The current drone flight plan creation creates a flight path point of two-dimensional coordinates on the map and sets an arbitrary altitude value considering the altitude of the terrain and the possible flight altitude. If the created flight path is a simple terrain such as a mountain or field, or if the user is familiar with the terrain, setting the flight altitude will not be difficult. However, for drone flight in a city where buildings are dense, a safer and more precise flight path generation method is needed. In this study, using high-precision spatial information, we construct a drone safety flight map with a 3D grid map structure and propose a flight path search algorithm based on it. The safety of the flight path is checked through the virtual drone flight simulation extracted by searching for the flight path based on the 3D grid map created by setting weights on the properties of obstacles and terrain such as buildings.

Drones are controlled by the remote pilot from the ground stations using the radio control or autonomously following the pre-programmed flight plans. In this paper, we develop a method and an optimal path search system for providing 3D augmented reality flight (ARF) images for safe and efficient flight control of drones. The developed system consisted of the drone, the ground station and user terminals, and the optimal path search server. We use the Dijkstra algorithm to find the optimal path considering the drone information, flight information, environmental information, and flight mission. We generate a 3D augmented reality flight (ARF) image overlaid with the path information as well as the drone information and the flight information on the flight image received from the drone. The ARF image for adjusting the drone is generated by overlaying route information, drone information, flight information, and the like on the image captured by the drone.

현재 항공기 조종사들이 사용하고 있는 항공기동 도해도 방법은 2차원 공간 표현만을 사용하여, 3차원 정보 입력 시 한계가 있고 이를 직관적으로 이해하는 것이 어렵다. 이를 위해 도입된 항공기동 애니메이션 저작도구들은 사용법이 복잡하고 중간에 비행경로를 수정하거나 다수 비행객체들의 전투 상황을 실시간으로 인터렉티브하게 다룰 수 없다. 본 연구는 항공기동 교육을 위한 애니메이션 시스템 중 3차원 항공경로 생성방법에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2D 도해도에 스케치된 초기 입력과 실제 항공기 추력을 계산하여 실제 비행과 유사한 3차원 선형 스플라인 곡선을 생성해 낸다. 제안하는 선형 스플라인 곡선 생성 방법을 이용하여 항공기동 브리핑 및 디브리핑 시에 비행경로를 실시간으로 생성 및 수정하는 것이 가능하고 이를 애니메이션으로 즉시에 표현할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a 3D LiDAR sensor-based costmap generation and path planning algorithm using it for reliable autonomous flight in complex indoor environments. 3D path planning is essential for reliable operation of UAVs. However, existing grid search-based or random sampling-based path planning algorithms in 3D space require a large amount of computation, and UAVs with weight constraints require reliable path planning results in real time. To solve this problem, we propose a method that divides a 3D space into several 2D spaces and a path planning algorithm that considers the distance to obstacles within each space. Among the paths generated in each space, the final path (Best path) that the UAV will follow is determined through the proposed objective function, and for this purpose, we consider the rotation angle of the 2D space, the path length, and the previous best path information. The proposed methods have been verified through autonomous flight of UAVs in real environments, and shows reliable obstacle avoidance performance in various complex environments.

The drone technology, which is receiving a lot of attention due to the 4th industrial revolution, requires an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles'(UAVs) flight path search algorithm for automatic operation and driver assistance. Various studies related to flight path prediction and recommendation algorithms are being actively conducted, and many studies using the A-Star algorithm are typically performed. In this paper, we propose an Optimal 3D Flight Path Recommendation System for unmanned aerial vehicles. The proposed system was implemented and simulated in Unity 3D, and by indicating the meaning of the route using three different colors, such as planned route, the recommended route, and the current route were compared each other. And obstacle response experiments were conducted to cope with bad weather. It is expected that the proposed system will provide an improved user experience compared to the existing system through accurate and real-time adaptive path prediction in a 3D mixed reality environment.

The increasing popularity of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be attributed to their wide range of applications. 3D path planning is one of the crucial components enabling autonomous flight. In this paper, we present a novel 3D path planning algorithm that generates and utilizes curvature-based trajectories. Our approach leverages circular properties, offering notable advantages. First, circular trajectories make collision detection easier. Second, the planning procedure is streamlined by eliminating the need for the spline process to generate dynamically feasible trajectories. To validate our proposed algorithm, we conducted simulations in Gazebo Simulator. Within the simulation, we placed various obstacles such as pillars, nets, trees, and walls. The results demonstrate the efficacy and potential of our proposed algorithm in facilitating efficient and reliable 3D path planning for UAVs.

본 연구는 지형참조항법(TRN; Terrain Referenced Navigation)에 근거하는 헬리콥터 항법 시스템을 위한 기본 알고리즘을 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 현재 본 연구에 위성 항법장치(GPS; Global Positioning System)로부터의 정보(X, Y, Z 좌표)는 비행체가 항로를 비행하는 중 매 92.8m의 수평거리로 환산하여 수신되는 것으로 가정하였다. 비행체는 3차원 직교 좌표 체계(Cartesian coordinate system)로 표현되는 수치지형모델(DTM; Digital Terrain Model)상에서 시점(Origination)-종점(Destination) 분석 기법에 의해 항로를 결정한다. 본 시스템은 우선 조종사에게 지형의 사전 인식을 위해 시점-종점 주변 3차원 지형도와 항로의 종단면도를 보여준다. 본 시스템은 직접적인 지상 충돌을 피하기 위해 지형 여유 층면(terrain clearance floor)의 개념을 도입, 기복 지형 표면에 일정 높이의 완충 공간을 설정한다. 만약 비행체가 항행 중 완충 공간에 접근하게 되면 본 시스템은 실시간으로 즉시 경고음과 메시지를 발한다(Matlab 메뉴를 사용하였음). 물론 헬리콥터의 이착륙 시에는 불필요한 경고를 발생시키지 않기 위해 완충 공간 조정은 가능하다. 수치지형모델은 (주)첨성대가 확보하고 있는 3초 간격의 DTM을 채택, 작성하였다.

It is known that an aircraft with delta-wings which are attached to the body at a large angle like a kite or a hang glider has a measure of maneuverability and stability. Aircrafts of this kind can fly stably. Even if engine trouble occurs, it will not fall and might be able to land. In this paper, one of the conventional control methods, PID control, is applied to the aircraft with LQ local control block. This is based on an idea that the aircraft flies so stably that the automatic control system might be realized by a simple controller. The proposed PID controller consists of several sub-controllers which are constructed to each system neglecting the interference. In addition, the LQ control is involved as a local loop of the aileron and rudder control in order to increase stability of the attitude when circling. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through 3D computer simulations and experiments of the flight path control.

This paper provides a method for generating flight path of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is intended to be used in visual inspection of dome-type nuclear containment building. The method basically employs 3-D model to extract accurate location coordinates. Two basic route patterns that provide guide lines in defining moving locations were defined for each side wall and dome section of the containment. The route patterns support sequential capturing of images as well. In addition, several simple equations and an algorithm for calculation of the moving location on the route were developed on the basis of 3-D geometric characteristics of the containment building. A prototype computer program has been implemented to validate the proposed method, and a case study shows the method can visualize covering area in 3-D model as well.
