The 70-story high-rise apartment on Ryomyong Street, Pyongyang was completed in just 75 days, which has raised questions about its structural safety. This study was conducted to find an answer to this question and to contribute to inter-Korean construction cooperation in the future. As a result of analyzing data from Google Earth and North Korean publicity, it could be estimated that there were no problems with the application of shallow foundations, construction speed including concrete strength and curing period, and structural safety until at least May 2022 under several conditions. This means the possibility that the North Korean style high-rise apartment construction method could be understood by South Korean standards, which could help successfully carry out the joint construction project by applying the North Korean style construction and minimizing the transfer of South Korean resources in the future.

최근 물 사용에 대한 각 부문 간의 경쟁이 심화되고 있으며, 미래 기후변화에 대응하기 위해 체계적이고 효율적인 수자원 활용이 요구되고 있다. 농업용수는 우리나라 수자원의 40% 이상을 차지하고 있지만, 생활용수, 공업용수와 달리 경험에 기반한 관행적 관리가 이루어지고 있어 체계적인 관리가 필요하다. 농업용수의 체계적 관리와 분석을 위해 최신화된 수혜면적 파악 및 수혜구역 내 수로 네트워크 구축은 필수적 요소이다. 현재 활용하고 있는 농업용 저수지 수혜면적 및 수로 자료는 한국농어촌공사의 RIMS 자료를 기반으로 하고 있다. 하지만 기존 자료의 경우 준공 당시 설계기준으로 작성되거나 수년 전 갱신된 자료로 최신현황을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 직접 측량을 통한 자료 취득 또는 농림축산식품부의 스마트팜맵과 같은 대체, 보완자료가 활용되고 있다. 직접 측량의 경우 최신화된 정확한 자료 취득이 가능하지만, 많은 시간이 소요되며, 스마트팜맵의 경우 취득 주기가 1~2년으로 주기에 따라 최신자료의 활용이 어려울 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자료 산정 시간 단축 및 최신자료 취득을 위해 고해상도 영상을 활용하고자 하였으며, 여주시 삼합저수지를 대상으로 검증하였다. 영상자료로는 위성영상, 항공영상, 드론영상을 활용하였으며, 위성영상의 경우 구글어스 프로의 2020년 11월 고해상도 영상, 국토리지정보원의 2019~2020년 51cm급 항공 영상, 2020년 10월 촬영한 4cm급 드론영상을 사용하였다. 수혜면적 산정은 기존 RIMS 자료와 스마트팜맵을 통해 확인한 수혜면적에서 영상을 통해 확인한 토지이용 변경지역을 추출하여 재산정하였으며, 수로 네트워크의 경우 RIMS 자료를 기반으로 드론영상을 통해 확인된 수로 추가 및 DEM (Digital Elevation Model) 영상을 활용한 용수 흐름도 작성을 통해 구축하였다. 본 연구에서 재산정한 수혜면적과 수로 네트워크는 정확한 용수 수요량 및 공급량 산정, 관개 효율 분석 등과 같은 농업용수 분석 전반에 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper we propose an approach for localizing objects in satellite images. Our method exploits matching features based on description vectors. We applied Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) to object localization. First, we find keypoints of the satellite images and the objects and generate description vectors of the keypoints. Next, we calculate the similarity between description vectors, and obtain matched keypoints. Finally, we weight the adjacent pixels to the keypoints and determine the location of the matched object. The experiments of object localization by using SIFT show good results on various scale and affine transformed images. In this paper the proposed methods use Google Earth satellite images.

We expanded the 3D building information extraction method using shadow and vertical line from single high resolution image with meta information into the method for single high resolution image without meta information. Our method guesses an azimuth angle and an elevation angle of the sensor and the sun using reference building, selected by user, on an image. For test, we used an IKONOS image and an image extracted from the Google Earth. We calculated the Root Mean Square (RMS) error of heights extracted by our method using the building height extracted from stereo IKONOS image as reference, and the RMS error from the IKONOS image and the Google Earth image was under than 3 m. We also calculated the RMS error of horizontality position by comparison between building position extracted from only the IKONOS image and it from 1:1,000 digital map, and the result was under than 3 m. This test results showed that the height pattern of building models by our method was similar with it by the method using meta information.

