Abstract 

In the recent year, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) become a popular technology and is very useful for Digital Terrain Modelling and monitoring. With good UAV equipment and resources, this study is focus on the feasibility and adaptability analysis of the UAV techniques and its applications in open pit mining surveying. The first tests were developed in Belchatow open pit mine regarding the big data problem and data reduction aspect
