This study aims to propose a method that shall rapidly acquire 3D information of the fast and frequently changing city areas by using the images taken by the UAV photogrammetric method, and to develop the process of the acquired data. For this study's proposed UAV photogrammetric method, low-cost UAV and non-metric digital camera were used. The elements of interior orientation were acquired through camera calibration. The artificial 3D model of the artificial structures was constructed using the image data photographed at the target area and the results of the ground control point survey. The digital surface model was created for areas that were changed due to a number of civil works. This study also analyzes the proposed method's application possibility by comparing a 1/1,000 scale digital map and the results of the ground control point survey. Through the above studies, the possibilities of constructing a 3D virtual city model renewal of 3D GIS database, abstraction of changed information in geographic features and on-demand updating of the digital map were suggested.

Measurements of deflection in load testing of structures are typically obtained with contact instrumentations such as LVDT (Linear-Variable Differential Transformer). LVDT only measure 1-dimensional deformation and in destructive testing is damage to instrumentation, thus prohibiting deflection when the beam is close to failure. Measurements of deflection using non-metric digital cameras are useful for load testing because there are very little cost or beam failure except for cheap targets and measurements in 3-dimensional deflection can obtained rapidly. In this research, deflection of concrete beam was measured using Nikon D80 DSLR camera, and the accuracy was evaluated with comparing the outputs to the LVDT measurements. The results show that the accuracy of terrestrial photogrammetric measurements are ${\pm}$0.5mm, ${\pm}$0.5mm, ${\pm}$0.6mm for each X, Y, Z directions, and the RMSE of comparison to LVDT is ${\pm}$0.57mm.

The study installed non metric camera which was a 10 Mega Pixel camera in RC Helicopter. And the study controlled images hotographed in air on land, considering their overlap. The study could express DEM by abstracting TIN from the acquired images through image registration. Also, the study compared and examined accuracy between reference point and check point observed by Total Station which was a conventional type of survey. As the results, the study could get errors of $-0.194{\sim}0.224\;m$ on X axis, $-0.088{\sim}0.180\;m$ on Y axis and $-0.286{\sim}0.285\;m$ on Z axis. Expressing an error's RMSE in the checkpoint, the study could get of 0.021388 m on X axis, 0.015285 m on Y axis and 0.041872 m on Z axis. It is judged that the above photographing and analyzing technique are better than the existing Total Station to acquire more terrain elevation data.

This paper describes the result of study on measurement of displacement of structure by means of non-contacting method, close-range digital photogrammetry using digital camera. To apply close-range digital photogrammetry to displacement measurement of structure, correction of lens distortion that interferes geometrical analysis has been carried out and then measuring displacement was performed on load regulated-rahmen. For enhanced applicability of displacement measurement, MIDAS which is a structural analysis program was used for modeling and the result was taken from comparative analysis. As a result of the study, it is showed that close-range digital photogrammetry could supplement several weaknesses of LVDT and cable displacement meter and, especially, economy in the perspective of measuring time could be realized. Close-range digital photogrammetry using digital camera can be applied to the area where requires visual analysis such as 3D modeling of structure, profile replication of measurement of structure as well as measurement of displacement of structure.

In this paper, we studied on measurement of soil deformation around the tip of model pile by close-range photogrammetry. The rigorous bundle adjustment method was utilized to monitor the soil deformation in the laboratory model pile-load test as function of incremental penetration of the pile. Control points were installed on the frame of the laboratory model box case and more than 150 target points were inserted inside the soil around the model pile and on the surface. Four overlapping images including three horizontal and one vertical image were acquired by a non-metric camera for each penetration step. The images were processed to automatically locate the control and target points in the images for the self-calibration and the bundle adjustment. During the bundle adjustment, the refraction index of the acrylic case of the laboratory model was accounted for accurate measurement. The experiment showed the proposed approach enabled the automated photogrammetric monitoring of soil deformation around the tip of model pile.

The various studies and applications for UAVS(Unmaned Aerial Vehicle System) have been recently increased as a new technology to create 3D spatial information rapidly and accurately. UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is economical when comparing with conventional technique, such as satellite and aerial survey, and can quickly obtain high resolution data under 5cm. This paper examined the utilizing possibility to creating 3D spatial information and analysis the compatibility the UAV data obtained by non-metric digital camera with conventional numerical photogrammetric system. The DEM and normal orthophoto is created by exclusive S/W and DPW(Digital Photogrammetry Workstation) then analysis the accuracy of created data. As a result, the accuracy of the created DEM and normal orthophoto, which is obtained by UAV then processed by DPW, is not satisfied;so it is estimated that the compatibility the UAV data with conventional numerical photogrammetric system is low.

To evaluate the accuracy of UAV photogrammetry for Hyangho coast, eastern coast of Korea, we conducted a field experiment wherein UAV photogrammetry test was repeated three times. Since the Haygho coast is located within a military reservation zone, it was necessary to obtain permission to gain access to the beach and to have sensitive aerial photographs showing military facilities inspected and cropped. The standard deviation of the UAV shooting position between the three tests was less than 1 m, but repeatability of footprint on the ground was low due to wind-driven variability of the UAV pose. Self-calibrating bundle adjustment(SCBA) of implementing non-metric camera calibration was failed in one test. In two tests, the vertical error was twice as large as the pixel size except for those areas that were subject to security inspection and cropping. Given the problems that can arise with regard to the repeatability of the shooting area as well as the possibility of failure with regard to SCBA, we strongly recommend that UAV photogrammetry in coastal areas needs to be repeated at least twice.

In previous researches for iris feature extraction, they transform a original iris image into rectangular one by stretching and interpolation, which causes the distortion of iris patterns. Consequently, it reduce iris recognition accuracy. So we are propose the method that extracts iris feature by using polar coordinates without distortion of iris patterns. Our proposed method has three strengths compared with previous researches. First, we extract iris feature directly from polar coordinate circular iris image. Though it requires a little more processing time, there is no degradation of accuracy for iris recognition and we compares the recognition performance of polar coordinate to rectangular type using by Hamming Distance, Cosine Distance and Euclidean Distance. Second, in general, the center position of pupil is different from that of iris due to camera angle, head position and gaze direction of user. So, we propose the method of iris feature detection based on polar coordinate circular iris region, which uses pupil and iris position and radius at the same time. Third, we overcome override point from iris patterns by using polar coordinates circular method. each overlapped point would be extracted from the same position of iris region. To overcome such problem, we modify Gabor filter's size and frequency on first track in order to consider low frequency iris patterns caused by overlapped points. Experimental results showed that EER is 0.29%, d' is 5,9 and EER is 0.16%, d' is 6,4 in case of using conventional rectangular image and proposed method, respectively.

RIn this research, digital elevation models, true-ortho image and 3-dimensional digital complied data was generated and evaluated using unmanned aircraft vehicle stereoscopic images by applying photogrammetric principles. In order to implement stereoscopic vision, digital Photogrammetric Workstation should be used necessarily. For conducting this, in this study GEOMAPPER 1.0 is used. That was developed by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. To realize stereoscopic vision using two overlapping images of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the interior and exterior orientation parameters should be calculated. Especially lens distortion of non-metric camera must be accurately compensated for stereoscope. In this work. photogrammetric orientation process was conducted using commercial Software, PhotoScan 1.4. Fixed wing KRobotics KD-2 was used for the acquisition of UAV images. True-ortho photo was generated and digital topographic map was partially produced. Finally, we presented error analysis on the generated digital complied map. As the results, it is confirmed that the production of digital terrain map with a scale 1:2,500~1:3,000 is available using stereoscope method.
