<abstract>
<p>The use of aerial imagery acquired by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is scheduled within the FoGLIE project (Fruition of
Goods Landscape in Interactive Environment): it starts from the need to enhance the natural, artistic and cultural heritage, to produce
a better usability of it by employing audiovisual movable systems of 3D reconstruction and to improve monitoring procedures, by
using new media for integrating the fruition phase with the preservation ones. The pilot project focus on a test area, Parco Adda
Nord, which encloses various goods&apos; types (small buildings, agricultural fields and different tree species and bushes). Multispectral
high resolution images were taken by two digital compact cameras: a Pentax Optio A40 for RGB photos and a Sigma DP1 modified
to acquire the NIR band. Then, some tests were performed in order to analyze the UAV images&apos; quality with both photogrammetric
and photo-interpretation purposes, to validate the vector-sensor system, the image block geometry and to study the feasibility of tree
species classification. Many pre-signalized Control Points were surveyed through GPS to allow accuracy analysis. Aerial
Triangulations (ATs) were carried out with photogrammetric commercial software, Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS) and
PhotoModeler, with manual or automatic selection of Tie Points, to pick out pros and cons of each package in managing non
conventional aerial imagery as well as the differences in the modeling approach. Further analysis were done on the differences
between the EO parameters and the corresponding data coming from the on board UAV navigation system.</p>
