'''Unmanned Aerial Photogrammetric Survey''' is the use of [[Unmanned Aerial Vehicle]]s (UAVs) to take photos for use in [[photogrammetry]], the science of making measurements from photographs. Instruments manufactured for UAVs could be mounted on unmanned flying platforms of various sizes and types, such as [[octocopter]]s. These machines are suitable for the full [[geodetic survey]] of a study site by creating a point cloud of measurements of nearly homogenous quality and accuracy. These detailed point clouds (of various types of data) could be used in line with [[orthophoto]]s etc. to obtain a complex data system representing the study site.
