Recently, a drone is used for the general purpose application although the drone was builtfor the military purpose. A drone is actively used for the creation of contents, and an image acquisition. In this paper, we develop a 3D library module platform using 3D mesh model data, which is generated by a drone image and its point cloud. First, a lot of 2D image data are taken by a drone, and a point cloud data is generated from 2D drone images. A 3D mesh data is acquired from point cloud data. Then, we develop a service library platform using a transformed 3D data for multi-purpose uses. Our platform with 3D data can minimize the cost and time of contents creation for special effects during the production of a movie, drama, or documentary. Our platform can contribute the creation of experts for the digital contents production in the field of a realistic media, a special image, and exhibitions.

Various convergence technologies discovered through the 4th industrial revolution are permeating the industry. Drones are being used in industries such as construction, transportation, and national defense based on convergence technology. Quart-copter drone control is being used in a wide range of fields from the visual field of operation with the naked eye to the remote field of view using GCS. If we classify those who operate industrial drones, there are general pilots who directly use drones, instructors who train drone pilots, and mechanics who check the status of drones and use them for a long time. Depending on the shape of the screen of the drone GCS, a user's quick response or key data can be acquired. Accordingly, in this study, GUI characteristics were analyzed for the mission planner GCS and a screen composition method according to the user was proposed.

The issues were studied of an open-source scaling drone imagery platform, called WebODM. It is known that processing drone images has a high demand for resources because of many preprocessing and post-processing steps involved in image loading, orthophoto, georeferencing, texturing, meshing, and other procedures. By default, WebODM allocates one node for processing. We explored methods to expand the platform's capability to handle many processing requests, which should be beneficial to platform designers. Our primary objective was to enhance WebODM's performance to support concurrent users through the use of container technology. We modified the original process to scale the task vertically and horizontally utilizing the Kubernetes cluster. The effectiveness of the scaling approaches enabled handling more concurrent users. The response time per active thread and the number of responses per second were measured. Compared to the original WebODM, our modified version sometimes had a longer response time by 1.9%. Nonetheless, the processing throughput was improved by up to 101% over the original WebODM's with some differences in the drone image processing results. Finally, we discussed the integration with the infrastructure as code to automate the scaling is discussed.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (i.e., drone) are gaining a lot of interest from a wide range of application domains such as infrastructure monitoring and parcel delivery service. In those service scenarios, multiple UAVs are involved and should be reliably operated by so-called UAV management system. For that, we propose oneM2M standard based UAV management and control system which is specifically targeted at traffic management of low-altitude UAVs. In this paper, we include oneM2M platform architecture and its implementation for UAV management system in conjunction with UAV interworking procedure.

Interest and investment in drones that apply the concept of the 4th industrial revolution and ICT convergence advanced technology are continuing. The purpose of drone operation has been widely spread from the initial military use to the use of various industries such as construction, forestry, facilities, and agricultural support. In these industries, the training of pilots who can actually operate drones is increasing centering on the qualification system. However, the detailed standards including the training place, training place, educational environment, and education method for nurturing pilots are ambiguous, so the education through the oral instruction of the training instructor is continuing at the drone training site. In order to solve this problem, this study conducted a study on a dual control platform in which a training instructor could directly intervene in the pilot's flying drone to execute a map in order to improve the quality of synesthesia, which is essential in the field.

As real estate values rise, interest in cadastral resurvey is increasing. Accordingly, a cadastral resurvey project is actively underway for drone operation through securing work efficiency and improving accuracy. The need for utilization and management of cadastral resurvey results (drone images) is being raised, and through this study, a 3D spatial information platform was developed to solve the existing drone image management and utilization limitations and to provide drone image-based 3D cadastral information. It is proposed to build and use. The study area was selected as a district that completed the latest cadastral resurvey project in which the study was organized in February 2023. Afterwards, a web-based 3D platform was applied to the study to solve the user's spatial limitations, and the platform was designed and implemented based on drone images, spatial information, and attribute information. Major functions such as visualization of cadastral resurvey results based on 3D information and comparison of performance between previous cadastral maps and final cadastral maps were implemented. Through the open platform established in this study, anyone can easily utilize the cadastral resurvey results, and it is expected to utilize and share systematic cadastral resurvey results based on 3-dimensional information that reflects the actual business district. In addition, a continuous management plan was proposed by integrating the distributed results into one platform. It is expected that the usability of the 3D platform will be further improved if a platform is established for the whole country in the future and a service linked to the cadastral resurvey administrative system is established.

This paper describes analysis results of vibration characteristics and modal test for a small-scale quad-rotor drone. The rotor arm has a slender body with a propeller and motor at its tip. Rotor system generates excitation for an unbalanced mass. Therefore, the drone platform is involved in the possibility of resonance. For advance identification of the possibility of resonance, confirmation of eigen-mode being closest to the propeller operation range is necessary. Material properties of CFRP tubes used for the rotor arm were acquired by finding the natural frequency based on Rayleigh method. A simplified quad-rotor FE model consisting of rotor arm assembly with tip mass was built to perform numerical analysis, and a free-free boundary condition was applied to provide flight status. Modal tests for the actual platform with impact hammer instrument were performed to verify analysis results. Separation margin from hazardous eigen-mode was checked on the propeller operation range.
