Doubtless, the application of UAV is a new iteration of remote sensing technologies applied for obtaining information about the object of investigation. An opportunity of fast data acquisition for a large area of research provides to reduce the costs and expand the scope of application. One cannot deny that this approach is actual for geophysical methods of investigation, for aeromagnetic exploration particularly [[1]]. One should note here that process of adaptation of magnetometer sensors for UAV gets a new requ...

Gamma-ray spectrometry is one of the most important and informative methods for various geological surveys. In field geophysics on the surface or in the air, the method is used for regional geological zoning, mapping of bedrock outcrops, etc. The most promising direction of geological surveys today is research with the use of UAVs. Conducting gamma-ray spectrometry using UAVs is complicated by the need to accumulate a large number of measurements to construct the correct gamma-ray spectrum. From this point of view...

Active development of unmanned aerial vehicles has led to their widespread use for various purposes, and magnetic prospecting is no exception. UAVs in various modifications are used in aeromagnetic surveys intended for magnetic mapping of the subsurface. This allows to solve the problems of not only aeromagnetic prospecting (identification of ore deposits, petroleum prospecting, etc.), but also of geological engineering and archeology. The advantage of using UAV lies in the cheapness and safety of the survey. Magn...

Core analysis is obligatory when developing mineral deposits or estimating reserves. Coring is always accompanied by taking photographs of the samples. Today, these photographs can also be used for additional research. For example, it is possible to extract information about the optical porosity from photogrammetric data, carry out an automated lithological classification or determine other physical and chemical characteristics of rocks within the sampling interval. Photogrammetric imaging result is a digitally un...
