Earthwork volume calculation is a fundamental process in civil engineering and construction, requiring high-precision terrain data to assess ground stability encompassing load-bearing capacity, susceptibility to settlement, and slope stability and to ensure accurate cost estimation. However, seasonal and environmental constraints pose significant challenges to surveying. This study employed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) mapping to evaluate the accuracy of digital terrain model (DTM) generation and earthwork volume estimation in densely vegetated areas. For ground extraction, color-based indices (excess green minus red (ExGR), visible atmospherically resistant index (VARI), green-red vegetation index (GRVI)), a geometry-based algorithm (Lasground (new)) and their combinations were compared and analyzed. The results indicated that combining a color index with Lasground (new) outperformed the use of single techniques in both photogrammetric and LiDAR-based surveying. Specifically, the ExGR–Lasground (new) combination produced the most accurate DTM and achieved the highest precision in earthwork volume estimation. The LiDAR-based results exhibited an error of only 0.3% compared with the reference value, while the photogrammetric results also showed only a slight deviation, suggesting their potential as a practical alternative even under dense summer vegetation. Therefore, although prioritizing LiDAR in practice is advisable, this study demonstrates that UAV photogrammetry can serve as an efficient supplementary tool when cost or operational constraints are present.

본 연구에서는 건설현장 내 지반산정 중 필수적인 과정인 토공량 산정을 위해 이동식 GNSS (Differential-Global Navigation Satellite System, D-GNSS) 기지국과 RTK (Real-Time Kinetic)-UAV를 기반으로 수행한 사진측량과 LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) 센서로 취득하여 산정된 체적을 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 측량 성과와 비교하여 객관적인 정확도 비교평가를 진행하였다. 연구대상지는 경상북도 상주시 화서면 상용리 312에 위치한 농업용 상용저수지 사면 일대로 선정하였으며, RTK-UAV를 이용하여 사진측량을 진행한 경우와 LiDAR 센서를 이용해 취득한 경우를 비교한 결과 각각 95.7 %, 94.4 %의 정확도를 나타냈다. 이를 통해 지상기준점 (Ground control points, GCPs)과 검사점 (Check Points, CPs)을 활용한 경우뿐만 아니라 RTK 스테이션을 단독으로 활용한 무인항공기 기반 촬영 방식이 실제 건설현장 내 토공량 산정 과정에 적용할 수 있다는 가능성을 보여주었다. 또한, GNSS 기준국만 현장에 설치하면 지상 기준점과 검사점의 설치 없이도 해당 방식이 많은 시간 및 인적자원 절감에 기여한 효율적이고 경제적인 토공량 산정에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
