Kuningan Regency is one of the districts in West Java Province with a high rate of landslide events, especially in the southern part where its hilly landscape is dominated with a steep slope. Due to its vulnerability because of cracked soil after the landslide events, landslide locations in Kuningan Regency might only be safe if surveyed using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Therefore, in this study, DJI Phantom 4 Pro was flown to capture images of landslide locations with a 10 cm spatial resolution. Image processing was conducted to generate Orthophoto and Digital Surface Model (DSM) to give information about the direction and area of landslides. Two sub-districts where landslides occurred, namely Darma and Selajambe, were chosen for landslide mapping using UAV. Results show that in Darma Sub-district, the landslide area is approximately 7,026 m2, while in Selajambe Sub-district is around 8,699 m2. The study results are very useful to analyze the factors affecting landslide events such as slope.

A challenge for hospitals in facing the high number of patient visits is to provide quality services. One of the vital services in dealing with patients, especially those who will have cancer surgery considering the high rate of mortality cancer, is an improvement in waiting time (WT). Waiting time for elective surgery is one indicator of service quality with a standard of ≤2 days. This research aimed to determine the average WT for surgery, influencing factors, and optimal queuing models. The method used was quantitative and qualitative methods applied to 207 samples with consecutive sampling at West Java Provincial Al-Ihsan Regional General Hospital Bandung from October to December 2016. The analysis used partial least squares (PLS). The results of the study showed that the average WT for surgery was 32 days. Factors that influence WT were inpatient rooms, number of medical personnel, condition of patients, and health insurance. The optimal queue model to reduce surgical waiting time are adding inpatient beds, oncologist doctor, and creating an online system for registration and confirmation of inpatient rooms and operating. FAKTOR YANG MEMENGARUHI WAKTU TUNGGU OPERASI PASIEN KANKER DI RUMAH SAKIT RUJUKAN JAWA BARATTantangan bagi rumah sakit dalam menghadapi jumlah kunjungan pasien yang tinggi adalah mampu memberikan pelayanan berkualitas.

The Digital Surface Model (DSM) is commonly used in studies on flood map modeling. The lack of accurate, high-resolution topography data has hindered flood modeling. The use of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can help data acquisition with sufficient accuracy. This research aims to provide high-resolution DSM-generated maps by Ground Control Points (GCPs) settings. Improvement of the model's accuracy was pursued by distributing 20 GCPs along the edges of the study area. Agrisoft software was used to generate the DSM. The generated DSM can be used for various planning purposes. The model's accuracy is measured in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) based on the generated DSM. The RMSE values are 0.488 m for x-coordinates and y-coordinates (horizontal direction) and 0.161 m for z-coordinates (vertical direction).

Unmanned aerial vehicle images are considered an important tool in close-range photogrammetry for topographic map production and 3D modelling using structure-from-motion approaches. The effect of overlap percentage in vertical and integrated vertical and oblique images on accuracy is evaluated. Analysis showed that the accuracy of the photogrammetric products (e.g., digital surface model and orthoimagery) is increased with the increased overlap percentage in vertical images. The accuracy is better when oblique images are integrated into vertical images than when only vertical images are used even with the same number of images. Furthermore, the building façade is constructed, but the building suffers from noise. Increasing the number of integrated vertical and oblique images improves the accuracy of the products and provides considerable precision to 3D modelling. This study showed that the improved result is due to the increased redundancy in image matching and optimised parameters of interior orientation through self-calibration. The images are processed using Pix4D software.

