Abstract— In civilian applications, the utilization of quadcopters increasing quickly. Still, this deployment experiences some difficulties like flying vibration and instability which lead to inaccurate data of onboard sensors. Determining the size of such inaccuracy assists in improving the future design and provides more precise understanding of data measured in copter applications. This work introduces an implementation of a quadcopter using recently developed hardware and software components. An aerial imagery system was applied as a case study to evaluate the performance of the implemented quadcopter. The quadcopter was assembled mainly from F450 Flame Wheel frame kit, Aurdo-Pilot Mega APM 2.6 controller and a Mission Planner as ground station software. The picked up images were stitched and then compared with the available Google Earth images. Also, the dimensions of targeted buildings and GPS coordinates of certain points were measured on the aerial images. The accuracy of aforementioned dimensions and GPS coordinates in comparing with the actual measurements has been investigated. The clarity and measurement errors found on the taken aerial images were such acceptable that make the quadcopter usage for photogrammetry is quite possible to monitor the changes taking place on the ground such as affected areas and under construction sites.
