Abstract:
In recent decades geospatial technologies (GST) have been affected by a process of rapid development. One of their applications involves the documentation of the protected areas reference state and the development of high-quality models for their preservation and management. The research area of this paper is Lake Zmajevo oko (Lake Dragon eye), near Rogoznica (Croatia). The research goals were to create a multisensor model of the lake and present the application of these technologies for promotional purposes. The secondary objective was to obtain morphometric data about the lake. The research methodology included performing the process of UAV photogrammetry and bathymetry. In UAV photogrammetry, a Phantom 4 Pro was used. In the bathymetric survey, an integrated system composed of WASSP S3 multibeam depth sounder (MBES) and the Hemisphere V320 GNSS smart antenna was used. The data collected by both methods were combined and an multisensor high-quality model of the lake was created. Te
n underwater tunnels on the steep sides of the lake were detected. From the derived models, the volume and surface area of the lake, as well as the length of the lake shoreline were calculated. Furthermore, a virtual walk around the lake was made to promote this area. A physical model of the lake, which can serve as a souvenir, was printed with the 3D printer Prusa i3 MK3. The collected high-quality data can serve as the basis for future research, while derived models and a virtual walk can be used for its promotion.
