Point-based methods with experienced human operators are processed well in traditional photogrammetric activities but not the autonomous environment of digital photogrammetry. To develop more robust and accurate techniques, higher level objects of straight linear features accommodating element other than points are adopted instead of points in aerial triangulation. Even though recent advanced algorithms provide accurate and reliable linear feature extraction, extracting linear features is more difficult than extracting a discrete set of points which can consist of any form of curves. Control points which are the initial input data and break points which are end points of piecewise curves are easily obtained with manual digitizing, edge operators or interest operators. Employing high level features increase the feasibility of geometric information and provide the analytical and suitable solution for the advanced computer technology.

The software running on avionic systems is required to be highly reliable and productive. Due to these demands, the standard such as ARINC 653 has been suggested, which includes the abstraction of resource partitioning and defines interfaces between avionic operating system and applications. Though there are many manned aerial vehicles employing ARINC 653 based operating systems, Linux-based ARINC 653 for unmanned aerial vehicles has not been studied yet. In this paper, we propose the design of Linux-based ARINC 653 process model and present preliminary implementation. The experiment results present that the implementation is enough to support control software of unmanned helicopter.

An unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard, which is operated by wireless device. A drone provides the capability for the aerial search and traffic control as a police equipment. It has benefits for the missions for the aerial photography with the high resolution camera which can replace eye-dependent search processes. Moreover it has advantage of retrieving several times for the recorded videos. However, if the law enforcement agency misuse and overuse a drone for investigations and search missions without certain regulations and principles, it breaches privacy and personal information infringement. In this paper, we issue a lawful challenges on drone operations and discuss solutions to those challenges.

In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection system (ADS) to detect anomalies of the in-vehicle network for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed ADS detects the anomalies by measuring the similarity of status messages sequences periodically sent by the UAV to the ground control system. We defined three types of malicious message injection attacks that can be performed on the in-vehicle network of UAV and simulated those attack techniques in the Pixhawk4 quadcopter. The proposed ADS can detect abnormal sequences with accuracy of higher than 96%.

A joint resource-optimization scheme is investigated for nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enhanced scalable video coding (SVC) multicast in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted radio-access networks (RANs). This scheme allows a ground base station and UAVs to simultaneously multicast successive video layers in SVC with successive interference cancellation in NOMA. A video quality-maximization problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem to determine the UAV deployment and association, RAN spectrum allocation for multicast groups, and UAV transmit power. The optimization problem is decoupled into the UAV deployment-association, spectrum-partition, and UAV transmit-power-control subproblems. A heuristic strategy is designed to determine the UAV deployment and association patterns. An upgraded knapsack algorithm is developed to solve spectrum partition, followed by fast UAV power fine-tuning to further boost the performance. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme improves the average peak signal-to-noise ratio, aggregate videoreception rate, and spectrum utilization over various baselines.

In this research, a single-axis attitude control test bed is developed, and simulation and tests experiments are performed, as a preliminary research of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle development. A single-axis test bed with seesaw configuration is manufactured using two motors and propellers, and the aerodynamic parameters are derived by thrust tests. The response of the system is estimated with Matlab/Simulink, and experiments are performed with attitude control computer and an attitude sensor onboard the test bed. Comparing the results of simulated and tested data, factors of steady-state errors during experiments are found, and performances of used attitude control algorithm and the control computer were verified. In these process, essential preliminary data for attitude control of a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle were acquired.

A Linear parameterized Sigma-Pi neural network (SPNN) is applied to a tilt-duct unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has a very large longitudinal stability ($C_{L{\alpha}}$). It is uncontrollable by a proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller due to heavy stability. It is shown that the combined inner loop and outer loop of SPNN controllers could overcome the sluggish longitudinal dynamics using a method of dynamic inversion and pseudo-control to compensate for reference model error. The simulation results of the way point guidance are presented to evaluate the performance of SPNN in comparison to a PID controller.

The national geodetic control point is very important as a framework for drafting plans for construction and civil engineering works as well as mapping for various development and utilization plans related to the national land. Since the 1910s, Korea has established and managed the national geodetic control points, the triangulation points and the benchmarks. Currently, these point information is provided through the land information platform. The national geodetic control point has been changed through the process of loss, re-establishment, and re-location by the events and environment of the times. Therefore, it is very important to provide information by linking these past national geodetic control points in time series. In this study, we classified the triangulation points into five groups(Japanese Government General of Korea, YUCCA Project, National Construction Institute, Past Control Point Data Sheet, and Current) by age and then suggests a method to match the same control points in each time period. Finally we also applied the proposed method to Jecheon and analyzed the results.

In recent years, a study of power-line inspection using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been actively conducted. However, relevant studies have been conducting power-line inspection with an UAV operated by manual control, and they have developed just power-line detection algorithm on aerial images. To overcome limitations of existing research, we propose a drone-based power-line tracking system in this paper. The main contributions of this paper are to operate developed system under configured environment and to develop a power-line detection algorithm in real-time. Developed system is composed of the power-line detection and the image-based tracking control. To detect a power-line in real-time, a region of interest (ROI) image is extracted. Furthermore, clustering algorithm is used in order to discriminate the power-line from background. Finally, the power-line is detected by using the Hough transform, and a center position and a tilt angle are estimated by using the Kalman filter to control a drone smoothly. We design a position controller and an attitude controller for image-based tracking control, and both controllers are designed based on the proportional-derivative (PD) control method. The interaction between the position controller and the attitude controller makes the drone track the power-line. Several experiments were carried out in environments where conditions are similar to actual environments, which demonstrates the superiority of the developed system.

The coastal erosion and the look of a heap which are mainly occurred in the district along the coast are found for various forms such as the estuary closing, the estuary sand bar the development of the coast sand bar, and the modification of coastline. Recently, due to the coastal development, these transformations have been intensified. The change of coast, which has been made slow progress is required long-term study on a searching examination of the root cause and a suggestion of a counter measure. In this research, ortho aerial photos were produced to analyze volumes of topographical alternations that have been progressed fer the long run, by 10s cycle from 1940s through 1990s, to compute accurate volumes of coastline variation, through a datum point and G.C.P (Ground Control Point). Also in this study, without respect to water level, the coastline variation was analyzed by using comparatively analyzed a Idlest land map, a cadastral map. And to analyze topographical variation volumes, the tidal station's materials was used under consideration f3r tide. Finally, topographical variation volumes are comparatively analyzed through surveying and sounding and a point of fine of aviation photographing was calculated and revised. After this research, by using ortho aerial photos, We can understand efficiency of these in computing volumes of variations of coastline by analyzing quantitatively erosion and look of a heap. Besides, in the future, these will be used for information gathering of the coastline integration control system.
