measurement unit consists of a set of sensors, generally
accelerometers and gyroscopes, necessary to allow the estimation of all the navigation states at a
high frequency. Since these are sensors of an electro-mechanical nature, the measurements
carried out are affected by systematic errors (measurement bias, scaling factors or non-
orthogonality of the sensor triplets) and accidental errors (noise).
Usually the height of flight is fixed not considering a real elevation model. In same case, flight
planners are able to consider some global digital elevation models, and define a flight plan with a
constant distance from the ground (figure 3). This is important in particular in steep areas, where
the value of GSD can be very different is the flight height is constant and the surveyed area has a
strong difference of altitude.
Figure 3: example of flight planner that is able to consider also a global terrain. In the image is also possible to see that flight planner have always the possibility to setup a geofence, which represents the limit of the area of operation of the UAV.
Recently, there is a new approach adopted for photogrammetry application which is based on the
acquisition of oblique images. In this case, the planning has to be completely different and the
traditional tools are not more available. The same problem rises when the image acquisition is
made along a vertical façade (e.g. rock façade), where the flight is manually made, using the
experience of the pilot. Moreover in this condition, working along a vertical plane, the height is
not perfectly guarantee and stable due by the position quality estimated by the GNSS receiver.
The oblique acquisition is the typically based on the use of multirotors.

Ground Control Points The use of Ground Control Points is an important element that could have a strong impact on the
accuracy of the SfM-based DSM (James et al., 2012; Turner et al., 2015). GCPs are points of known
coordinated that can be clearly recognized in the photo-sequence acquired by UAV. These points
can be elements present in the field or artificial targets placed in the surveyed area before the
UAV flight. The position of GCPs is acquired using high accuracy topographic methods like GNSS or
total stations and then identified in the photo sequence during the SfM procedure (Harwin and
Lucieer, 2012). The use and the number of GCPs depends on the required final accuracy of the
positioning of the DSM and the quality of the UAV positioning system.
As said before, it is possible to have on the UAV GPS only or multi-constellation receiver, but it is
important to evaluate the combination between receiver and antenna, in order to define the final
performances. In some cases, an external GNSS receiver is installed, which is used to collect the
raw data only. This solution is adopted for direct photogrammetry applications (Turner et al.,
2014; Eling et al., 2015; Mian et al., 2015; Gabrlik et al., 2018), where is required a high resolution
GNNS on board that reduce the importance and the impact of GCPs on the final accuracy of the
DSM.
The number of GCPs and their position is hard to define a priori, but some simple operative
suggestions can be useful for a good distribution of these points: i) follow the limit of the area of
interest ii) insert other GCPs inside the area of interest considering also the elevation differences
of the area. Other critical consideration that have to be evaluated during the deployment of GCPs
are, according to James et al. (2017): i) the importance of datum alignment to gravity ( the
distribution of targets can be carefully considered in particular if the final model can be used for
modelling gradient-sensitive processes like, for example, rainfall runoff), ii) the presence of

AND MONITORING

vegetation at the scale of the physical control targets (that could hamper the identification of
targets on images) iii) the absolute 3-D positioning.
Another important element that should be carefully considered during the definition of number
and position of GCPs is the real effort that the deployment and survey of these points required.
Nex and Remondino (2014) propose an evaluation of the time effort in a typical UAV-based
photogrammetric workflow. The time effort evaluation proposed by Nex and Remondino (2014)
is: Flight planning 5%; Image acquisition 20%; GCPs field measurement 15%; image triangulation
