Abstract. With the rapid advancement of drone technology, its applications in the field of mapping have been continuously expanding in both scope and depth. Compared to traditional mapping techniques, drones have emerged as a critical tool for geographic information collection due to their efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. This paper focuses on widely used flight path planning methods for drones in the context of mapping and proposes an object-oriented three-dimensional(3D) flight path planning method, which enables more intelligent and precise flight path planning by integrating the characteristics of object features. Additionally, the study explores mapping techniques based on refined 3D models, where the refined models are utilized to generate various types of mapping products. The findings of this research offer novel solutions and promising development prospects for the drone-based mapping industry, paving the way for smarter, more accurate, and diversified mapping applications.
