Abstract

Following the successful launch of KOMPSAT-3 in May 2012, KOMPSAT-5 in August 2013, and KOMPSAT-3A in March 2015 have succeeded in launching the integrated operation of optical, radar and thermal infrared sensors in Korea. We have established a foundation to utilize the characteristics of each sensors. In order to overcome limitations in the range of application and accuracy of the application of a single sensor, multi-sensor image fusion techniques have been developed which take advantage of multiple sensors and complement each other. In this paper, we introduce the development of software (InFusion) for multi-sensor image fusion and valued-added product generation using KOMPSAT series. First, we describe the characteristics of each sensor and the necessity of fusion software development, and describe the entire development process. It aims to increase the data utilization of KOMPSAT series and to inform the superiority of domestic software through creation of high value-added products.

2012년 5월 다목적실용위성 KOMPSAT-3 발사 성공 이후, 2013년 8월 KOMPSAT-5, 2015년 3월 KOMPSAT-3A의 발사 성공으로 국내는 광학, 레이더, 열적외선 센서를 통합 운영할 수 있게 되었으며, 각 센서들의 특성을 융합 활용할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다. 단일 센서가 가지고 있는 활용의 적용 범위나 산출물 정확도에 한계점을 극복하고자 다중 센서들의 장점을 취하고 단점은 상호 보완하는 다종센서간 영상융합기술이 대두하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 다목적실용위성 군을 활용한 영상 융합 및 고부가 산출물 생성을 위한 소프트웨어(InFusion) 개발에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 먼저 각 센서들의 특징 설명과 융합 소프트웨어 개발의 필요성에 대하여 기술하고, 개발 전과정에 대하여 상세히 설명하고자 한다. 국내외 다목적실용위성 군의 자료 활용성을 증대시키고 고부가 제품생성을 통한 국내 소프트웨어의 우수성을 알리는 계기가 되고자 한다.
