Following the dramatic DANA of October 2024, the municipalities of Paiporta and Picanya were faced with the need to assess the impact of the event on critical areas such as the Barranco del Poyo. Among the main challenges were:
The SeaDron group of the Institute of Marine Sciences of Andalusia (ICMAN), oversaw flights with a DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone, equipped with the Zenmuse L2 sensor, executing 7 LiDAR flights. The captured data were initially processed with DJI Terra v4.3.0, generating a high-density point cloud and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at a 1:500 scale. Kinematic post-processing techniques with external GNSS bases were used to calculate trajectories, with the company ATyges providing technical assistance and advice during the data processing phase.
The 2015 Digital Terrain Model - DTM02, and the post-event aerial images of the Dana 2024 Special were also downloaded from the National Center for Geographic Information (CNIG).
The project demonstrated the usefulness of the technologies that transform complex data into accessible, high-value information for decision-making. Among the most outstanding benefits are:
