Conservation drones are remote-controlled devices capable of collecting information from difficult-to-access places while minimizing disturbance. Although drones are increasingly used in many research disciplines, their application to wildlife research remains to be explored in depth. This paper reports on the use of Phantom 2 Vision+ for monitoring areas in two national parks in South Korea. The first research area was conducted in Chiaksan National Park, and the second in Taeanhaean National Park. The aim of this research is to introduce ecologists and researchers alike to conservation drones and to show how these new tools have are fundamentally helping in the development of natural sciences. We also obtained photographs and videos of monitoring areas within our test site.

Rapidity and accuracy are important considerations when a drone is employed in a wide surveillance area to detect a target. They are more important when the scope of application is a search and rescue operation or the monitoring of natural disasters, which may require prompt warnings and response. During the actual operation of a drone, rapidity and accuracy are associated with the change in the altitude of the drone. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of drones at varying altitudes and prove that altitude is a relevant factor in the performance of drones. Herein, the characteristics of the drone at varying altitudes were analyzed through several search simulations. The results suggest that a high-altitude drone is relatively advantageous compared to a low-altitude drone in a probability-based target search, and that the search altitude is also a very important and fundamental factor in target search by drones.

Drones are opening new horizon as a major Internet-of-Things (IoT) player which is a network of objects. Drone needs to charge itself during providing services from the charging stations. If there are lots of drones and one charging station, then it is a critical situation to decide which drone should get charged first and make order of priorities for drones to get charged sequentially. In this paper, we propose an efficient scheduling algorithm for drone power charging (ESADPC), in which charging station would have a scheduler to decide which drone can get charged earlier among many other drones. Simulation results have showed that our algorithm reduces the deadline miss ration and turnaround time.

As interest in drones controlled by remote technology rapidly increases worldwide, drones are used in many fields such as military, rescue, and transportation as future innovations in many countries. In particular, as the drone has been spotlighted as a new future strategic industry, it is also used for public purposes such as disaster relief and crime investigation. However, security concerns such as the penetration of major national facilities, collisions with aircraft, and the possibility of privacy infringement due to aerial photography are also being raised. Unlike the increased interest in drones, there have been few studies on drone use, drone safety, and public attitudes toward drone use. This paper analyzed the perceptions of drone attitudes, drone stability and policy support for drones for Korean and United Kingdom.

In this paper, we investigate how to track illegal drones by using communication signal received from illegal drones, which is a promising candidate position tracking scheme for anti-drone systems, and is particularly effective in tracking small illegal drones in urban areas. We propose an enhanced tracking scheme using multiple antennas to improve the performance of tracking by reducing the error of position tracking. In the proposed tracking scheme, a tracker is equipped with four receive antennas that are evenly spaced 90 degrees apart, and received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) received by four receive antennas are pre-averaged before being used to calculate the distance between tracker and target. Our numerical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of accuracy.

In modern society, the use of small rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones is increasing. As the military considers tactics using drones, demand for drones is increasing. However, there is still no airworthiness certification standard for drones for safety. In this paper, we proposed airworthiness certification standards for small rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles based on CS-LURS in Europe and STANG-4703, 4738 (draft) of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In addition, airworthiness certification standards have been strengthened through the case of unmanned aerial vehicle accidents in operation by the Korean military. The airworthiness certification standards for small rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles will be supplemented through a demonstration project.

In this study, we will analyze the design, development and application of these small drones using open source. These drones are used in flight exercises, aerial photography, and coding education. In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, such as the development of sensor technology, expansion of open source sharing, and application of artificial intelligence, Is expected to be able to demonstrate convergence. In this paper, we have studied the design and fabrication of small drones using open source. In the case of drones, various functions and differentiated materials are required depending on the application, and the future development of the unmanned mobile object, namely the drone, in which the creativity and the technology are combined with each other continues to be enhanced by the improvement of autonomy and artificial intelligence. Software-based architecture-based technologies have been developed in collaboration with embedded SWs that combine sensors, motors, and control systems. In hardware, it is customary to use a combination of materials and design to increase the freedom of design. It will be made in a free structure.

EOTS for drones is showing another aspect of market expansion in detection and recognition areas previously occupied by artificial satellites. The two-axis EOTS for drones controls the vibration or disturbance caused by the drone during the mission so that EOTS can accurately recognize the goal. Vibration generated by drones is transmitted to EOTS. Therefore, it is essential to develop a stabilization controller that attenuates vibrations transmitted from drones so that EOTS can maintain the viewing angle. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize drone disturbance and secure the performance of EOTS disturbance attenuation controller optimized for disturbance level through this. In this paper, a method of standardizing drone disturbance applied to EOTS is studied, through which EOTS controller simulation is performed and stabilization controller shape is selected and designed.

최근 로봇과 드론을 이용하여 이미지 데이터를 수집하는 경우가 많아졌다. 로봇이나 드론이 주행할 때 외부 영향으로 흔들리게 된다. 이렇게 수집된 이미지를 사용하기 위해서는 이미지를 정합하는 전처리 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자율주행 로봇 데이터셋과 직접 촬영한 드론 데이터셋을 사용하여 Deblur 딥러닝 모델을 통해 흔들린 이미지 데이터의 품질을 높인다. 실험 결과를 통해 흔들린 이미지가 선명하게 정합되는 것을 확인하였으며 모델의 성능을 평가하였다.

최근 경제활동이 어려움에도 불구하고, on-line 시장이 off-line 시장을 추월하고 있다. 미국의 아마존 최고경영자인 제프 베조스가 드론을 이용한 택배 서비스가 가능하다는 것을 언급한 이래 드론활용에 관한 지금껏 보지 못한 새로운 관점과 가치를 창출하고 있다. 드론은 다양한 영역에서 활용 중에 있다. 그중 드론을 이용한 택배 서비스는 4차 산업혁명과 맞물려 우리나라의 미래 성장 동력이 될 것이다. 하지만, 드론이 실용화됨에 따라 공중충돌이나 추락으로 인한 인명과 재산피해, 개인정보보호 같은 문제가 예상되기도 한다. 미래 드론의 실용화는 선택이 아니라 필연이다. 드론의 실용화를 위한 방안으로서 첫째, 드론 이용에 따른 안전성 확보와 드론 안전성에 대한 최소한의 기준 체계인 국가인증 체계 확보, 둘째, 드론 사용 활성화를 인한 각종 인프라 확보, 셋째, 항공규제 및 개인정보보호 등 법·규정 면에서 보완이 필요하다.
