항공사진측량과 위성영상측량에서 거리측정정확도에 대한 연구의 필요성이 급증하고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구들에서는 표준편차와 제곱평균편차간은 물론이고 측정정확도와 측정정밀도간의 정의에 대한 경향성 있는 혼동된 이해가 들어있다. 따라서 본 연구는 항공사진측량과 위성영상측량에서 거리정확도에 관한 표준편차와 제곱평균편차간은 물론이고 측정 정확도와 측정 정밀도간의 관계에 대한 제한적인 정의를 제안한다. 실험결과는 제안한 정확한 정의가 거리측정 정밀도가 아닌 항공사진측량과 위성영상측량에서 거리정확도에서의 개선을 가져옴을 보여준다.

This study tried to analyze error range and resolution of drone images using a rotary wing by comparing them with field measurement results and to analyze stands patterns in actual vegetation map preparation by comparing drone images with aerial images provided by National Geographic Information Institute of Korea. A total of 11 ground control points (GCPs) were selected in the area, and coordinates of the points were identified. In the analysis of aerial images taken by a drone, error per pixel was analyzed to be 0.284 cm. Also, digital elevation model (DEM), digital surface model (DSM), and orthomosaic image were abstracted. When drone images were comparatively analyzed with coordinates of ground control points (GCPs), root mean square error (RMSE) was analyzed as 2.36, 1.37, and 5.15 m in the direction of X, Y, and Z. Because of this error, there were some differences in locations between images edited after field measurement and images edited without field measurement. Also, drone images taken in the stream and the forest and 51 and 25 cm resolution aerial images provided by the National Geographic Information Institute of Korea were compared to identify stands patterns. To have a standard to classify polygons according to each aerial image, image analysis software (eCognition) was used. As a result, it was analyzed that drone images made more precise polygons than 51 and 25 cm resolution images provided by the National Geographic Information Institute of Korea. Therefore, if we utilize drones appropriately according to characteristics of subject, we can have advantages in vegetation change survey and general monitoring survey as it can acquire detailed information and can take images continuously.

본 연구에서는 건물이 혼재한 준 도심 지역에서 발생할 수 있는 재난/재해를 가정하여 네트워크 RTK (Real Time Kinematic) 측위가 가능한 무인기를 이용한 항공삼각측량의 정확도를 평가하였다. 검사점 측위의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 검사점을 건물의 옥상에 설치하여 네 시간 이상의 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 정적 측위를 수행하였다. 객관적인 정확도 평가를 위해 소프트웨어에서 자동으로 인식 가능한 코드화된 대공 타겟을 사용하였다. 무인기에서는 네트워크 RTK 측위의 일종인 VRS (Virtual Reference Station) 방식을 이용하여 영상 취득 당시 카메라의 3차원 좌표를 측정하였고, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)와 짐벌 회전각 측정을 통해 카메라의 3축 회전각을 측정하였다. Agisoft Metashape를 이용하여 내·외부 표정요소를 추정·갱신한 결과, 항공삼각측량의 3차원 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error)는 영상의 중복도와 촬영 각도의 조합에 따라 크게는 0.153 m에서 작게는 0.102 m로 나타났다. 더욱 높은 수준의 항공삼각측량 정확도를 확보하기 위해서는 연직 영상의 중복도를 높이는 것이 일반적이나 경사 영상을 추가하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대응 단계의 재난/재해 현장에서 긴급하게 무인기 매핑을 수행할 경우 중복도를 높이기 보다는 경사 영상도 함께 취득할 필요가 있다.

We present a system for the real-time visual relative navigation of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in a GPS-denied environment. An extended Kalman filter is used to construct a vision-aided navigation system by fusing the image processing results with barometer and inertial sensor measurements. Using a mean-shift object tracking algorithm, an onboard vision system provides pixel measurements to the navigation filter. The filter is slightly modified to deal with delayed measurements from the vision system. The image processing algorithm and the navigation filter are verified by flight tests. The results show that the proposed aerial system is able to maintain circling around a target without using GPS data.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to aid the navigation of aerial vehicles. However, the GPS cannot be used indoors, so alternative navigation methods are needed to be developed for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying in GPS-denied environments. In this paper, a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) indoor navigation system and closed-loop control of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low-cost light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is presented. In order to estimate the pose of the vehicle equipped with the two-dimensional LIDAR, an octree-based grid map and Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) are adopted. The navigation results using the MCL are then evaluated by making a comparison with a motion capture system. Finally, the results are used for closed-loop control in order to validate its positioning accuracy during procedures for stable hovering and waypoint-following.

