The aim of this study is to accumulate the data about the roof-harvested rainwater quality characteristics for the better rainwater management. According to the results of rainwater quality indicators (pH, COD, TSS, T-N, T-P, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N, enteric bacteria, heterotrophs, Pb, Cd, Cu), the rainwater qualities of the first flush of roof-harvested was the most polluted about 2 or 3 times (more than 100 times in microbial contamination) compared to the qualities of directly collected rainwater. In the first 10 min flush, over the 60% amounts of contaminant were released from the roof during 30 minute rainwater monitoring. Through statistical factor analysis, relatively close items(variables) can be categorized. It is expected that the continuous monitoring of the roof-harvested rainwater will help to design the safe and economical rainwater storage system in Korea.

Landsat satellites are representative optical satellites that have observed the Earth's surface for a long-term, and are suitable for long-term changes such as disaster preparedness/recovery monitoring, land use change, change detection, and time series monitoring. In this paper, clouds and cloud shadows were detected using QA bands to detect and remove clouds simply and efficiently. Then, the missing area of the experimantal image is restorated through the SSG algorithm, which does not directly refer to the pixel value of the reference image, but performs restoration to the pixel value in the Experimental image. Through this study, we presented the possibility of utilizing the modified SSG algorithm by quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating information on variousl and cover conditions in the thermal wavelength band as well as the visible wavelength band observing the surface.

Satellite data have attracted attention on research such as natural disaster and climate changes because satellite data is very advantageous for observing a wide range of variability. However, there are still limited spatial and temporal resolutions in satellite data. To overcome these limitations, fusion of various sensors and combination of primary products are used. In this study, surface temperature data of 500 m spatial resolution was produced by fusion of GOCI and MI data of COMS. Also these LST are used with NDVI for estimating TVDI. Soil moisture condition of the Korean peninsula was evaluated by these TVDI and it was compared with SSMI derived from ASCAT surface soil moisture data. As a result, COMS TVDI and ASCAT SSMI showed similar spatial distribution and suggested the possibility of observing the soil moisture using COMS. Therefore, the TVDI estimations can be used as a basis for estimating the high resolution soil moisture, and the application of the COMS can be expanded for various studies.

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a major indicator for monitoring climate change and detecting vegetation coverage. In order to retrieve NDVI, it is preprocessed using cloud masking and atmospheric correction. However, the preprocessed NDVI still has abnormally low values known as noise which appears in the long-term time series due to rainfall, snow and incomplete cloud masking. An existing method of using polynomial regression has some problems such as overestimation and noise detectability. Thereby, this study suggests a simple method using amoving average approach for correcting NDVI noises using SPOT/VEGETATION S10 Product. The results of the moving average method were compared with those of the polynomial regression. The results showed that the moving average method is better than the former approach in correcting NDVI noise.

Harmonic analysis enables to characterize patterns of variation in MODIS NDVI time series data and track changes in ground vegetation cover. In harmonic analysis, a periodic phenomenon of time series data is decomposed into the sum of a series of sinusoidal waves and an additive term. Each wave is defined by an amplitude and a phase angle and accounts for the portion of variance of complex curve. In this study, harmonic analysis was explored to tract ground vegetation variation through time for land-cover vegetation change detection. The process also enables to reconstruct observed time series data including various noise components. Harmonic model was tested with simulation data to validate its performance. Then, the suggested change detection method was applied to MODIS NDVI time series data over the study period (2006-2012) for a selected test area located in the northern plateau of Korean peninsula. The results show that the proposed approach is potentially an effective way to understand the pattern of NDVI variation and detect the change for long-term monitoring of land cover.

Bicycle is an environment-friendly transport mode contributing to a more sustainable transportation systems. To innovatively increase the use of bicycle as a significant transport mode, bicycle-friendly roadway environment should be provided. This study proposes a method to evaluate cycling environment based on the analysis of data collected from an specially equipped probe bicycle. The inertial measurement unit(IMU) consisting of a gyro sensor, accelerometer, and a global positioning systems(GPS) receiver was installed on the probe bicycle. Cycling stability index(CSI) and bicycle speed data were used as inputs of the proposed evaluation framework adopting the Fault Tree Analysis, which is a well-known technique for the risk analysis. The outcomes of this study will serve as an intelligent assesment tool for cycling environment.

