In this study, disaster damage investigation system was developed using high resolution satellite images and GIS technique to afford effective damage investigation system for widely disaster damaged area. Study area was selected in Bonghwa, Gyungsangbukdo where high magnitude of damages from torrential rain has occurred at July in 2008. GIS DB was built using 1:5,000 topographic map, cadastral map, satellite image and aerial photo to apply for investigation algorithm. Disaster damage investigation system was developed using VB NET languages, ArcObject component and MS-SQL DBMS for effective management of damage informations. The system can finding damaged area comparing pre- and post-disaster images and drawing damaged area according to the damage item unit. Extracted object was saved in Shape file format and overlayed with background GIS DB for obtaining detail information of damaged area. Disaster damage investigation system using high resolution spatial images can extract damage information rapidly and highly reliably for widely disaster areas. This system can be expected to highly contributing to enhance the disaster prevention capabilities in national level field investigation supporting and establishing recovery plan etc. This system can be utilized at the plan of disaster prevention through digital damage information and linked in national disaster information management system. Further studies are needed to better improvement in system and cover for the linkage of damage information with digital disaster registry.

Frequent pattern mining, which is one of the major areas actively studied in data mining, is a method for extracting useful pattern information hidden from large data sets or databases. Moreover, frequent pattern mining approaches have been actively employed in a variety of application fields because the results obtained from them can allow us to analyze various, important characteristics within databases more easily and automatically. However, traditional frequent pattern mining methods, which simply extract all of the possible frequent patterns such that each of their support values is not smaller than a user-given minimum support threshold, have the following problems. First, traditional approaches have to generate a numerous number of patterns according to the features of a given database and the degree of threshold settings, and the number can also increase in geometrical progression. In addition, such works also cause waste of runtime and memory resources. Furthermore, the pattern results excessively generated from the methods also lead to troubles of pattern analysis for the mining results. In order to solve such issues of previous traditional frequent pattern mining approaches, the concept of representative pattern mining and its various related works have been proposed. In contrast to the traditional ones that find all the possible frequent patterns from databases, representative pattern mining approaches selectively extract a smaller number of patterns that represent general frequent patterns. In this paper, we describe details and characteristics of pattern condensing techniques that consider the maximality or closure property of generated frequent patterns, and conduct comparison and analysis for the techniques. Given a frequent pattern, satisfying the maximality for the pattern signifies that all of the possible super sets of the pattern must have smaller support values than a user-specific minimum support threshold; meanwhile, satisfying the closure property for the pattern means that there is no superset of which the support is equal to that of the pattern with respect to all the possible super sets. By mining maximal frequent patterns or closed frequent ones, we can achieve effective pattern compression and also perform mining operations with much smaller time and space resources. In addition, compressed patterns can be converted into the original frequent pattern forms again if necessary; especially, the closed frequent pattern notation has the ability to convert representative patterns into the original ones again without any information loss. That is, we can obtain a complete set of original frequent patterns from closed frequent ones. Although the maximal frequent pattern notation does not guarantee a complete recovery rate in the process of pattern conversion, it has an advantage that can extract a smaller number of representative patterns more quickly compared to the closed frequent pattern notation. In this paper, we show the performance results and characteristics of the aforementioned techniques in terms of pattern generation, runtime, and memory usage by conducting performance evaluation with respect to various real data sets collected from the real world. For more exact comparison, we also employ the algorithms implementing these techniques on the same platform and Implementation level.
