Abstract Ho Chi Minh City, the largest urban agglomeration in Vietnam, is at the forefront of enabling the government’s efforts and advocating for smart city initiatives in the coming decades. To facilitate this advancement, the implementation of solutions to support the collection, construction, and updating of spatial databases is crucial. These databases serve as the foundational platform for effective urban management practices. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have witnessed significant growth across various domains, particularly in spatial data collection. However, challenges arise when acquiring and processing UAV images in urban areas. These challenges include orthomosaic distortion in certain regions, insufficient accuracy for creating extremely large-scale maps (e.g., 1:200 or 1:500), and unclear boundaries between adjacent objects. The objective of this paper is to present flight tests conducted at varying altitudes, with different shooting angles, and varying layouts of Ground Control Points (GCPs), both with and without the UAV’s RTK receiver mode. In order to improve the accuracy of UAV’s images, the results suggest that the precision of orthomosaic, Digital Surface Model (DSM) and point clouds in the context of 3D mapping depends on various factors, including: the determination of the optimal flight altitude, optimizing number of GCPs, selecting an appropriate level of image processing, capturing images from varied angles, and using UAVs with RTK or PPK data acquisition modes to mitigate image distortion. © 2024 Institute of Physics Publishing.
