Abstract

In this paper the benefits of integration of UAV-mounted (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) thermal camera and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) are analysed. As an example we analized a district heating pipeline in a part of university campus in Novi Sad. Thermal camera mounted on UAV enables fast mapping of routes. These data are then used to detect critical zones where leaking or some other problem occurs and to validate utility cadastral data. Detailed inspection of zones is done using GPR scanning. This provides data such as geometry, precise location of damage, etc. In the last section of the paper advantages of non-invasive detection of district heat line combining active and passive sensors with UAV are explained.
