Abstract

A drone platform built by Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) is introduced. The platform consists of various drone systems developed at KIGAM for photogrammetry, remote exploration, physical exploration, field operation methods, a vehicle-based drone control center, as well as a drone data platform for data storage, sharing, analysis, and visualization of the acquired data. The performance of the drone platform is verified using results obtained with the various systems, which are tested individually and in various combined applications. Finally, the possibility of using the KIGAM drone platform for geological surveys and mineral resource exploration is discussed.

한국지질자원연구원에서 구축하고 있는 드론 플랫폼을 소개하였다. 구축중인 플랫폼은 사진측량, 원격탐사, 물리탐사 등을 위한 다양한 드론 시스템과 현장에서 각 시스템을 운용하기 위한 방안과 차량형 드론관제센터, 그리고 취득한 자료의 저장, 공유, 분석, 시각화 등을 위한 드론 데이터 플랫폼 등으로 구성된다. 구축한 드론 시스템의 개별적 적용 또는 복합적 적용을 통해 획득한 결과들로부터 그 성능을 검증하였으며 지질조사 및 광물자원탐사를 위한 KIGAM 드론 플랫폼의 활용 가능성에 대해 고찰하였다.
