Abstrakt: Recent flood events (FE) in Germany have shown that the extent and impact of extreme flood events cannot be estimated solely based on numerical models. For analyzing the development of such an event and to develop and implement safety measures more efficiently, additional data must be collected during the event. Within the scope of this research, the possibilities of near real-time recording using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and data processing with the Structure from Motion (SfM) method were tested in a case study. Different recording parameter combinations were tested in the Laufer Muehle area on the Aisch river in Germany. The focus of the investigations was the identification of a parameter combination that allows a short recording interval for aerial imagery. Based on these findings, the identification of changes in the study area by comparing multitemporal photography (flood prevention), as well as the recording of flooded areas during a FE should be possible. The accuracy analysis of the different parameter combinations between two point clouds as well as the process of change detection was done by a Multiscale Model to Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2) and including ground control points. As a result, a parameter combination was identified which led to the desired results in the study area. The processes were transformed into fully automated and scripted workflows. The results serve as a basis for establishing a workflow for near real-time analyses in future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
