When operating in big or hard-to-reach areas, traditional topographic survey methods can be costly, difficult to organize, and time-consuming. Some of these technologies use total stations and GPS on the ground and aerial photogrammetry done by planes or helicopters. We need a better and cheaper approach to collect geographic data fast. This article discusses employing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for topographic surveying, mapping, and updating data as one option. A DJI Mavic 2 Pro quadcopter drone with a 20-megapixel digital camera took photographs of the Wasit University campus from 125 meters above the ground. The pictures indicated a space of around 0.43 km², with 80% of the front and 70% of the sides overlapping. The research area was turned into an orthomosaic by Agisoft PhotoScan Professional. This was then loaded into ArcMap so that features may be taken out. By comparing the coordinates of fourteen Ground Control Points (GCPs) that we got using the Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) mechanism, we were able to get a reference positional precision of 0.050 m RMSE. The results of this study demonstrate that geospatial data obtained from UAVs, when augmented by Ground Control Points (GCPs), can produce and update comprehensive maps with accuracy comparable to RTK GNSS and Total Station methodologies. Many individuals use these methods for surveys of land, buildings, and engineering.
