Graphical resources have been usually employedin heritage assets research. Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer the possibilityto obtain images of complex and difficult access areas that cannot be observed on the ground.Furthermore, aerial images allow to analyse heritage assets as a whole. Therefore, in this work,different photographs and videos has been carried out in the San Joaquin sugar cane factory and inthe Aguila aqueduct, located in Nerja (Spain). These images have been used to analyse both assetsas a set. Different indirect measurements on the factory chimney and irrigation water pond weretaken. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) about the use of UAV graphicapplications in heritage assets was developed. Finally, the possibilities of conventional photographtechnologies and UAV application were compared. Using UAVs allows more image acquisitionpossibilities than conventional systems. However, both technologies can be complemented andapplied together when analysing heritage assets.
