EXPERIENCES OF MANNED AEROCARTOGRAPHIC SURVEYS IN CUBA

Abstract

The work reviews the experiences achieved in the realization of manned aerocartographic surveys in Cuba. During the research, historical data of this activity in the country were collected, which include not only the technologies used in its realization, such as: analog cameras, digital cameras, up to the airborne laser scanner (LiDAR); but also the different models of aircraft in which they have been and are located. The article chronologically collects the background, evolution and experiences achieved in Cuba in the realization of manned aerocartographic surveys, highlighting that the realization of these surveys presents a lot of strength and that many are also the countries -including ours- that carry out their research and projects using these technologies. The main limitation that could be pointed out to this characterization is that it concludes in the year 2022, so it is advisable in the future to continue investigating and conducting research on this topic.
