Abstract
The article is devoted to the use of non-destructive testing and visual inspection methods using Uavs (drones) to assess damages of the TV Tower structure. The methodology is described including the use of aerial photography and photogrammetry method to create a 3D tv tower model and localization of damages. With the use of 3Df Zephyr software, a 3D model was built, which allowed setting the sizes of defects and classifying them. On the basis of the carried out examination, recommendations for prompt repair and restoration of the tv tower were developed to provide the safety of its operation. the presented results confirm the high potential of combining traditional methods of non-destructive testing with remote diagnostics based on the use of drones and photogrammetry for inspection of large-sized structures.
Keywords: UAV (drone), photogrammetry, non-destructive testing, 3D model, visualization, TV tower
