ملخص

In the global warming background, glaciers around the world remarkably shrunk. Glacier monitoring is an important part of cryosphere science. High-quality DEM and DOM were the primary data in glacier research. In recent years, the rapid development of the technicality of UAV provided a new platform for observing glacier. The control point was usually unevenly distributed on glacier surface because of complex and inaccessible surface conditions. Thus, this study set 17 control points on the lower part of the Laohugou Glacier No. 12. Aerial photography images were acquired by low-altitude micro-UAV covered ice tongue. Pix4D Capture was used as route planning software, and all images and control points were processed by Pix4D Mapper software. In processing, different numbers and distribution modes were used, and the accuracy of every DEM and DOM were checked. Pix4D Capture has two route planning modes, namely, single grid and double grid. The two route planning modes have the same accuracy. In ice tongue, five control points are evenly distributed, and high precision image data could be obtained. If enough control points are distributed along with the main flow line of the glacier, then the image precision is acceptable. If the control points are mainly distributed at the mid-upper or mid-lower parts of the glacier, then control point should cover the fluctuation region of the ice surface.
