The uses of drones are increasing despite the fact that many of us are still skeptical. In the near future, the data that will be created and used by them will be very voluminous, hence the need to find an architecture that allows good identity management and access control in a decentralized way while guaranteeing security and privacy. In this article, we propose an architecture using hyperledger fabric blockchain platform which will manage the identity in a secure way starting with the registration of the drones on the network then an access control thanks to Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and membership service provider (MSP) to enable decision-making within the system.

In this study, we propose a decentralized mathematical model for predictive control of a system of multi-autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. Being decentralized and autonomous implies that all members make their own decisions and fly depending on the dynamic information received from other unmanned aircraft in the area. We consider a variety of realistic characteristics, including time delay and communication locality. For this flocking flight, we do not possess control for central data processing or control over each UAV, as each UAV runs its collision avoidance algorithm by itself. The main contribution of this work is a mathematical model for stable group flight even in adverse weather conditions (e.g., heavy wind, rain, etc.) by adding Gaussian noise. Two of our proposed variance control algorithms are presented in this work. One is based on a simple biological imitation from statistical physical modeling, which mimics animal group behavior; the other is an algorithm for cooperatively tracking an object, which aligns the velocities of neighboring agents corresponding to each other. We demonstrate the stability of the control algorithm and its applicability in autonomous multi-drone systems using numerical simulations.

The purpose of this study is to determine the actual performance of cool roof in preventing absorbed solar radiation. The spatial correlation between surface temperature and absorbed solar radiation is the method by which the performance of a cool roof can be understood and evaluated. The research area of this study is the vicinity of Jangyu Mugye-dong, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, where an actual cool roof is applied. FLIR Vue Pro R thermal infrared sensor, Micasense Red-Edge multi-spectral sensor and DJI H20T visible spectral sensor was used for aerial photography, with attached to the drone DJI Matrice 300 RTK. To perform the spatial correlation analysis, thermal infrared orthomosaics, absorbed solar radiation distribution maps were constructed, and land cover features of roof were extracted based on the drone aerial photographs. The temporal scope of this research ranged over 9 points of time at intervals of about 1 hour and 30 minutes from 7:15 to 19:15 on July 27, 2021. The correlation coefficient values of 0.550 for the normal roof and 0.387 for the cool roof were obtained on a daily average basis. However, at 11:30 and 13:00, when the Solar altitude was high on the date of analysis, the difference in correlation coefficient values between the normal roof and the cool roof was 0.022, 0.024, showing similar correlations. In other time series, the values of the correlation coefficient of the normal roof are about 0.1 higher than that of the cool roof. This study assessed and evaluated the potential of an actual cool roof to prevent solar radiation heating a rooftop through correlation comparison with a normal roof, which serves as a control group, by using high-resolution drone images. The results of this research can be used as reference data when local governments or communities seek to adopt strategies to eliminate the phenomenon of urban heat islands.

This study carried out a topographic survey at a small-scale open-pit limestone mine in Korea (the Daesung MDI Seoggyo office) using a popular rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, Drone, DJI Phantom2 Vision+). 89 sheets of aerial photos could be obtained as a result of performing an automatic flight for 30 minutes under conditions of 100m altitude and 3m/s speed. A total of 34 million cloud points with X, Y, Z-coordinates was extracted from the aerial photos after data processing for correction and matching, then an orthomosaic image and digital surface model with 5m grid spacing could be generated. A comparison of the X, Y, Z-coordinates of 5 ground control points measured by differential global positioning system and those determined by UAV photogrammetry revealed that the root mean squared errors of X, Y, Z-coordinates were around 10cm. Therefore, it is expected that the popular rotary-wing UAV photogrammetry can be effectively utilized in small-scale open-pit mines as a technology that is able to replace or supplement existing topographic surveying equipments.

Crop water stress can be detected based on soil moisture content, crop physiological characteristics and remote-sensing technology. The detection of crop water stress is an important issue for the accurate assessment of yield decline. The crop water stress index (CWSI) has been introduced based on the difference between leaf and air temperature. In this paper, drone-based thermal infrared image was used to map of crop water stress in water control plot (WCP) and water deficit plot (WDP) over spring chinese cabbage fields. The spatial distribution map of CWSI was in strong agreement with the abnormal growth response factors (plant height, plant diameter, and measured value by chlorophyll meter). From these results, CWSI can be used as a good method for evaluation of crop abnormal growth monitoring.

