The author tried to propose the orthographic and DTM (digital terrain model) creation and evaluate the accuracy for an university campus using UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) system. Most previous studies used GPS-based data, but in this paper, the observations of triangulation level measurements was used for comparison of accuracy. Accuracy analysis results showed that the operational requirements for aerial photographic standards are satisfied in all scenaries. The author confirmed availability in aviation photo measurements and applications using UAV (Drone). In order to create a sophisticated DTM and contour, we need to eliminate interference from building, trees, and artificial objects. The results of this study are expected to be used as the basis for future studies in the creation of DTM and the accuracy assessments using Drone.

Coastal erosion happens frequently in many different types. To control coastal erosion zone effectively and establish response plans, we need to accumulate data indicating topography changes through monitoring the erosion situation continuously. UAV photogrammetric systems, which can fly autonomously at a low altitude, are recommended as an economical and precision means to monitor the coastal zones. In this study, we aim to verify the accuracy of the generated orthoimages and DEM as a result of processing the UAV data of a coastal zone by comparing them with various reference data. We established a verification routine and examined the possibilities of applying the UAV photogrammetric systems to monitoring coastal erosion by checking the analyzed accuracy by the routine. As a result of verifying the generated the geospatial information from acquired data under various configurations, the horizontal and vertical accuracy (RMSE) were about 2.7 cm and 4.8 cm respectively, which satisfied 5 cm, the accuracy required for coastal erosion monitoring.

Between 1998 and 2010, the computerization of underground facilities was completed in 84 cities. Since 2011, new pipelines have been laid or existing pipelines have been maintained, renovated, and renewed. To measure the exact location and depth of the exposure pipe, a map of underground facilities was created before filling the ground. This method is based on the time when the underground facilities of the National Geographic Information Institute Regulation No. 134 of the National Geographic Information Office revised in 2010 were drafted. The process of the drone taking the video is based on a theoretical basis of ground control points. The method works by removing all ground control points located outside of the error range and re-processing it for calculating the best result. Furthermore, using a drone-based spontaneous measuring method allows workers to obtain a high accuracy underground facilities map in error bound. The proposed method could be used as a new way to standardize the processing.

The mud flat in Korea is the geographical feature generated from the sediment of rivers of Korea and China and it is the important topography for pollution purification and fishing industry. The mud flat is difficult to access such that it requires the aerial survey for the high-resolution spatial information of the area. In this study we used drones instead of the conventional aerial and remote sensing approaches which have shortcomings of costs and revisit times. We carried out GPS-based control point survey, temporal image acquisition using drones, bundle adjustment, stereo image processing for DSM and ortho photo generation, followed by co-registration between the spatio-temporal information.

In this study, the operation method and accuracy of Terrestrial Laser Scanner(TLS) are reviewed and discussed by experimental measurements, and guidelines of TLS surveying operation are proposed. Ground control points and TLS station points were measured by TS and/or GPS, in TLS observation experiments, and wood targets were used which designed by this study team. RMSE accuracy of TLS scan shows that TLS surveying operation can be used in the topographic mapping of 1/250 scale and level of 1/100 BIM, the drone data also used in TLS data completeness. Additionally, as the results of the field experiment, the guidelines for TLS surveying operartions were proposed.

High voltage power transmission lines have been to keep the proper dip for maintenance. Powerline dips at a random point are conventionally measured by the direct or indirect observation but it is not only unsafe but labor-intensive. Therefore in this study we applied the photogrammetric technique to remotely measure the powerline dips. Since it is not easy to extract conjugate points from linear powerlines, we exploited the epipolar lines acrossing the powerlines for 3D mapping of the powerlines and dip measurements. The vertical mapping accuracy estimated at two field-surveyed power line points was 15~16cm that are within 5% of deflection at the points and less than 3% of the powerline dip.

