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.

In this study, cutting slope's digital image has acquired by using video camera attached at RC helicopter. Resulted RMSE from image processing was approximately x-direction 0.27m, y-direction 0.23m and z-direction 0.35m. Application of these methods makes it convenient that acquisition of digital image about before and after the construction work of road cutting slope. Also systematical cutting slope's information acquisition will be possible by cutting slope's quantitative and qualitative analysis.

In this study, the method of extracting DEM is presented using RC Helicopter Photogrammetry System. From the result of reference points and checkpoints using Total Station which is conventional type of survey, the errors turned out to $-0.194{\sim}0.224m$ on the X-axis, $-0.088{\sim}0.180m$ on the Y-axis and $-0.286{\sim}0.283m$ on the Z-axis when RC Helicopter Photogrammetry System utilized. Through this RC Helicopter Photogrammetry System, they can provide efficient update of digital map on toparchy area or access is not easy area.

This study proposed detection method of Marine debris using unmanned aerial photography. For unmanned aerial photography, a RC(Radio Control) helicopter which has good movability and economics was used. To a camera mounting, a gimbal equipment was attached to the bottom of the RC helicopter. The gimbal equipment is very useful because it is not seriously affected by vibration and rolling. In addition, we invented that digital image processing algorithm using Matlab program for detection of marine debris from photographs. Particularly, background subtraction in invented algorithm was applied. As a result, marine debris of a variety of forms from different sand states of coast were reliably detected. In the future, monitoring using proposed method was expected to contribute that the solution to representative problem of monitoring area selecting and estimate the total litter mass over the beach. Moreover, It is considered a greater application possibility to marine environmental observations.
