Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents an integrated approach to processing field geological survey data using GIS technologies. Integrated images from unmanned aerial vehicles (including multispectral), lidar scanning data. Highly detailed orthophotographs, digital relief models, and 3D models of the area under study were obtained, reflecting the complex structure of the outcrops. It is shown that the combined processing of photogrammetric, multispectral, and lidar data improves the accuracy of detecting geological structures compared with the disparate use of methods. The scientific novelty of the work is the application of an integrated approach to obtaining geospatial data based on a combination of aerial photography, lidar technologies and ground–based laser scanning andthe development of a single method for integrating heterogeneous data for geological mapping. The results can be used in the search for deposits of rare metals, engineering and geological surveys and monitoring of hazardous processes.
