고해상도 위성영상을 이용한 DEM 제작의 경우 영상의 센서모델과 정합을 이용한 방식이 일반적으로 사용되어 왔다. 이 방식의 경우 영상에 존재하는 건물 및 도로, 그리고 지역 등에 따라 오류가 발생하게 되며 이는 DEM의 제작 시 공백(Hole)이나, 오류(Blunder)의 원인이 된다 이 방식을 보완하기 위하여, 본 실험에서는 1m 급의 공간해상도를 가지는 스테레오 위성 영상을 이용하여 제작된 고해상도 DEM을 제작해보았으며, 전 세계적으로 제작되어 있는 30m 정확도를 가지는 DTED를 이용하여 동일지역의 DEM의 갱신을 시도하였다. 고해상도 스테레오 위성영상에서 매칭 결과로 구해진 높이 값과 30m DTED와의 결과 비교를 통해 최상위 피라미드 단계에서의 DEM의 제작 시 발생할 수 있는 에러들을 걸러냄으로 정확한 DEM의 생성을 시도하였으며, 새롭게 구해진 DEM의 높이 값을 30m DTED의 높이 값에 근사시켜 기존의 방식보다 더 부드러운 고해상도 DEM의 제작이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

항공사진이나 고해상도 위성영상으로부터 건물의 정보를 추출하기 위한 많은 연구들이 이전부터 수행되어 왔다. 많은 연구들은 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 DEM을 생성하고 이로부터 3차원 건물 정보를 추출하였다 본 연구에서는 단일 위성영상만을 이용하여 3차원 건물 정보를 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 가상의 그림자를 영상에 투영시키고, 투영된 그림자와 영상 위에 나타난 실제 건물의 그림자가 일치했을 때, 건물의 높이를 결정한다 결정된 건물 높이를 이용하여 연직선을 생성시키고, 이 연직선을 따라서 건물의 지붕 외곽선을 이동시키면, 이동된 지붕 외곽선은 건물의 바닥 외곽선이 된다. 이를 통해서 건물의 높이와 위치 정보를 취득할 수 있다. 건물이 밀집한 지역에서는 지표면에 나타난 건물의 그림자가 다른 건물에 가려지는 경우가 많다 이러한 경우를 고려하여 제안된 알고리즘은 지표면 위에 나타난 그림자를 이용한 방법과 그림자를 가린 건물 정면에 나타난 그림자를 이용한 방법을 사용한다. 알고리즘의 검증을 위해서 본 연구에서는 스테레오 영상에서 추출한 건물의 높이와 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘으로 추출한 건물의 높이를 비교하였다. 두 방법에 대해서 각각 30개의 건물 높이를 비교한 결과 RMSE는 약 1.5 m로 나타났다.

There are significant differences in geometric property and stereo model accuracy between single-sensor stereo that uses two images taken by stereo acquisition mechanism within identical sensor and dual-sensor stereo that randomly combines two images taken from two different sensors. This paper compares the two types of stereo pairs thoroughly. For experiment, two single-sensor stereo pairs and four dual-sensor stereo pairs were constituted using SPOT-5 stereo and KOMPSAT-2 stereo covering same area. While the two single-sensor stereos have stable geometry, the dual-sensor stereos produced two stable and two unstable geometries. In particular, the unstable geometry led to a decrease in stereo model accuracy of the dual-sensor stereos. The two types of stereo pairs were also compared under the stable geometry. Overall, single-sensor stereos performed better than dual-sensor stereos for vertical mapping, but dual-sensor stereos was more accurate for horizontal mapping. This paper has revealed the differences of two types of stereos with their geometric properties and positioning accuracies, suggesting important considerations for handling satellite stereo images, particularly for dual-satellite stereo images.

The subject of this study is to apply experimentally In resolution stereo imagery of IKONOS to producing 1:50,000 scale maps for Munsan area in Paju, being near the Military Demarcation Line, is inaccessible for aerial photography. Ground control points were acquired from GPS surveying to perform geometric corrections on images. Digital maps were produced from IKONOS stereo imagery on the digital photographic workstation. From field investigation, RMS errors of the plane and vertical positions are estimated respectively at $\pm$1.706m and $\pm$1.231m, respectively. These plane and vertical accuracies are within the tolerance limits of those provided in the NGIS Digital Topographic Map Production Rules. Therefore this suggested method is recommended for producing the large scale digital maps of 'No flight' zone near the M.D.L.

