Abstract

The system of magnetic exploration with a drone flight was constructed and applied to the iron mine site. The magnetic probe system installed on the drone used a sensor as Bartington's fluxgate type magnetometer, Mag639 and the A/D converter to collect magnetic intensity values on the tablet PC. The drone flight control module is a highly expandable Pixhawk with allowing 15 minutes of flight by loading 3kg. Experiments on the magnetic field interference range were performed to remove the erroneous effect from the drone with applying RTK GPS to obtain the magnetic intensity value at the accurate position. The accurate location information enabled to obtain the gradient measurement of magnetic field by measuring twice at different altitudes. Also, by using the terrain information, we could eliminate the terrain effect by setting the flight path to fly along the terrain. These results are in line with the field experiments using the nuclear proton magnetometer G-858 of Geometrics Co., Ltd, which adds to the reliability of the drone based aeromagnetic survey system we constructed.

드론을 이용한 신뢰성 있는 항공자력탐사 수행을 위해서 자력탐사 시스템과 드론 시스템을 구성하여 철광산 지역 자력 탐사에 적용하였다. 드론에 실리는 자력탐사 시스템은 Bartington사의 플럭스게이트 자력계 Mag639를 센서로 사용하고, A/D convertor를 이용하여 태블릿PC에 자력값이 저장되도록 구성하였다. 드론의 비행 컨트롤 모듈로는 확장성이 좋은 Pixhawk를 사용하였고, 적재 중량(Payload) 3 kg, 최대 중량 적재 시 15분 동안 비행이 가능하도록 구성하였다. 드론의 자기장 간섭 범위 측정 실험을 통해 드론에 의한 자기장 간섭효과를 제거하였고, 정확한 위치 정보 확보를 위해 RTK GPS를 적용하였다. 정확한 위치정보를 토대로 동일한 측선에 대해서 고도를 변경하여 두 번 측정해서 자력 변화율 자료를 확보하였다. 또한 지형 정보를 사용하여 지형을 따라 비행하는 비행경로를 설정함으로써 지형 효과를 없앨 수 있었다. 드론 기반 항공자력탐사 시스템을 통해 획득된 자력자료는 Geometrics사의 핵자력계 G-858을 이용해 동일 지역에서 획득한 자료와 양상이 일치함을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 드론 기반 항공자력탐사 시스템을 이용한 탐사 자료에 대한 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었다.
