A landfill nearby the City of Magdeburg, Germany, was selected as
one of the test sites for the first application of the developed UAV. The
goal of the construction project was to re-cultivate the topsoil and create
a new surface profile for an area of 200 by 300 m. The landfill was
unobstructed from vegetation or any manmade objects. Heavy construction
equipment equipped with RTK GPS was utilized to maintain
very high accuracy in the earthmoving operation. The job was divided
into sections. At the end of every section detailed surveying was necessary
and required to measure progress and accuracy of the work that
had been performed.
