The aerial application using an unmanned helicopter has been already utilized and an attitude controller would be developed to enhance the operational convenience and safety of the operator. For a preliminary study of designing flight controller, a state space model for an RC helicopter would be identified. Frequency sweep flight tests were performed and time history data were acquired in the previous study. In this study, frequency response of the flight test data of a small unmanned helicopter was analyzed by using the CIFER software. The time history flight data consisted of three replications each for collective pitch, aileron, elevator and rudder sweep inputs. A total of 36 frequency responses were obtained for the four control stick inputs and nine outputs including linear velocities and accelerations and angular velocities in 3-axis. The results showed coherence values higher than 0.6 for every primary control inputs and corresponding on-axis outputs for the frequency range from 0.07 to 4 Hz. Also the analysis of conditioned frequency response showed its effectiveness in evaluating cross coupling effects. Based on the results, the dynamic characteristics of the model helicopter can further be analyzed in terms of transfer functions and the undamped natural frequency and damping ratio of each critical mode.

본 연구는 무선조정 헬리콥터에 1000만 화소 카메라인 비측량용 카메라를 장착하였다. 그리고 상공에서 촬영되는 영상을 지상에서 제어하면서 중복도를 고려하여 촬영하였다. 획득된 영상으로부터 영상정합에 의해 불규칙 삼각망을 추출하여 수치표고모형(DEM)을 나타낼 수가 있었으며, 재래적인 측량방식인 Total Station에 의해 관측된 기준점 및 검사점과의 정확도를 비교 검토한 결과 X방향으로는 $-0.194{\sim}0.224m$, Y축으로는 $-0.088{\sim}0.180m$, Z축으로는 $-0.286{\sim}0.285m$ 정도의 오차를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 검사점에 대한 오차의 RMSE를 표현하면, X축 방향으로 0.021388m, Y축 방향으로 0.015285m, Z축 방향으로 0.041872m로 나타났다. 이러한 사진촬영 및 분석방법으로 기존의 Total Station 측량방법보다 더 많은 지형표고자료를 취득하는데 좋은 방법이라 판단된다.

This paper is introducing a radio control helicopter as a new platform of ground truth measurement. This helicopter is normally used for spraying an agricultural chemical. It can do pinpoint hovering and programing flight using DGPS etc., A spectrometer with dual port can measure ground surface and white reference plate at the same time. And it can also take digital images by digital camera. It is needed to collect ground reflectance information as satellite sensor footprint size for satellite data validation. Generally it is possible to get such ground reflectance by an airplane measurement. But it is high cost and not so easy to make a measurement by airplane. Developed validation system can provide such ground reflectance in low cost and easy.

The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) systems like unmanned autonomous helicopters are used in various missions of flight navigation and used to collect the environmental information of the surroundings. To realize the full functionalities of the UAV, the software part becomes a challenging problem. In this paper embedded real-time software architecture for unmanned autonomous helicopter is proposed that guarantee real-time performance of hard-real time tasks and re-configurability of soft-real time and non-real time tasks. The proposed software architecture has four layers: hardware, execution, service agent and remote user interface layer according to the reactiveness level for external events. In addition, the layered separation of concurrent tasks makes different kinds of mission reconfiguration possible in the system. An Unmanned autonomous helicopter system was implemented (Kyosho RC Helicopter) in our lab to test and evaluate the performance of the proposed system.

FMCW 방식의 헬기 탑재 레이다 고도계는 직하 방향의 지표면 반사신호의 크기에 대한 송수신 차의 주파수를 측정하여 고도정보를 추출한다. 그러나 넓은 안테나 빔 폭으로 인하여 빔 폭 내에 RCS가 큰 물체에 의한 반사신호가 수신되면 직하 지점으로 오인하여 고도 오차를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고도 측정의 오차를 야기시킬 수 있는 요인을 분석하기 위하여 삼면반사기를 이용한 기준 신호와 직하 방향 주변에 RCS가 큰 지형지물을 이용한 반사신호를 수집하여 주파수 영역에서 비교 분석하였다. 실험 분석결과는 향후 레이다 고도 정확도를 향상을 위하여 활용될 수 있도록 제시되었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of small RC(radio controlled) helicopter and single lens reflect camera as SFAP(Small Format Aerial Photography) aquisition system to monitor the vegetation coverage of wetland. The system used to take pictures of small artificial wetland were a common optical camera(Nikon F80 with manual lens whose focal length was 28mm) attached to the bottom of a RC helicopter with a 50 cubic inch size glow engine. Three hundreds pictures were taken at the altitude of 50m above the ground, from 23rd June to 7th September 2005. Four from the images were selected and scanned to digital images whose dimension were 2048${\times}$1357 pixels. Those images were processed and rectified with GCP(Ground Control Poins) and digital map, and then classified by the supervised- classification module of image processing program PG-steamer Version 2.2. The major findings were as follows ; 1. The final images processed had very high spatial resolution so that the objects bigger than 30mm like lotus(Nelumbo nucifera), rock and deck were easily identified. 2. The dominant plants of the monitoring site were Monochoria ragianlis, Typha latifolia, Beckmannia syzigachne etc. Because those species have narrow and long leaves and form irregular biomass, the individuals were hardly identifiable, but the distribution of population were easily identifiable depending on the color difference. 3. The area covered by vegetation was rapidly increased during the first month of monitoring. At the beginning of the monitoring 23th June 2005, The rate of area covered by vegetation were only 34%, but after 27 and 60 days it increased to 74%, and the 86% respectively.

When the data from the artificial satellite is analyzed, recent years it is perceived to vegetation index using BRF(Bidirectional Reflectance Factor) of the observation target. To make the BRF models, it is important to measure the 3D structure of the observation target actually. In this study, it is proposed to the observation technique by using laser scanning data. Also, our team has been operating the radio controlled helicopter which can fly over the tall forest canopy and it can be equipped the measurement system.
