An unmanned aerial photography method by using an unmanned helicopter is useful method for measuring of the water-entry traces of small falling objects into the sea. Pixel sizes on the aerial photograph may be too large due to a limit of camcorder resolution and a wide shooting area. If the pixel size is too large, identification of water-entry trace is impossible. Thus an accurate prediction of water-entry trace size is required. The traces of water-entry could be classified into three types such as splash, water column, and bubble. Diameters of each trace are predicted by water-entry impact pressure theories, cavity theories, and trial test results. The results are verified by drop tests using an unmanned helicopter at two water-entry speeds. As a result, prediction and test results showed sufficient similarity to evaluate the identifiability of water-entry trace.

This paper covers research on terrain construction for unmanned aerial vehicle simulators using spatial information that was distributed by public institutions. Aerial photography, DEM, vector maps and 3D model data were used in order to create a realistic terrain simulator. A data converting method was suggested while researching, so it was generated to automatically arrange and build city models (vWorld provided) and classification methods so that realistic images could be generated by 3D objects. For example: rivers, forests, roads, fields and so on, were arranged by aerial photographs, vector map (land cover map) and terrain construction based on the tile map used by DEM. In order to verify the terrain data of unmanned aircraft simulators produced by the proposed method, the location accuracy was verified by mounting onto Unreal Engine and checked location accuracy.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, drones) are becoming increasingly useful in a variety of fields. Advances in UAV and camera technology have made it possible to equip them with ultra-high resolution sensors and capture images at low altitudes, which has improved the reliability and classification accuracy of object identification on the ground. The distinctive contribution of this study is the derivation of sensor-specific performance metrics (GRD/GSD), which shows that as the GSD increases with altitude, the GRD value also increases. In this study, we identified the characteristics of various onboard sensors and analysed the image quality (discrimination resolution) of aerial photography results using UAVs, and calculated the shooting conditions to obtain the discrimination resolution required for reading ground objects.

As the unmanned aerial vehicle industry and its related technologies grow each year, the number of abuse cases caused by drones is increasing. In addition to the invasion of privacy caused by indiscriminate photography, terrorism using unmanned aerial vehicles, which have a low detection probability, high location accuracy, and the capability of targeting people or places, as well as carrying chemicals, radiation materials, and small bombs, is becoming a significant problem around the world. Accordingly, many companies are developing anti-drone solutions that consist of various technologies such as radar, EO/IR cameras, and RF jammers to detect and disable unmanned aerial vehicles. This article briefly introduces the recent R&D trends and technical levels of anti-drone technologies.

본 연구에서는 무인 항공기 촬영 사진 정보의 실용성을 파악하였다. 따라서 무인 항공기를 활용한 사진촬영 대상 조사구 중 밭층 조사구역를 대상으로 연속적으로 총 4회 조사하여 조사 시기별 촬영된 무인 항공기 사진을 활용하여 조사구의 작황 변화에 대하여 분석하였다. 지형, 작물 식재, 작형의 변화가 많게 예상되는 지역인 밭층에서는 무인 항공기를 활용하여 현장조사 시기에 맞게 해당 조사구를 직접 촬영하여 사진 정보를 수집, 활용하는 것이 적합하다. 그리고 비교적 변화가 없는 논-시설층에서는 경제적, 효율적 측면을 고려하여 위성영상을 활용하는 것이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 조사구역에 작물 재배조사를 위한 시스템들이 잘 갖추어지게 된다면, 향후 무인 항공기를 활용하여 일정한 지역에 대한 사진자료를 취득한 후 라이브러리를 활용하여 실시간으로 딥러닝을 활용할 수 있다. 이를 통해 작물의 작황상태를 파악, 재배 면적과 단위 면적당 수량 조사 등으로 전체 작황 및 출하량 등을 분석하는 데에 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has several advantages over conventional remote sensing techniques. They can acquire high-resolution images quickly and repeatedly. And with a comparatively lower flight altitude, they can obtain good quality images even in cloudy weather. In this paper, we discussed the state-of-the-art of the domestic and international use of UAV in agricultural sector as well as assessed its utilization and applicability for agricultural environment in Korea. Association of robotic, computer vision and geomatic technologies have established a new paradigm of low-altitude aerial remote sensing that has now been receiving attention from researchers all over the world. In a field study, it has been found that use of UAV imagery in an agricultural subsidy program can reduce the farmers' complain and provide objective evidence. UAV high resolution photography can also be helpful in monitoring the disposal zone for animal carcasses. Due to its expeditiousness and accuracy, UAV imagery can be a very useful tool to evaluate the damage in case of an agricultural disaster for both parties insurance companies and the farmers. Also high spatial and temporal resolution in UAV system can increase the prediction accuracy which in turn help to maintain the agricultural supply and demand chain.

본 연구는 무인 항공사진 촬영을 이용하여 해안에 산재한 해안표착물을 탐지하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 이동성과 신속성, 경제성이 우수한 소형 무선 조정 헬리콥터의 기체와 헬리콥터의 진동에 관계없이 연직 상태를 유지할 수 있는 짐벌 장치에 디지털카메라를 장착하여 항공사진 촬영을 시행하였다. 또한, 촬영된 영상으로부터 해안표착물을 탐지하기 위해 Matlab program을 이용한 디지털 영상처리 알고리즘을 고안하였다. 특히 고안된 알고리즘은 배경 차감 기법(Background subtraction method)을 적용하여 연구 대상 해안의 각기 다른 모래 상태로 인해 발생하는 물체 추출 오차를 감소시킴으로써 다양한 형태의 해안표착물을 안정적으로 탐지하는 결과를 보여주었다. 향후, 이 연구 방법을 적용한 해안표착물 모니터링이 이루어질 경우 모니터링 대상 구역 설정의 대표성 문제 해결 및 발생량 추정에 크게 기여할 수 있으며, 해양환경 감시 분야에 활용가능성이 클 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is increasing in the field of land information acquisition and terrain exploration through high-altitude aerial photography. High-altitude aerial photography is suitable for large-scale geographic information collection, but has the disadvantage that it is difficult to accurately collect small-scale geographic information. Therefore, this study used low-altitude UAV to monitor changes in small rural spaces around rural resources, and the results are as follows. First, the low-altitude aerial imagery had a very high spatial resolution, so it was effective in reading and analyzing topographic features. Second, an area with a large number of aerial images and a complex topography had a large amount of point clouds to be extracted, and the number of point clouds affects the three-dimensional quality of rural space. Third, 3D mapping technology using point cloud is effective for monitoring rural space and rural resources because it enables observation and comparison of parts that cannot be read from general aerial images. In this study, the possibility of rural space analysis of low-altitude UAV was verified through aerial photography and analysis, and the effect of 3D mapping on rural space monitoring was visually analyzed. If data acquired by low-altitude UAV are used in various forms such as GIS analysis and topographic map production it is expected to be used as basic data for rural planning to maintain and preserve the rural environment.
