Abstract: Aiming at the problems of existing UAV mapping systems,such as low accuracy,depending on takeoff and landing site,poor endurance and so on,a photogrammetric system based on unmanned helicopter has been designed and developed. With Phase camera,Applanix POS equipment integrated in the three-axis stabilized earth observation pod,the system has the advantages of vertical takeoff and landing, great loading capacity, strong endurance ability and high measurement accuracy. Test flights were carried out in Songshan remote sensing calibration field. The results show that the system owns high accuracy of direct geolocation, and so can be used for emergency mapping. With the participation of a small number of control points, the positioning accuracy of the system is far better than 1:500 mapping requirements, and the system can also be used for large scale mapping, which has important application value.

Key words: unmanned helicopter, optical pod, photogrammetry, Songshan calibration field, accuracy verification
