Today, UAVs, which help to produce data with remote sensing and photogrammetry techniques, were used for military purposes at first. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), which is a new sensor platform with the developing technology, has found many uses due to its fast, precise and repetitive measurement capabilities. In open mining areas, which is one of these areas, the topographic measurement problem emerges as a problem that needs to be overcome. The fact that the mine fields cover large areas, the measurements take a long time and are costly have made the use of UAVs a necessity. Aerial monitoring of open mining sites, together with the use of UAVs, is used in planning and calculations as an aid in areas such as mine production planning, blasting yield fields, determination of equipment locations, ore production and land application, volumetric calculations, monitoring of slope sensitivities and changes, security. It enables some data to be obtained quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. In this study, the structure of UAVs, the advantages of their use in open mining areas, their areas of use and their benefits for studies are explained.
