Recently, although the need of marine robots being raised in extreme areas, the basis is very deficient. Fortunately, as the robot competition is vitalizing and the need of the robot education is increasing, it is desirable to establish the basis of the R&D and industrialization of marine robots and to train professionals through the development and diffusion of marine robot kits. However, in conventional case, there is no remotely operated aerial robot-kit based on the balloon for the marine robot competition, which has the abilities of the airborne locomotion and obstacle avoidance. To solve this problem, an aerial robot-kit which has the abilities of the airborne locomotion and remote control, is developed. To verify the performance of the developed kit, test and evaluation such as surge, yaw and pitch is performed. The test and evaluation results show that the possibility of the real applications of the developed kit.

In many moving object detection problems of an aerial video, accurate and robust stabilization is of critical importance. In this paper, a novel accurate image alignment algorithm for aerial electronic image stabilization (EIS) is described. The feature points are first selected using optimal derivative filters based Harris detector, which can improve differentiation accuracy and obtain the precise coordinates of feature points. Then we choose the Delaunay Triangulation edges to find the matching pairs between feature points in overlapping images. The most "useful" matching points that belong to the background are used to find the global transformation parameters using the projective invariant. Finally, intentional motion of the camera is accumulated for correction by Sage-Husa adaptive filtering. Experiment results illustrate that the proposed algorithm is applied to the aerial captured video sequences with various dynamic scenes for performance demonstrations.

This paper covers research on terrain construction for unmanned aerial vehicle simulators using spatial information that was distributed by public institutions. Aerial photography, DEM, vector maps and 3D model data were used in order to create a realistic terrain simulator. A data converting method was suggested while researching, so it was generated to automatically arrange and build city models (vWorld provided) and classification methods so that realistic images could be generated by 3D objects. For example: rivers, forests, roads, fields and so on, were arranged by aerial photographs, vector map (land cover map) and terrain construction based on the tile map used by DEM. In order to verify the terrain data of unmanned aircraft simulators produced by the proposed method, the location accuracy was verified by mounting onto Unreal Engine and checked location accuracy.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) require collision avoidance capabilities equivalent to the capabilities of manned aircraft to enter the airspace of manned aircraft. In the case of Visual Flight Rules of manned aircraft, collision avoidance is performed by 'See-and-Avoid' of pilots. To obtain those capabilities of UAVs named as 'Sense-and-Avoid', sensor-system-based intruder tracking and collision avoidance methods are required. In this study, a multi-sensor-based tracking, data fusion, and collision avoidance algorithm is designed by using a model-based design tool MATLAB/SIMULINK, and validations of the designed model and code using numerical simulations and processor-in-the-loop simulations are performed.

무인항공기의 영상 기반 항법은 널리 사용되는 GPS/INS 통합 항법 시스템의 취약점을 보강할 수 있는 중요한 기술로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 일반적인 영상 대조 기법은 실제 항공기 비행 상황들을 적절하게 고려하기 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상기반 항법을 위한 가우시안 혼합 모델 기반의 파티클 필터를 제안한다. 제안한 파티클 필터는 영상과 데이터베이스를 가우시안 혼합 모델로 가정하여 둘 간의 유사도를 이용하여 항체의 위치를 추정한다. 또한 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 위치 추정 성능을 확인한다.

항공기의 임무수행 시간을 연장하기 위해 도입된 공중급유를 수행하기 위해서는 두 항공기간의 랑데부 기동이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 공중급유를 위해 가변 추적유도법칙을 이용한 랑데부 유도기법을 다룬다. 르야프노프 안정성 이론을 이용하여 가변 추적유도법칙 기반 랑데부 유도기법을 설계하였다. 제안한 유도기법은 두 항공기가 일정한 속력으로 비행하고 있을 때, 두 항공기 간의 헤딩각이 일치하도록 작동하여 랑데부 기동을 수행하도록 한다. 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 랑데부 유도기법의 성능을 검증하였다.

GPS(Global Positioning System) is widely used for the position estimation of an aerial vehicle. However, GPS may not be available due to hostile jamming or strategic reasons. A vision-based position estimation method can be effective if GPS does not work properly. In mountainous areas without any man-made landmark, a horizon is a good feature for estimating the position of an aerial vehicle. In this paper, we present a new method to estimate the position of the aerial vehicle equipped with a forward-looking infrared camera. It is assumed that INS(Inertial Navigation System) provides the attitudes of an aerial vehicle and a camera. The horizon extracted from an infrared image is compared with horizon models generated from DEM(Digital Elevation Map). Because of a narrow field of view of the camera, two images with a different camera view are utilized to estimate a position. The algorithm is tested using real infrared images acquired on the ground. The experimental results show that the method can be used for estimating the position of an aerial vehicle.

This paper proposes a recovering technique of the elevation map by stereo modeling of the aerial image sequence which is transformed based on the aircraft situation. The area-based stereo matching method is simulated and the various parameters are experimentally chosen. In a depth extraction step, the depth is determined by solving the vector equation. The equation is suitable for stereo modeling of aerial images which do not satisfy the epipolar constraint. Also, the performance of the conventional feature-based matching scheme is compared. Finally, techniques analyzing the accuracy of the recovered elevation map (REM) are described. The analysis includes the error estimation for both height and contour lines, where the accuracy is based on the measurements of deviations from the estimates obtained manually. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed technique.

연구목적: 다양한 목적으로 생성되는 무인비행체 기반의 공간정보를 서로 다른 SW로 생성하고, 정사영상 및 DSM의 위치정확도 분석과 3D mesh의 텍스처 매핑을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 서로 다른 두 개의 SW를 이용하여 동일한 무인항공영상 데이터를 처리하고, 공간정보를 생성하였다. 생성된 공간정보 중 정사영상과 DSM은 수평위치 및 수직위치 오차의 RMSE를 계산함으로써 정량적 분석을 수행하고, 정성적 분석을 수행함으로써 무인항공사진측량 SW의 공간정보 생성 결과를 비교분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과: 각각의 SW로 생성된 정사영상 및 DSM의 위치정확도에서는 큰 차이가 없었으며, 3D mesh의 텍스쳐 매핑에서 차이를 보였다. 3D mesh의 생성에는 무인항공사진측량 SW가 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 무인비행체 기반의 공간분석을 위한 정사영상, DSM의 생성에는 SW에 따른 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났으나 3D 가시화를 목적으로 할 경우에는 SW에 따라 텍스처 매핑 결과가 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.
