UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND MINERAL RESOURCE EXPLORATION

摘要

The present invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle for examining minerals and geological structures included in a target rock by photographing rock distributed on the surface of the earth, and more particularly, to an unmanned aerial vehicle for examining minerals and geological structures of a target rock by removing bushes grown around the target rock to cover the target rock and then photographing the same, the unmanned aerial vehicle comprising: the unmanned aerial vehicle capable of flying in the air through a control signal of a remote controller through an operation of a user; a photographing unit provided on a lower portion of the unmanned aerial vehicle and generating rock image information by photographing rocks on the surface of the earth; a sensing unit provided adjacent to the photographing unit and determining whether bushes covering the surface of the target rock exist around the target rock; a removing unit provided on any one portion of the unmanned aerial vehicle and removing the bushes around the target rock based on data from the sensing unit; and an analysis unit provided on any one portion of the unmanned aerial vehicle and analyzing the minerals and geological structures included in the target rock based on the image information photographed by the photographing unit. Thus, safety of investigators can be guaranteed.
