Abstract
Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is an aspect of close range remote sensing and photogrammetry method that provides excellent and timely spectral and spatial services for rapid identification of details due to the low altitude of flight and identification of a clear water surface, topographic mapping and analysis, vegetation monitoring, land use change analysis, shorelines and river bank level monitoring, etc. Therefore, while comparing the imperative costs of the UAS and its major components (UAV, Ground Controller and Radio Communication) with the cost of multispectral and thermal cameras which are still very expensive alongside their end products as compared to visible cameras of UAV and the end products for cost effective and maximal applications in environmental surveying and modelling. However, this research shows how a commercially available middle-classed Quadcopter UAV/DRONE which is affordable even for the individuals to acquire was flown over the study area in accordance to pre-planned flight in Drone Deploy to collect data inform of images only in the visible region of the spectral bands i.e RGB, these images were then processed and mosaicked to obtain the Orthophoto using the Agisoft Metashape. In ArcMap, the orthophoto was used to calculate and generate different spectral vegetation indices. These indices were further visualized, analyzed and interpreted for different applications as it relates to identification and mapping of shoreline and vegetation including the clear water and the results includes NDI, CIVE, VDVI, VARI etc. which clearly shows the Shoreline, clear water and the vegetation better than the true colour image.
