Aplicações de VANTs no monitoramento de águas continentais

Abstract

UAVs quickly became a widely used tool for obtaining data related to the monitoring of inland waters, presenting clear advantages over direct sampling methods and other ways of performing remote sensing. The present work objective is to carry out an exploratory research about the subject under study, collecting data from 70 articles which involved some type of field study related to the use of UAVs in the monitoring of inland waters and focusing on UAV models, types of sensors and UAV applications. Among all the articles, the most used UAV models were the quadrotor multirotors, with the DJI Phantom line drones being the most common among the analyzed articles. Among the applications, 33 published works deal with the monitoring of some water quality parameter, with FAN monitoring being the most common application among these. Infection and water forecast were treated, respectively, in 6 and 8 articles. The remaining works deal with other applications of UAVs, such as monitoring of aquatic flora, coastal meteorology, topometric mapping, irrigation control and meteorology. The majority of studies had good results, with the few exceptions proposing solutions that could be easily applied on subsequent studies.
