Remote sensing is one of the modern methods that have significantly developed over the last two decades and nowadays provides a new means for forest monitoring. High spatial and temporal resolutions are demanded for accurate and timely monitoring of forests. In this study multi-spectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images were used to estimate canopy parameters (definition of crown extent, top and height as well as photosynthetic pigment contents). The UAV images in Green, Red, Red-Edge and NIR bands were acquired by Parrot Sequoia camera over selected sites in two small catchments (Czech Republic) covered dominantly by Norway spruce monocultures. Individual tree extents, together with tree tops and heights, were derived from the Canopy Height Model (CHM). In addition, the following were tested i) to what extent can the linear relationship be established between selected vegetation indexes (NDVI and NDVIred edge) derived for individual trees and the corresponding ground truth (e.g., biochemically assessed needle photosynthetic pigment contents), and ii) whether needle age selection as a ground truth and crown light conditions affect the validity of linear models. The results of the conducted statistical analysis show that the two vegetation indexes (NDVI and NDVIred edge) tested here have a potential to assess photosynthetic pigments in Norway spruce forests at a semi-quantitative level, however the needle-age selection as a ground truth was revealed to be a very important factor. The only usable results were obtained for linear models when using the 2nd year needle pigment contents as a ground truth. On the other hand, the illumination conditions of the crown proved to have very little effect on the model’s validity. No study was found to directly compare these results conducted on coniferous forest stands. This shows that there is a further need for studies dealing with a quantitative estimation of the biochemical variables of nature coniferous forests when employing spectral data acquired by the UAV platform at a very high spatial resolution.

This work describes the practical implementation of the method for digital noise suppression during processing images containing ice information to recognize automatically the contours of «ice-water» objects during aerial photography. Images containing ice information have special characteristic structural features related to noise, e.g.granularity, glare, ice crumbs. This makes difficult or even impossible to recognize automatically the contours of ice-water objects. It is known that the success of the application of edge recognition methods depends on how much image noise is reduced. The paper discusses the construction method for the management of noise. The method is based on the sequential application of the Haar wavelet transform denoising using thresholding, clustering by k-means method. For the subsequent automatic construction of ice floes contours the Sobel operator is applied.The aim of the work is to develop a method capable to process digital images effectively that contain ice information with strong digital noise. In this work we treated the images of one-year ice containing strong digital image noise in the form of granularity and in the form of ice crumbs. A description of the features of each of the steps of the proposed method and practical application is given.As a result, the method was developed for processing images of ice information containing digital noise in absolute value commensurate with the basic data. It was noted that the use of the k-means method expands the scope. The k-rare method allows more detailed processing of ice information and distinguishes not only the contours of ice-water objects, but also the contours of ice crumbs.The conclusion formulates the main advantages of the method and the possible application of the algorithm in the process of local exploration of the ice conditions of the Northern Sea Route channel using unmanned aerial vehicle for aerial photography. The usage of unmanned aerial vehicle for aerial photography will increase the frequency of weather forecast updates and predict the appearance of ice objects at the ship’s heading. That will allow us to select the safest and most economical efficient route along the Northern Sea Route.The authors have no competing interests.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to analyze the quality of sowing operations (flaws, sifting), the completeness of seedlings based on multispectral images. The research was carried out in accordance with the purpose of implementing the scientific and technical program “Transfer and adaptation of precision farming technologies in the production of crop production on the principle of "demonstration farms (landfills)” in Kostanay region" in 2019. Methods. To perform monitoring work, an unmanned aerial vehicle of an airplane type was used; a multispectral (MS) camera equipped with sensors of the main channels. Agrotechnical requirements have been developed taking into account the data of the electronic map of fields and the specifics of the region. The analysis of the state of crops using an information and analytical resource was carried out. Results. A survey of agricultural crops was conducted in order to obtain data on the state of the fields by an unmanned aerial vehicle. Aerial photography was performed with the Make sense Red-Edge multispectral camera at an altitude of 300 meters. The survey was carried out over 19 fields in five spectral ranges: blue, green, red, extreme red, near infrared. Aerial photography data are the initial data for the construction of orthophotoplanes, digital surface models, 3D-models. After conducting a flyby of the territory, the general condition of agricultural land was analyzed. Measurements are made on the reference fields using a portable device – an N-tester. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that aerial photography of spring wheat, which is at the stage of 3–4 leaves, was carried out, which revealed changes in the NDVI value, which during the ground survey confirmed an increase in the degree of clogging by annual millet weeds of the selected areas.

The necessary sequence of stages has been developed and the unmanned technology for creating a digital elevation model by the example of the land use of Novosibirsk region has been implemented. The technology consists of a set of stages: reconnaissance of the terrain, fi xing reference signs, satellite measurements, aerial photography fl ights, processing the results of aerial photography and the construction of digital elevation model. The technological process was signifi cantly affected by unfavorable weather conditions - low clouds, gusty wind, high air humidity. Remote sensing study with the use of unmanned aerial vehicle of the Supercam S 250 F type made it possible to create a large-scale orthophotoplan and a digital elevation model on the farm territory (M 1 : 1000). For photogrammetric processing of digital data obtained on the farm, a two-stage method of satellite determination was used. The essence of this method was to obtain a large number of satellite measurements in a static mode and further statistical processing. For statistical processing of satellite measurements, information was used on the coordinate location of two base ground stations of the Novosibirsk Region satellite network - Kochenevo and Novosibirsk. Remoteness of support points from the ground satellite station of Novosibirsk was at a distance of over 90 km. As a result of equalization calculations, the obtained average square displacement errors of the planned and high-altitude position of the support points in various test sites were under 0.02 m in the plan, and under 0.03 m by height. In the process of photogrammetric processing of the results of aerial photography with the use of unmanned aerial vehicle, the tasks of transferring the position of points on a digital image in the pixel coordinate system into the coordinate system of the area, building digital irregular (TIN, Triangulated Irregular Network) and regular (DEM, Digital Elevation Model) surface models, and based on them, textured terrain models (TTM, Textured Terrain Model) and orthophotoplans, were solved.