예측하기 어려운 복잡한 기후 변화로 인해 수자원 관리측면에서 다양한 방법을 도입하여 해결할 수 있는 방안이 국가적 주요 관심사로 다루어지고 있다. 따라서 투입인력과 소요시간 절감, 장비와 인력진입 불가지역에 대한 정보획득, 높은 공간해상도, 항공측량 대비 높은 경제성 등 다양한 장점의 드론을 이용한 하천지형 특성별 수리특성 분석방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 성연천 하류부지역을 대상으로 위성항법시스템(Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS) 측량 지형성과와 드론측량(Drone) 지형성과를 지상에 설치된 CHP(Check Point) 좌표 값을 확인하여 두 지형의 정확도를 비교하였으며 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 빈도별 수리특성을 비교 산정하였다. 본 연구는 성연천 하류 480m구간을 선정하고 GNSS를 이용한 실측지형자료와 GCP(Ground Control Point)를 얻기 위해 정확도 검증을 실시하였으며 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량과 DRONE RGB측량의 CHP(Check Point) 오차를 비교하여 정확도를 검증하였다. 오차 값이 확인된 위성항법시스템(GNSS)을 이용하여 가상기준점을 선정하고 RTK 모바일스테이션을 설치하여 DRONE LIDAR측량을 통해 지형자료를 취득하였으며 얻어진 지형자료를 HEC-RAS를 통해 입력 후 성연천 하천기본계획에 제시되어진 조도계수와 빈도별 홍수위를 적용하여 연구구간 480m에 대해 100년 빈도의 결과 값을 비교 검토하였다. 100년 빈도 계획 홍수량 조건의 하상과 한계수위의 차에서 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량 지형자료를 기준으로 평균수위 측정오차는 드론 RGB 측량 지형자료 0.460m, 드론 LIDAR 측량 지형자료 0.260m의 결과를 얻었으며 동일 조건 흐름하의 평균유속에서 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량 지형자료를 기준으로 평균유속 측정오차는 드론 RGB 측량 지형자료 0.40m/s, 드론 LIDAR 측량 지형자료 0.36m/s의 결과를 얻었다. 통수 단면적의 비교 결과는 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량 지형자료를 기준으로 드론 RGB 측량 지형자료 전체 단면의 평균오차는 20.20m², 드론 LIDAR 측량 지형자료 전체 단면의 평균오차는 21.68²의 결과를 얻었으며 이상에서와 같이 홍수위와 평균유속, 통수 단면적의 측정오차 비교 결과를 종합할 때 통수 단면적 측정결과는 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량과 드론 RGB 측량의 차이가 적었으나 계획 홍수량 조건의 하상과 한계수위 차이와 동일조건 흐름하의 평균유속에서 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량과 드론 LIDAR 측량의 차이가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 통수용량(capacity)(m³) 비교에서는 위성항법시스템(GNSS) 측량을 기준으로 드론 RGB 측량은 약 7644m³, 드론 LIDAR 측량은 약 7547m³의 차이를 보여 드론 LIDAR를 이용한 결과가 가장 정확한 측정방법으로 추천할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Currently, the 4th Industrial Revolution, like other revolutions, is bringing great change and new life to humanity, and in particular, the demand for and use of drones, which can be applied by combining various technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and information and communications technology, is increasing. Recently, it has been widely used to carry out dangerous military operations and missions, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and North Korea's reconnaissance against South Korea, and as the demand for and use of drones increases, concerns about the safety and security of drones are growing. Currently, a variety of research is being conducted, such as detection of wireless communication abnormalities and sensor data abnormalities related to drones, but research on real-time detection of threats using radio frequency characteristic data is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we conduct a study to determine whether the characteristic data is normal or abnormal signal data by collecting radio frequency signal characteristic data generated while the drone communicates with the ground control system while performing a mission in a HITL(Hardware In The Loop) simulation environment similar to the real environment. proceeded. In addition, we propose an unsupervised learning-based threat detection system and optimal threshold that can detect threat signals in real time while a drone is performing a mission.

In this paper, the test facility for coaxial propellers at low Reynolds developed and validated by measured data. The test equipment was designed to measure the hovering performance of propellers according to distances between the upper/lower propellers. Thrust, torque, rotational speed, vibration, and amperage of upper and lower propellers can be measured separately. The data acquisition system was built to collect signals of sensors, and LabVIEW software was used to control the motor and collect the signal. The hover performance tests of single propellers were preceded for the facility validation, and then the performance values of coaxial propellers were measured according to distances and diameter differences between the upper/lower propellers. The results showed that the high efficiency is achieved at 20%~30% distance between the upper propeller and lower one. The configuration that the upper propeller has shorter diameter than the lower one has the highest efficiency than other configuration.
