摘要

We present an integrated UAV–LiDAR workflow using the 3DT Scanfly LITE X mounted on a DJI Matrice 300 RTK for precision mapping in complex, vegetation-covered Mediterranean landscapes. The study details system preparation, flight planning, data acquisition, and post-processing, including PPK-based georeferencing and strip alignment, to produce high-quality point clouds and DTMs. Using surveyed ground control points, the dataset achieved an elevation RMSE of 0.025 m, within the manufacturer’s specification. We outline practical configuration choices (e.g., dual returns, 65% lateral overlap, 80 m AGL, 3 m/s) that balance coverage and detail, and we discuss common failure modes and mitigations. Beyond the platform and processing pipeline, we evaluate the mapping product through objective quality indicators linked to accuracy and interpretability for cultural-heritage applications. The workflow is transferable to other domains requiring detailed topography under canopy.