The mission of the high-resolution camera for the lunar exploration is to provide 3D topographic information. It enables us to find the appropriate landing site or to control accurate landing by the short distance stereo image in real-time. In this paper, the ground verification and analysis system using the multi-application stereo camera to develop the high-resolution camera for the lunar exploration are proposed. The mission test items and test plans for the mission requirement are provided and the test results are analyzed by the ground verification and analysis system. For the realistic simulation for the lunar orbiter, the target area that has similar characteristics with the real lunar surface is chosen and the aircraft flight is planned to take image of the area. The DEM is extracted from the stereo image and compose three dimensional results. The high-resolution camera mission requirements for the lunar exploration are verified and the ground data analysis system is developed.

High-resolution satellite images have high potential to acquire geospatial information over inaccessible areas such as Antarctica. Reference data are often required to increase the positional accuracy of the satellite data but the data are not available in many inland areas in Antarctica. Therefore this paper presents a multi-image RPCs (Rational Polynomial Coefficients) sensor modeling without any ground controls or reference data. Conjugate points between multi-images are extracted and used for the multi-image sensor modeling. The experiment was carried out for Kompsat-3A and showed that the significant accuracy increase was not observed but the approach has potential to suppress the maximum errors, especially the vertical errors.

This paper suggests an intersection method to improve the accuracy of three-dimensional position from heterogeneous satellite stereo images, and addresses validation of the suggested method following the experimental results. The three-dimensional position is achieved by determining an intersection point of two rays that have been precisely adjusted through the sensor orientation. In case of conventional homogeneous satellite stereo images, the intersection point is generally determined as a mid-point of the shortest line that links two rays in at least square fashion. In this paper, a refined method, which determines the intersection point upon the ray adjusted at the higher resolution image, was used to improve the positioning accuracy of heterogeneous satellite images. Those heterogeneous satellite stereo pairs were constituted using two KOMPSAT-2 and QuickBird images of covering the same area. Also, the positioning results were visually compared in between the conventional intersection and the refined intersection, while the quantitative analysis was performed. The results demonstrated that the potential of refined intersection improved the positioning accuracy of heterogeneous satellite stereo pairs; especially, with a weak geometry of the heterogeneous satellite stereo, the greater effects on the accuracy improvement.

Today's commercial high resolution satellite imagery such as IKONOS and QuickBird, offers the potential to extract useful spatial information for geographical database construction and GIS applications. Extraction of 3D building information from high resolution satellite imagery is one of the most active research topics. There have been many previous works to extract 3D information based on stereo analysis, including sensor modelling. Practically, it is not easy to obtain stereo high resolution satellite images. On single image performance, most studies applied the roof-bottom points or shadow length extracted manually to sensor models with DEM. It is not suitable to apply these algorithms for dense buildings. We aim to extract 3D building information from a single satellite image in a simple and practical way. To measure as many buildings as possible, in this paper, we suggested a new way to extract building height by triangular vector structure that consists of a building bottom point, its corresponding roof point and a shadow end point. The proposed method could increase the number of measurable building, and decrease the digitizing error and the computation efficiency.

Extraction of man-made objects from high resolution satellite images has been studied by many researchers. In order to reconstruct accurate 3D building structures most of previous approaches assumed 3D information obtained by stereo analysis. For this, they need the process of sensor modeling, etc. We argue that a single image itself contains many clues of 3D information. The algorithm we propose projects virtual shadow on the image. When the shadow matches against the actual shadow, the height of a building can be determined. If the height of a building is determined, the algorithm draws vertical lines of sides of the building onto the building in the image. Then the roof boundary moves along vertical lines and the footprint of the building is extracted. The algorithm proposed can use the shadow cast onto the ground surface and onto facades of another building. This study compared the building heights determined by the algorithm proposed and those calculated by stereo analysis. As the results of verification, root mean square errors of building heights were about 1.5m.

As economic cooperation and exchanges between North and South Korea have been glowing much more than before, the demand for geographic information on North Korea is recently increasing. In fact, there is no specific method to be provided with geographic information on North Korea. In this regard, the study searched a method to collect geographic information on North Korea by using the high spatial resolution satellite image. In order to produce its best result, the study collected the geographic information on the case study area and ensured the location accuracy. This study produced total 52 items of geographic information on North Korea. Horizontal and vertical errors of stereo image, which are 4.6m and 0.9m respectively, showed high accuracy. In addition, even though the horizontal error of single image is 9m, which is bigger than that of stereo image, there is no doubt that it can be used as basic data for North Korean studies and related projects.
