Photogrammetric and remote sensing methods based on micro and mini UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are nowadays extremely interesting. These performances are due to the technological progresses in sensors miniaturizing, to the extreme portability of these aircrafts, to the easy driving also by not expert staff. Moreover, the cost much lower than the traditional remote sensing allows the possibility of frequent flights at low altitude also in impervious areas. This paper deals with the potentiality of using high-resolution multispectral image data acquired by UAV SR-SF6 in order to analyze on a temporal and spatial scale the extension of Phragmites australis (or Common Reed) localized in the south of Trasimeno Lake. The Phragmites australis influences considerably the ecological balance of the Lake. Indeed the epiphytic microorganisms in the submerged part contribute to both the metabolism of nutrients and the killing of bacteria (Bresciani et al., 2012).

Abstract
Photogrammetric and remote sensing methods based on micro and mini UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are nowadays extremely interesting. These performances are due to the technological progresses in sensors miniaturizing, to the extreme portability of these aircrafts, to the easy driving also by not expert staff. Moreover, the cost much lower than the traditional remote sensing allows the possibility of frequent flights at low altitude also in impervious areas. This paper deals with the potentiality of using high-resolution multispectral image data acquired by UAV SR-SF6 in order to analyze on a temporal and spatial scale the extension of Phragmites australis (or Common Reed) localized in the south of Trasimeno Lake. The Phragmites australis influences considerably the ecological balance of the Lake. Indeed the epiphytic microorganisms in the submerged part contribute to both the metabolism of nutrients and the killing of bacteria (Bresciani et al., 2012).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