This study attempted to conduct the study from a macro perspective more specifically through the temporal and spatial analysis of Minbuk villages according to a change in a Civilian Control Line, such as a social and spatial distribution and a change of the existing Minbuk villages. To this end, this study conducted the spatial analysis for the change in the Minbuk villages according to the adjustment of the Civilian Control Line in time series by using a map of the Armistice Agreement Vol. 2, Google Earth, a digital cadastral map, an administrative district map, and the like are used as spatial data, and summarizing and constructing, as attribute data, a statistical yearbook, Ministry of Defense and Cheorwon-Gun notification data, a Land Use Regulation Information System, and cadastral map attribute information. After the enactment of the Military Facility Protection Act, the analysis was performed on a 20-year basis based on the 1976 statistical yearbook of which the Civilian Control Line was drawn. As a result, the total area of the Civilian Control Zone in Cheorwon from 1975 to 2015 decreased by 105.8 km², and 9 of 14 Minbuk villages were released and only 6 villages existed. The unoccupied villages were analyzed as 14 villages, 10 fewer than the existing surveyed or statistical villages. The movement of the Civilian Control Line to the north may disappear the unique characteristics of the Minbuk villages but should be done carefully as it is closely related to the lives of the current residents, and policies should be established in terms of sustainable development and conservation of the villages. This study is significant in conducting the temporal and spatial analysis, which is the basis of the Minbuk regions and the Minbuk villages, and may be used as basic data necessary for subsequent analysis study.

This paper presents a system for image matching and recognition based on image feature detection and description techniques from artificial satellite photographs. We propose some kind of parameters from the varied environmental elements happen by image handling process. The essential point of this experiment is analyzes that affects match rate and recognition accuracy when to change of state of each parameter. The proposed system is basically inspired by Lowe's SIFT(Scale-Invariant Transform Feature) algorithm. The descriptors extracted from local affine invariant regions are saved into database, which are defined by k-means performed on the 128-dimensional descriptor vectors on an artificial satellite photographs from Google earth. And then, a label is attached to each cluster of the feature database and acts as guidance for an appeared building's information in the scene from camera. This experiment shows the various parameters and compares the affected results by changing parameters for the process of image matching and recognition. Finally, the implementation and the experimental results for several requests are shown.

geoContents have been closely related with personal life since the Google Earth and Street View by Google and the Road View by Daum were introduced. So, Location-based content, which is referred to geoContents, involving geometric spacial information and location-based image information is a sharp rise in demand. A mobile mapping system used in the area of map upgrade and road facility management has been having difficulties in satisfying the demand in the cost and time for obtaining these kinds of contents. This paper addresses geoData acquisition and processing system for producing panoramic images. The system consists of 3 devices: the first device is 3 GPS receivers for acquiring location information which is including position, attitude, orientation, and time. The second is 6 cameras for image information. And the last is to synchronize the both data. The geoData acquired by the proposed system and the method for authoring geoContents which are referred to a panoramic image with position, altitude, and orientation will be used as an effective way for establishing the various location-based content and providing them service area.

This study aims to create a Local Climate Zone(LCZ) map of Seoul by using World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools(WUDAPT) protocol, and to analyze the characteristics of the Seoul LCZs. For this purpose, training samples of 17 LCZ types were collected by using Landsat images and Google Earth. LCZ Classification and Filtering were performed by SAGA GIS. An ArcGIS was used to analyze the characteristics of each LCZ type. The characteristics of the LCZ types were analyzed by focusing on building surface fraction ratio, impervious surface fraction ratio, pervious surface fraction ratio, building stories and air temperature. The results show that one filtering was found to be most appropriate. While Yangcheongu and Yeongdeungpogu with the higher annual and maximum mean air temperature than other areas have the higher rate of LCZ 3(compact low-rise) and LCZ 4(open high-rise), Jongnogu, Eunpyeonggu, Nowongu and Gwanakgu with the lower value have the higher rate of LCZ A(Dence trees). The values of building surface fraction ratio, impervious surface fraction ratio and building stories of each LCZ were included in the range of WUDAPT for most LCZs. However, the values of pervious surface fraction ratio were out of the range, in particular, in the LCZs 4~6 and 9~10. This study shows the usability and applicability of the WUDAPT methodology and its climate zone classification used in many countries as a basic data for the landscape planning and policy to improve the thermal environment in urban areas.
