Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a surveying tool are mainly characterized by a large amount of data and high computational cost. This research investigates the use of a small amount of data with less computational cost for more accurate three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetric products by manipulating UAV surveying parameters such as flight lines pattern and image overlap percentages. Sixteen photogrammetric projects with perpendicular flight plans and a variation of 55% to 85% side and forward overlap were processed in Pix4DMapper. For UAV data georeferencing and accuracy assessment, 10 Ground Control Points (GCPs) and 18 Check Points (CPs) were used. Comparative analysis was done by incorporating the median of tie points, the number of 3D point cloud, horizontal/vertical Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and large-scale topographic variations. The results show that an increased forward overlap also increases the median of the tie points, and an increase in both side and forward overlap results in the increased number of point clouds. The horizontal accuracy of 16 projects varies from ±0.13m to ±0.17m whereas the vertical accuracy varies from ± 0.09 m to ± 0.32 m. However, the lowest vertical RMSE value was not for highest overlap percentage. The tradeoff among UAV surveying parameters can result in high accuracy products with less computational cost.
