If a dangerous situation arises in a place where out of reach from the human, UAVs can be used to determine the size and location of the situation to reduce the further damage. With this in mind, this paper sets the minimum value of the roll, pitch, and yaw using beta flight to detect the UAV's smooth hovering, integration, and derivative (PID) values to ensure that the UAV stays horizontal, minimizing errors for safe hovering, and the camera uses Open CV to install the Raspberry Pi program and then HSV (color, saturation, Brightness) using the color palette, the filter is black and white except for the red color, which is the closest to the fire we want, so that the UAV detects the image in the air in real time. Finally, it was confirmed that hovering was possible at a height of 0.5 to 5m, and red color recognition was possible at a distance of 5cm and at a distance of 5m.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial vehicle) could be effectively applied in a field of land monitoring for analyzing disaster area and mapping, because it can quickly acquire image data at low costs. For this reason, we reviewed the legal system related to mapping, and proposed suggestions for improving in legal system, due to introducing the UAV to Korean land-monitoring through this paper. Also, we evaluated spatial and time accuracy of the digital map, which are generated from UAV images that were taken for occasional map updates and disaster detections. As a result, the mean error is about 10m if only GPS/INS data used, while using GCP(Ground Control Points) it is about 10cm. Therefore, we conclude that the UAV could be effective method in korea land-monitoring field.

The ground integration test of Smart UAV has been performed according to the flight test plan. The flight test of full scaled model will be performed followed by 4 DOF ground rig test and a tethered hover test. Smart UAV is the first indigenous tiltrotor aircraft which can fly with fast cruise speed and take off or land vertically. In order to prove the flight control law of Smart UAV, the 40% scaled airplane was developed and have been tested. During flight test of small scaled model, many unique and unexpected problems occurred. After clearing these problems, fully automatic flight test was performed successfully. The experiences about many trouble shooting and resolving the problems would be basic material to avoid the unexpected but similar flight test problems hidden behind of the full scaled Smart UAV. This paper presents the detailed procedures of trouble shootings to solve the unique problems which occurred during the flight test of small scaled tiltrotor UAV.

Reservoir area and reservoir capacity must be evaluated for reservoir management such a water supply, water-purity control and so on. In this paper, the reservoir area and reservoir capacity according to the level of storage range of water(149~156 El.m) could be calculated by using TIN data model of study area, Gyoyeon reservoir, TIN data model was made of DSM which was created by using UAV and GCP survey. From the results of applying the various functions to reservoir area and capacity, reservoir area and reservoir capacity according to the level of storage range of water showed the highest coefficient of determination of 0.97 in fourth-order polynomial, and 0.99 in second-order polynomial, respectively. Thus, it could be expected the efficient reservoir management by estimating reservoir area and capacity curve equation through UAV photogrammetry.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) system has been mainly used for military domains, but it also widely applied to used in the civilian domains. In civilian domains, low-cost and small-sized UAV systems are mainly applied in various industries. The software that operates UAV systems has a lot of common functions. However, even though there are many common functionalities of the software, changing the devices may cause a problem requiring software modification. These problems degrade interoperability, modularity and portability in UAV systems. In order to solve the problems, an Open System Architecture(OSA) has been proposed. In this paper, we propose a UAV system software architecture based on Future Airborne Capability Environment(FACE) standard. Our system can support UAV systems of various platforms in the civilian domains, which is supplied in small quantity batch production. And it has the advantages of software consolidation and portability. Finally, We describe the development and conformant methodology of the software based on the FACE standard using open development tools.

In order to effectively prevent and respond to disasters, several techniques have been developed in which the pilot wearing a see-through Head Mounted Display (HMD) performs disaster-related rescue activities using images transmitted from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). However, these techniques have limitations in quickly determining and executing tasks appropriate to the on-site situation because the pilot cannot recognize the entire field in an integrated manner. In order to overcome these problems, we propose an AR based-interface technique that allows the rescuer wearing a see-through HMD to operate a UAV efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed interface technique allows the rescuer wearing a see-through HMD to control the gimbal and flight of the UAV at a high speed based on finger gestures in a visibility situation.

무인항공기란(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle : UAV)란 일반적으로 조종사 없이 사전에 입력된 프로그램에 따라 또는 비행체 스스로 주위환경(장애물, 항로)을 인식하고 판단하여 자율 비행(Autonomous Flying)하는 비행체를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 항법센서(Attitude Heading Referance System: AHRS)를 비행제어 시스템과 통합한 시스템에 관하여 다루었다.

For the purpose of fault detection of the primary control surface, real-time estimation of the longitudinal stability and control derivatives of the DURUMI-II using the flight data is considered in this paper. The DURUM-II, a research UAV developed by KARI, is designed to have split control surfaces for the redundancy and to guarantee safety during the fault mode flight test. For fault mode analysis, the right elevator was deliberately fixed to the specified deflection condition. This study also mentions how to implement the multi-step control input efficiently, and how to switch between the normal mode and the fault mode during the flight test. As a realtime parameter estimation technique, Fourier transform regression method was used and the estimated data was compared with the results of the analytical method and the other available method. The aerodynamic derivatives estimated from the normal mode flight data and the fault mode data are compared and the possibility to detect the elevator fault by monitoring the control derivative estimated in real time by the computer onboard was discussed.

In this paper, we describe the design and performance of UAV system toward compact and fully autonomous quadrotors, where they can complete logistics application, rescue work, inspection tour and remote sensing without external assistance systems like ground station computers, high-performance wireless communication devices or motion capture system. we propose high-speed hovering flyght height control method based on state feedback control with image information from active camera and multirate observer because we can get image of the information only every 30ms. Finally, we show the advantages of proposed method by simulations and experiments.

본 논문에서는 무인항공기의 비행제어시스템 개발 및 성능분석을 위한 HILS(Hardware-in-the-Loop-Simulation) 시스템의 구축을 제안한다. 제안한 HILS 시스템은 실시간 시뮬레이션 컴퓨터(dSPACE DS1005), 3축 모션테이블, 자세 센서, 지상통제장치(GCS; Ground Control Station), 비행제어컴퓨터(FCC; Flight Control Computer)로 구성된다. 실제 신호와 유사한 신호를 발생시키기 위한 실시간 시뮬레이션 컴퓨터는 dSPACE가 담당하며, 이 신호는 비행운동을 재현을 위한 3축 모션테이블을 동작시키게 된다. 모션테이블 상에 위치하는 자세센서 값과 GCS의 명령은 FCC의 입력으로 사용된다. 구현된 HILS 시스템을 이용하여 UAV의 제어알고리즘 및 자세센서 성능 검증을 수행하였다.
