Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a new and yet constantly developing part of forest inventory studies and vegetation-monitoring fields. Covering large areas, their extensive usage has saved time and money for researchers and conservationists to survey vegetation for various data analyses. Post-processing imaging software has improved the effectiveness of UAVs further by providing 3D models for accurate visualization of the data. We focus on determining the coniferous tree coverage to show the current advantages and disadvantages of the orthorectified 2D and 3D models obtained from the image photogrammetry software, Pix4Dmapper Pro-Non-Commercial. We also examine the methodology used for mapping the study site, additionally investigating the spread of coniferous trees. The collected images were transformed into 2D black and white binary pixel images to calculate the coverage area of coniferous trees in the study site using MATLAB. The research was able to conclude that the 3D model was effective in perceiving the tree composition in the designated site, while the orthorectified 2D map is appropriate for the clear differentiation of coniferous and deciduous trees. In its conclusion, the paper will also be able to show how UAVs could be improved for future usability.

The Choijin Lama Temple is a representative example of 19th- to 20th-century architecture. The temple has been damaged by various development pressures and the effect of a harsh continental climate. This study digitalized the entire temple site using three-dimensional scanning to establish the basic data of conservational management and monitoring for spatial changes. A terrestrial laser scanning model of the temple was completed, which showed low registering error vectors (3.73 mm average) and dense point distances. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry was also applied to verify its applicability to the spatial and environmental monitoring of the temple. The results showed that the overall point density of the UAV photogrammetry model is similar within a 10 mm resolution. The relatively low RMSE of UAV photogrammetry from the ground to the uppermost roof indicates the high applicability of integrating it with the terrestrial laser scanning model. The digital documentation of the Choijin Lama Temple is expected to have a great ripple effect on the documentation, conservation, and utilization of Mongolian cultural heritage sites.

본 연구에서는 고정익 무인항공기(드론, SenseFly eBee)를 이용하여 국내 대규모 석회석 노천광산에 대한 지형측량을 수행하였다. 비행고도 300 m, 비행속도 12 m/s 조건으로 약 30분간 자동모드 비행을 수행한 결과 현장에서 총 288장의 항공사진을 촬영할 수 있었다. 특이점 추출이 불가능한 37장의 항공사진을 제외한 251장의 항공사진 자료들을 보정하고, 정합한 결과 7 cm 해상도의 정사영상과 수치표면모델 자료를 생성할 수 있었다. 4곳의 지상기준점에 대하여 고정밀 위성측정시스템를 이용하여 측정한 위치 좌표와 고정익 무인항공기 사진측량시스템을 이용하여 추출한 위치 좌표를 비교한 결과 평균 제곱근 오차가 15 cm 내외로 분석되었다. 고정익 무인항공기는 회전익 무인항공기에 비해 상대적으로 비행시간이 길어 넓은 영역의 신속한 지형측량이 가능하므로 대규모 노천광산 현장에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper indirectly created high density point cloud data using unmanned aerial vehicle image. Then, we tried to suggest new concept of classification technique where particular objects from point cloud data can be selectively classified. For this, we established the classification technique that can be used as search factor in classifying color information in point cloud data. Then, using suggested classification technique, we implemented object classification and analyzed classification accuracy by relative comparison with self-created proof resource. As a result, the possibility of point cloud data classification was observable using the image's information. Furthermore, it was possible to classify particular object's point cloud data in high classification accuracy.

Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) photogrammetry provides a cost-effective option for collecting high-resolution 3D point clouds compared with UAV LiDAR and aerial photogrammetry. The main objectives of this study were to (1) validate the accuracy of 3D site model generated, and (2) determine the differences between Digital Elevation Model(DEM) and Digital Surface Model(DSM). In this study, DEM and DSM were shown to have varying degree of accuracy from observed data. The results indicated that the model predictions were considered tend to over- and under-estimated. The range of RMSE of DSM predicted was from 8.2 and 21.3 when compared with the observation. In addition, RMSE values were ranged from 10.2 and 25.8 to compare between DEM predicted and field data. The predict values resulting from the DSM were in agreement with the observed data compared to DEM calculation. In other words, it was determined that the DSM was a better suitable model than DEM. There is potential for enabling automated topography evaluation of the prior-harvest areas by using UAV technology.