This paper introduces an experimental device which can measure accurate aerodynamic forces without support interference in wide experimental region for wind tunnel test of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A stereo pattern recognition (SPR) method was introduced to a magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS), which can eliminate support interference by levitating the experimental model, to establish wider experimental region; thereby MSBS-SPR integrated system was developed. The SPR method is non-contact, highly accurate three-dimensional position measurement method providing wide measurement range. To evaluate the system performance, a series of performance evaluations including SPR system measurement accuracy and 6 degrees of freedom (DOFs) position/attitude control of the MAV model were conducted. This newly developed system could control the MAV model rapidly and accurately within almost 60mm for translational DOFs and 40deg for rotational DOFs inside of $300{\times}300mm$ test section. In addition, a static wind tunnel test was conducted to verify the aerodynamic force measurement capability. It turned out that this system could accurately measure the aerodynamic forces in low Reynolds number, even for the weak forces which were hard to measure using typical balance system, without making any mechanical contact with the MAV model.

To enhance aerodynamic efficiency of the Smart Un-manned Aerial Vehicle(SUAV) during the transition period, wingtip fence is attached at the end of wing. The application of wingtip fence is to reduce the effect of the separated flow caused by the nacelle on the wing especially when the tilting angle of nacelle is more than 30 degrees. To compare the effect of with and without wingtip fence, flow visualization and measurement of the aerodynamic coefficients using the pyramidal type external balance are done. Result of forces and moments measurement shows that the slope of lift coefficient is increased 18% and rolling moment of SUAV especially 60 & 90-degree tilting is changed in favorable manners with wingtip fence.

To make an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) fly in indoor environments, the indoor locations of the UAV are required. One of the approaches to calculate the locations of an UAV in indoor environments is enhanced trilateration using one Bluetooth-based beacon and three or more access points (APs). However, the locations of the UAV calculated by the common chord-based trilateration has errors due to the distance errors of the beacon measured at the multiple APs. This paper proposes a method that corrects the errors that occur in the process of applying the common chord-based trilateration to calculate the locations of an UAV. In the experiments, the results of measuring the locations using the proposed method in an indoor environment was compared and verified against the result of measuring the locations using the common chord-based trilateration. The proposed method improved the accuracy of location measurement by 81.2% compared to the common chord-based trilateration.

제방선 지도화는 하천지역의 환경보호와 하천 범람 방지, 그리고 하천 개발에 있어 매우 중요하다. 라이다(LiDAR)와 항공 정사영상(aerial ortho-image)과 같은 원격탐사 데이터의 활용은 대상 지역에 접근하지 않고도 대상 지역에 관한 지형 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 점 때문에, 하천 지도화 작업에 효율적이다. 라이다 자료는 얕은 물을 관통하는 능력과 높은 수직 정확도 때문에 하천구역 지도화 작업에 활용되어 오고 있다. 영상자료의 활용 또한 영상처리 기법을 이용하여 여러 특징들을 추출할 수 있다는 점 때문에 하천 지도화 작업에 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 라이다와 항공 정사영상을 각각 활용하여 3차원 제방선 지도화 작업을 수행하였다. 그리고 지상 실측정보들을 통해 두 자료로부터 추출된 제방선들의 정확도를 측정하고, 두 측정 결과들을 비교한다. 통계적인 결과에서 나타나듯이 라이다를 활용하여 추출된 3차원 제방선이 항공 정사영상을 활용하여 추출된 3차원 제방선에 비해 수평 및 수직 정확도가 훨씬 더 높다는 것을 보여준다.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) is a powered pilotless aircraft, which is controlled remotely or autonomously. UAVs are currently employed in many military missions(surveillance, reconnaissance, communication relay, targeting, strike etc.) and a number of civilian applications(communication service, broadcast service, traffic control support, monitoring, measurement etc.). For accomplishing the UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is the path planning to maximize survivability for UAV based on 3-dimensional environment. A mathematical programming model is suggested by using MRPP(Most Reliable Path Problem) and solved by transforming MRPP into SPP(Shortest Path Problem). This study also suggests a $A^*PS$ algorithm based on 3-dimensional environment to UAV's path planning. According to comparison result of the suggested algorithm and SPP algorithms (Dijkstra, $A^*$ algorithm), the suggested algorithm gives better solution than SPP algorithms.