최근 기후변화에 따른 태풍과 국지성 집중호우의 증가로 국토의 64%가 산지인 우리나라에서는 재해의 위험성을 증가시키고 있다. 재해 분석에 있어 기초자료로 사용되는 지형자료의 정확도는 재해분석결과에 있어 중요하며, 지형촬영방법에 따라 정확도의 차이가 매우 크다. 지형자료 중 하나인 DEM(Digital Elevation Model) 활용분야 또한 확대되고 있고 지도제작에 있어 DEM을 사용하면 지형도를 신속히 제작할 수 있고, 편집 용이, 수작업 인원 감축, 정확도 향상 및 데이터베이스의 구축이 이루어져 체계적으로 종합적인 지형정보를 관리할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지상 LiDAR를 이용하여 생성한 DEM은 매우 정확한 방법이며, 접촉식 측량장비에 비하여 누락되는 데이터가 적으며 정밀하게 자료를 수집가능 한 것이 장점이다. 지상LiDAR를 이용한 자료 취득 시식생과 구조물에 의해 촬영 각도가 제한되는 경우 충분한 자료를 얻기 위해 여러 위치에서 스캔이 필요하다. 한편 전 세계적으로 드론의 도입으로 인해 다양한 분야에서 높은 가능성을 가지고 활용되고 있는 실정이며, 드론을 이용한 연구들도 활발히 진행 중이다. 소규모 및 중간 규모의 하천, 산지 등의 현장 조사의 경우 LiDAR장비의 진입이 어려운 구간의 촬영 시 드론을 활용하면 보다 효율적일 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 지상LiDAR와 드론을 이용하여 얻은 DEM 자료를 비교 분석하여 드론으로 생성된 DEM 자료 활용 가능성 여부를 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 지역에 지상LiDAR와 드론 촬영을 실시하여 지형자료를 각각 획득한 후 후처리 프로그램을 이용하여 영상분석을 실시하였다. 또한 측점을 선정한 후 지형 좌표의 편차, 표고의 편차 등을 비교분석하였다.

영상을 이용하여 하천유속과 유량을 측정하는 방법은 신속하고 간결하게 유속을 측정할 수 있는 방법으로 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 새로운 기술인 드론을 활용하여 하천의 유속과 유량을 측정하는 방법도 다양하게 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 드론을 정지영상과 동영상을 이용하여 별도의 측량이나 복잡한 과정없이도 하천의 유속분포를 추정할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 이 때, 중소하천의 유속 측정에 보다 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록 카메라 보정을 통한 카메라 내부변수 획득과 정지영상에 수록된 드론의 위치와 자세에 대한 EXIF 자료를 이용하는 방안, 약간의 흔들림이 있는 영상에서도 유속을 추정하는 방안을 제안하였다. 먼저, 드론의 카메라 보정을 위한 프로그램을 작성하고, 카메라의 내부 변수를 추정하였다. 드론의 위치와 자세에 대한 정보는 정지영상(JPG 파일)에 수록된 EXIF 정보를 이용하여 드론의 위치(GPS)와 자세(자이로스코프)를 알아내었다. 이를 이용하여 현장의 참조점에 대한 위치 정보를 확인하고, 또 수면촬영을 위한 정지비행시의 카메라의 대략의 위치와 자세 정보를 확인하였다. 이 자료들은 실제 유속측정에 이용하는 동영상에서 나타나는 참조점의 위치 정보를 결정하기 위한 것이다. 그리고 연이어 촬영된 동영상에서 시공간영상분석법으로 측정 단면의 유속분포를 분석하였다. 이 때, 동영상 내에 있는 약간의 흔들림은 FFT 분석으로 적절히 보완할 수 있다. 개발된 방법을 밀양강의 단장천 대리 수위표 지점 인근에서 시험한 결과 기존의 유속계로 측정한 방법과 상당히 근사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Recently, multispectral cameras are being actively utilized in various application fields such as agriculture, forest management, coastal environment monitoring, and so on, particularly onboard UAV's. Resultant multispectral images are typically georeferenced primarily based on the onboard GPS (Global Positioning System) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)or accurate positional information of the pixels, or could be integrated with ground control points that are directly measured on the ground. However, due to the high cost of establishing GCP's prior to the georeferencing or for inaccessible areas, it is often required to derive the positions without such reference information. This study aims to provide a means to improve the georeferencing performance of a multispectral camera images without involving such ground reference points, but instead with the simultaneously onboard high resolution RGB camera. The exterior orientation parameters of the drone camera are first estimated through the bundle adjustment, and compared with the reference values derived with the GCP's. The results showed that the incorporation of the images from a high resolution RGB camera greatly improved both the exterior orientation estimation and the georeferencing of the multispectral camera. Additionally, an evaluation performed on the direction estimation from a ground point to the sensor showed that inclusion of RGB images can reduce the angle errors more by one order.