무인항공기는 조종사 없이 자율적으로 비행하는 동력 비행체를 이야기한다. 최근 무인항공기는 동영상 촬영, 항공사진측량 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 되고 있으며 특히 공간정보 관련 분야에서 무인항공 사진측량 기술은 자료 취득의 신속성과 경제성 때문에 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 무인항공측량 기술에 대한 분석적인 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 무인항공측량을 위한 장비에 대한 조사를 수행하고 지형모델 및 정사영상을 효과적으로 생성하기 위한 무인항공측량 기술과 트랜드 분석을 수행하였다. 연구를 통해 회전익 및 고정익 무인항공기의 특징 및 활용분야를 파악하였다. 또한 무인항공측량의 공정에서 새로운 측량방법을 적용하여 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 향후 지형모델 및 정사영상 제작을 위한 무인항공측량에 대한 분석적인 연구가 이루어진다면 공간정보 관련 산업의 효율성이 크게 증대될 것으로 기대된다.

This study estimates possibility and limitation on production of DEM using aerial photo by comparison of DEMs using aerial photo and digital map. Mountain and urban areas show higher elevation in DEM using aerial photo than in DEM using digital map, due to height of vegetation cover and buildings, respectively. However, artificial affects due to bridge, embankment and road construction are responsible for areas with higher elevation in DEM using digital map than in DEM using aerial photo. This difference in elevation between DEMs seems to be caused by rapid change in real elevation that is not reflected in digital map. There is little difference in elevation between DEMs in plain and area with little or no vegetation cover. This study suggests that problems associated with vegetation cover and error by GCP should be fixed, although DEM using aerial photo can quantitatively and 3-dimensionally reconstruct topography with a high resolution.

본 연구에서는 보급형 회전익 무인항공기(드론, DJI 팬텀2 비전 플러스)를 이용하여 국내 소규모 석회석 노천광산 현장(대성MDI(주) 석교사업소)의 지형측량을 수행하였다. 고도 100 m, 속도 3 m/s 조건으로 30분간 자동모드 비행을 수행한 결과 총 89장의 항공사진을 획득할 수 있었다. 현장에서 취득한 항공사진 자료들을 보정하고, 정합한 결과 총 3,400만 개의 3차원 점군 데이터가 추출되었고, 이로부터 5 cm 해상도의 정사영상과 수치표면모델 자료를 생성할 수 있었다. 5개 지상기준점에 대해서 고정밀 위성측정시스템를 이용하여 측정한 위치 좌표와 회전익 무인항공기 사진측량시스템을 이용하여 추출한 위치 좌표를 비교한 결과 평균 제곱근 오차가 X, Y, Z 세 방향 모두 10 cm 내외로 나타났다. 따라서 보급형 회전익 무인항공기 사진측량시스템이 기존의 지형측량 장비들을 대체하거나 보완할 수 있는 기술로서 소규모 노천광산 현장에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The advent of a fourth industrial revolution, built on advances in digital technology, has coincided with studies using various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) being performed worldwide. However, the accuracy of different sensors and their suitability for particular research studies are factors that need to be carefully evaluated. In this study, we evaluated UAV photogrammetry using smart technology. To assess the performance of digital photogrammetry, the accuracy of common procedures for generating orthomosaic images and digital surface models (DSMs) using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) techniques was measured. Two different type of non-surveying camera(Smartphone camera, fisheye camera) were attached to UAV platform. For fisheye camera, lens distortion was corrected by considering characteristics of lens. Accuracy of orthoimage and DSM generated were comparatively analyzed using aerial and TLS data. Accuracy comparison analysis proceeded as follows. First, we used Ortho mosaic image to compare the check point with a certain area. In addition, vertical errors of camera DSM were compared and analyzed based on TLS. In this study, we propose and evaluate the feasibility of UAV photogrammetry which can acquire 3 - D spatial information at low cost in a construction site.
