Abstract

Even though existing methods for orthophoto production using expensive aircraft are effective in large areas, they are drawbacks when dealing with renew quickly according to geographic features. But, as UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology has advanced rapidly, and also by loading sensors such as GPS and IMU, they are evaluates that these UAV and sensor technology can substitute expensive traditional aerial photogrammetry. Orthophoto production by using UAV has advantages that spatial information of small area can be updated quickly. But in the case of existing researches, images of same altitude are used in orthophoto generation, they are drawbacks about repetition of data and renewal of data. In this study, we targeted about small slope area, and by using low-end UAV, generated orthophoto and DEM(Digital Elevation Model) through different altitudinal images. The RMSE of the check points is σh = 0.023m on a horizontal plane and σv = 0.049m on a vertical plane. This maximum value and mean RMSE are in accordance with the working rule agreement for the aerial photogrammetry of the National Geographic Information Institute(NGII) on a 1/500 scale digital map. This paper suggests that generate orthophoto of high accuracy using a different altitude images. Reducing the repetition of data through images of different altitude and provide the informations about the spatial information quickly.

기존의 정사영상 제작에서는 고가의 항공기를 이용한 대규모 지역에 대해서만 경제적인 정사영상을 제작할 수 있었으며, 지형지물에 대해 빠르게 변화를 갱신하지 못한다는 단점이 있었다. 하지만 최근 무인항공기(UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)가 빠른 속도로 발전되고, GPS와 IMU 등의 다양한 센서 탑재로 고가의 항공사진측량을 대체할 수 있다는 평가를 받고 있다. 무인항공기를 이용하여 소규모 지역에 대한 정사영상 지도를 제작 할 경우 신속하게 공간정보를 갱신할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있지만 기존 연구의 경우 같은 고도의 영상으로만 정사영상을 제작하여 자료의 중복성과 자료 갱신에 대한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 경사지역을 대상으로 저가용 무인항공기의 고도가 다른 영상을 통해 정사영상 및 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)을 제작하였다. 검사점에 의한 수평 및 수직 성분의 RMSE는 σh = 0.023m, σv = 0.049m 의 정확도를 보여 국토지리정보원 수치지도 1/500 축척의 RMSE와 최댓값 허용범위를 만족하였다. 이를 통해 고도가 다른 영상을 이용하여 높은 정확도의 정사영상을 제작할 수 있었으며, 다양한 고도의 자료를 통해 자료의 중복성을 줄이고, 신속하게 공간정보를 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
