Abstract(in English) In recent years, the use of consumer drones in various fields has become more active worldwide due to their higher performance and lower price. Drone flight safety is greatly affected by weather conditions, especially wind speed along the flight route. To fly drones safely for the various applications, nowcasting is necessary to accurately predict wind conditions at the time and place of drone flight. For this reason, the use of LIDAR has begun to be considered as a means of accurately determining wind speeds over drone flight areas. LIDAR performs observations by scanning laser beams in both horizontal and vertical directions in a three-dimensional observation space, but this has the disadvantage that the distance between the laser beams at a distance makes the observation data sparse with respect to the observation area. In this paper, we discuss a method to densify the sparse LIDAR wind data by signal processing, assuming that LIDAR will be used for nowcasting wind conditions along drone flight routes. The technical details of the wind field densification method and the numerical results of the study will also be presented.