<p>In Taiwan, the hydraulic structures of groundsill, check dam and embankment are frequently used in wild creek in order to prevent longitudinal and lateral scour. The benefit of these structures could not be numerically evaluated before construction without movable bed computational software. In recent years, the downstream scour-and-fill of hydraulic structures in wild creek could be carried out by software of River Flow 2D. This study used this software to evaluate the various setups of hydraulic structures in Jianshi, Hsinchu. Before carrying out software, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was operated to capture aerial photos of watershed. Then, the digital surface model (DSM) and orthomosaic photos were produced by Pix4Dmapper. Because most of wild creeks have no vegetation on their own creek bed, the DTM could be replaced by DSM. Associated with the various setups of hydraulic structures, Global mapper, QGIS and designed rainfall data, the software of River Flow 2D could give the downstream scour-and-fill of various setups of hydraulic structures. And, the convenient setup could be selected after evaluating the various setups of hydraulic structures.</p>

<p><a>To obtain an accurate digital surface model of the small watershed topography of a forested area while reducing time and labor costs, we used a consumer-grade unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a build-in real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system. The applicability of structure-from-motion (SfM) multi-view stereo processing with post-processing kinematic (PPK) correction of the positional coordinate data (the UAV-PPK-SfM method) was tested. Nine verification points were set up in a small (0.5 km<sup>2</sup>) watershed, based on a check dam in the headwaters of a forest area. The location information of the verification points extracted from the digital surface model acquired by UAV-PPK-SfM and the overall working time were compared with the corresponding location information and working time of a traditional field survey using a total station. The results showed that the vertical error between the total station and each verification point at an altitude of 150 m ranged from 0.006 to 0.181 m. The working time of the UAV-PK-SfM survey was 10 % of that of the total station survey (30 min). The UAV-PPK-SfM workflow proposed in this study shows that wide-area, non-destructive topographic surveying, including fluvial geomorphological mapping, is possible with a vertical error of ±0.2 m in small watersheds (<0.5 km<sup>2</sup>). This method will be useful for rapid topographic surveying in inaccessible areas during disasters, such as monitoring debris flow at check dam sites, and for efficient topographic mapping of steep valleys in forested areas where the positioning of ground control points is a laborious task.</a></p>

The term Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is often directly associated with the armed forces due to their widely-criticized use of such vehicles on the modern battlefield. However, with the advancement of UAV technology, the acquisition and operational cost of small civilian UAV have reduced while their functionalities have increased. Therefore, a wide variety of new civilian applications have emerged. Mapping industry has been benefited as affordable UAV can partially replace traditional platforms, such as helicopters and small aircrafts, for low altitude photography acquisition. Although relatively new to the industry, the use of UAV is rapidly commercialized and they are expected to have a sizeable impact on the mapping industry in the coming years. The aim of this work was to test the use of a low-cost UAV for orthophoto production and Digital Surface Model (DSM) creation, to be used for the design of a new 23km high voltage line of Electricity Authority of Cyprus.

Considering the high-level details in an ultrahigh-spatial-resolution (UHSR) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dataset, detailed mapping of heterogeneous urban landscapes is extremely challenging because of the spectral similarity between classes. In this study, adaptive hierarchical image segmentation optimization, multilevel feature selection, and multiscale (MS) supervised machine learning (ML) models were integrated to accurately generate detailed maps for heterogeneous urban areas from the fusion of the UHSR orthomosaic and digital surface model (DSM). The integrated approach commenced through a preliminary MS image segmentation parameter selection, followed by the application of three supervised ML models, namely, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree (DT). These models were implemented at the optimal MS levels to identify preliminary information, such as the optimal segmentation level(s) and relevant features, for extracting 12 land use/land cover (LULC) urban classes from the fused datasets. Using the information obtained from the first phase of the analysis, detailed MS classification was iteratively conducted to improve the classification accuracy and derive the final urban LULC maps. Two UAV-based datasets were used to develop and assess the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The hierarchical classification of the pilot study area showed that the RF was superior with an overall accuracy (OA) of 94.40% and a kappa coefficient (K) of 0.938, followed by SVM (OA = 92.50% and K = 0.917) and DT (OA = 91.60% and K = 0.908). The classification results of the second dataset revealed that SVM was superior with an OA of 94.45% and K of 0.938, followed by RF (OA = 92.46% and K = 0.916) and DT (OA = 90.46% and K = 0.893). The proposed framework exhibited an excellent potential for the detailed mapping of heterogeneous urban landscapes from the fusion of UHSR orthophoto and DSM images using various ML models.
