Digital environment models are gaining importance in various fields of application. High-resolution digital models of the current environment structure can facilitate planning manufacturing plants or allow monitoring construction processes precisely. While systems for the fully automated capturing of terrain structures are already in use in outdoor areas, the digitisation process in indoor areas is usually carried out manually. Since global navigation satellite systems are not available in complex indoor areas, other solutions for robust and precise autonomous localization and navigation have to be used and validated. Furthermore, it is more intricate to ensure that all required areas and structures are taken into account with sufficient accuracy during the capture process. Within this paper, we present a fully automated system for data acquisition and digitisation of complex indoor environments. Using an autonomous unmanned aircraft equipped with a suitable sensor system, intelligent algorithms for navigation, exploration and photogrammetric reconstruction, a previously unknown environment is autonomously explored and a three-dimensional model is reconstructed. Extending the related research, we demonstrate that also within indoor environments unmanned aircraft are applicable for the autonomous acquisition of images for photogrammetric reconstruction. Within the evaluation, we validate the functionality of the overall system and the accuracy of the resulting point clouds of the environment.
