The latest advancement in technology provides UAVs with the ability to provide accurate positioning and highresolution images, making it a viable option to collect data for topographic survey works. The positioning of high-resolution images from UAVs can be highly accurate with the application of ground control points (GCPs). Furthermore, optimal flight altitude and overlap can be advantageous for orthophoto, digital surface model, and topographic mapping. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the impact of UAV flight parameters in large-scale topographic mapping. The objectives were (1) to investigate the effect of different numbers of GCP and its configuration on photogrammetric products; (2) to analyse the changes in different altitudes as well as overlap and sidelap percentages in photogrammetric image processing; and (3) to validate the photogrammetric products using the ground survey data and accuracy standards for topographic mapping. The investigation comprised three different numbers of GCP configurations (5 GCP, 6 GCP, and 7 GCP), altitudes (60 m, 80 m, and 100 m), as well as overlap (70%, 80%, and 90%) and sidelap (50%, 60%, and 70%) percentages. Ground Control Points (GCPs) and Check Points (CPs) were established using the Global Positioning System (GPS) via Real Time Kinematic (RTK). The data were obtained using Phantom 3 Pro with different flight parameters, which were processed using the Agisoft and PCI Geomatics software. The final photogrammetric products were analysed through accuracy assessment using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The outcomes demonstrated that the combinations tested, 5 GCPs at 80m altitude with 70% overlap and 50% sidelap; 6 GCPs at 60m altitude with 80% overlap and 50% sidelap; and 7 GCPs at 100m altitude with 70% overlap and 60% sidelap were proved to be the most effective in utilizing micro UAV flight parameters. These configurations excelled in creating an accurate, detailed topographic map that met the rigorous accuracy standards of either a 1:600 map scale or a 7.5cm accuracy threshold specified by the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) for digital geospatial data's positional accuracy. The outcome of this study can be used by any private or government agencies, including local authorities, to conduct mapping works at their respective area of interest. 2024 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/107129/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/107129/1/107129.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) College of Built Environment
