In this paper proposed a method based on evaluation characteristics using reference points for cross-linking frames of images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles. We analyze multi-route (area) aerial photography, which allows you to get images of the area from several parallel routes. The model developed by the authors for detecting reference points of aerial photographs obtained from any type of survey equipment carrier can be used for a wide range of tasks related to the reconstruction of anthropogenic and natural objects and the construction of 3D models for architecture and topography based on digital images.