The objective of this study was to understand the relationships between forest vegetation characteristics and the damage of Oak wilt disease. Field surveys were carried out for two groups. One group(Group A) consists of Oak wilt infected 18 sites from 7 provinces, and the other group(Group B) consists of 5 permanent sites where data on the relative density of entrance holes drilled by Platypus koryoensis., the vector of Oak wilt disease, were available. Survey results showed that 17 of 18 sites were dominated by Quercus spp.(Group A) and also showed a significant positive relationship($R^2=0.89$, P<0.05) between the relative density of entrance holes and the relative density of Quercus spp.(Group B) implying that the susceptibility to Oak wilt disease is related with the high dominance of Quecus spp. in a forest stand.

Incalculable damage will be incurred if the national infrastructure that provides services using GNSS signals is affected by jamming signals. To prevent this, a nationwide GNSS jamming monitoring network is necessary to detect the occurrence of a jamming signal, determine the type, and properly localize the jammer position. In this paper, 2-D images for live GNSS signals were generated to verify the environment of the jamming signals through the presence and type of GNSS jamming signals at K-City, which are the test beds for self-driving vehicles, and Incheon International Airport. The analysis was also conducted to detect the occurrence of the jamming signals, determine the type, and measure the jamming signal strength. As a result, a CWI type of jamming signal was detected in L2 band at K-City and in L5 band at Incheon International Airport.

Stage in classical shoebox type concert hall is placed and occupy one side of the hall and have much early reflections from surrounded walls and ceiling nearby. On the other hand stage in vinyard terrace concert hall, which is surrounded by terrace seats instead of walls and ceiling, has lack of early reflections which may cause lack of communications among the players. Vinyard hall stage is enclosed with terrace seats front walls, while the players located on the stage riser keep the walls off as the walls have limited heights. Ensemble reflector installed above the stage is an effective way for the players to monitor the sound produced on the stage. That may help achieving a good ensemble of the performance. Ensemble reflector over the stage of a large vinyard terrace hall of 2,000 seats was designed with the variables of the location, the shape and the area. The effectiveness of the ensemble reflector is verified with the parameter of stage support.

탁도는 물의 상대적인 흐림 정도를 나타내는 척도로서 이는 빛이 물을 통과할 때 산란시키는 부유고형물질 때문에 발생한다. 토양침식에 의하여 지표수로 유입된 토사와 광물질은 하천의 수송 및 퇴적 과정을 거치며 이동한다. 이때 하상 퇴적물은 바닥으로부터 먹이를 찾는 유기체에 의해 뒤섞이며 입자들은 일정기간동안 물의 흐름에 의해 부유상태로 남아 있게 되고, 유입되는 영양소와 빛에 의하여 성장하는 조류 또한 탁도를 증가시키는 원인이 된다. 이러한 부유물질의 증가는 수중에 태양복사에너지 전달을 방해하여 수중생태계의 먹이사슬과 저서생물의 서식환경에 많은 영향을 미치고, 수표면 온도 또한 태양으로부터 열을 흡수하는 표면 근처의 부유물질에 의해 증가하여 용존산소의 양에도 영향을 미친다. 따라서 수체내 분포하고 있는 부유물질의 종류와 양 및 공간적 분포 파악은 수질문제와 재난 예방 및 생물의 서식환경 문제를 파악하고 해결하는 데 매우 중요하다. 그러나 부유물질에 부착되어 있는 영양소, 금속, 살충제 등은 물 순환 시스템을 통하여 끊임없이 운반되고 상류유역의 흐름 조건에 따라 시공간적으로 변화하기 때문에 이를 규명하는 것이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 광역적인 탁수환경의 분석방법으로 원격탐사(Remote Sensing, 이후 RS) 기법을 이용한 방법이 제안되고 있다. 이미 선진국에서는 광역수계의 수질관리를 위해 RS 기법을 이용하여 신속하고 정확한 수질상태 파악을 시도하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 KOMPSAT 발사를 계기로 RS 관련 기술이 비약적으로 진화하고 있다. 그러나 RS 데이터를 활용하는데 필수적인 분광학적 특성 규명에 대한 연구는 대부분 식생과 토양에 한정되어 있으며 수체에 대한 연구는 현장조사의 어려움으로 인하여 상당히 제한적인 수준이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탁도의 변화에 따른 분광반사 특성을 휴대용 분광복사계를 이용하여 규명하고, 이를 Landsat 위성영상에 적용하여 새만금 유역을 대상으로 완공 직후인 2006년부터 2010년까지의 탁수환경을 모니터링 하였다. 그 결과 새만금 유역 탁수환경을 정성적으로 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 이용하여 탁수환경 연구에 RS 기법이 효과적임을 제시하고자 한다.
