Abstract

Purpose: The cadaster goes through its fifth wave of updating, seeking agility and efficiency in cadastral registration. However, despite recent advances in remote sensors and the low cost of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), on-site visits are still used to complete the cadastral form. Thus, this work aims to employ techniques and methodologies for remote characterization of buildings for cadastral updating purposes, reducing the need to enter the parcels. Design/methodology/approach: The research tools used were: RPAS and MMS (mobile mapping systems), making a three-dimensional model with RPAS data, and analyzing the results from these platforms. With the 3D model, it was possible to extract measurements and characteristics. Findings: The analysis of the 3D model with the aerial photographs obtained better results in the characterization of the buildings and is the most indicated according to the study. There were difficulties in identifying some features, such as windows frames, and it was proposed to analyze the photographs without processing, to mitigate these identifications. The cadaster form was successfully completed using a combination of the techniques in this study. Originality/value: This study brings a first proposal for the characterization of parcels for cadastral purposes, by remote sensing techniques, reducing the entry in the parcels for filling cadastral forms, with the evaluation of the proposal in the Brazilian case.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
