In this study, two radiometric correction methods deriving reflectance from UAV multispectral image for monitoring forest vegetation were applied and evaluated. Multispectral images were obtained from a small multispectral camera having 5 spectral bands. Reflectance were derived by applying the two methods: (1) the direct method using downwelling irradiance measurement and (2) the empirical line correction method by linking a set of field reflectance measured simultaneous with the image capture. Field reflectance were obtained using a spectroradiometer during the flight and used for building the linear equation for the empirical method and for the validation of image reflectance derived. Although both methods provided the high correlations between field reflectance and image-derived reflectance, their distributions were somewhat different. While the direct method provided rather stable and consistent distribution of reflectance all over the entire image area, the empirical method showed very unstable and inconsistent reflectance distribution. The direct method would be more appropriate for relatively wide area that requires more time to acquire image and may vary in downwelling irradiance and atmospheric conditions.

2006년 7월 28일 발사 된 아리랑위성 2 호 검보정 작업은 발사 한 달 후인 8월 말부터 본격적으로 시작되었다. 아리랑위성 2호 검보정의 첫 단계로 위성의 상태를 판단할 수 있는 정보를 수집하여 재정리하는 작업부터 시작하였으며, 곧바로 아리랑위성 2호의 기본 설정 값들을 결정하는 작업을 마무리하였다. 이후, 복사 검보정, 공간 검보정, 기하 검보정 작업들이 순차적으로 진행되었지만, 검보정 작업을 진행하는 과정에서 발사 전에 고려하지 못 했던 요소들이 발견되었고, 위성과 사용자 간의 요구사항 정확도 차이에서 오는 문제점들이 검보정 작업 진행 중에 나타남에 따라 검보정 작업이 지연되었다. 발사 전에 계획되었던 검보정 계획에 비해 일정 지연이 있었으나, 현재는 아리랑위성 2호 영상자료를 사용할 수 있는 기본 영상 품질을 만족한 상태이며, 향후 계속해서 아리랑위성 2호 기본 사양을 넘는 영상자료의 품질을 향상시키기 위한 검보정 작업이 계획대로 진행될 예정이다.

Mid-Infrared (MIR) 영상은 화산 활동 및 산불로 인한 재난관측, 지표물질 관측, 해수 온도 측정과 같은 분야들에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 MIR영역은 지표의 복사율과 대기의 영향으로 인한 변화가 매우 심하고, 낮 영상의 경우 태양 복사량에 의한 영향도 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 단일밴드인 MIR영상을 이용하여 표면온도를 얻기 위해서는 영상이 취득된 시간과 장소에서 관측된 태양 복사량 및 여러 가지 대기 변수가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존의 MIR 영상 연구가 다중밴드를 기반으로 한 것과 달리 단일 밴드의 영상을 이용하여 표면온도를 측정하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 MODIS MIR 영상을 대상으로 MODTRAN을 사용하여 MIR 영역의 대기보정 기법을 적용 한 뒤 복사전달 모델을 이용하여 지표의 복사량을 측정하였다. 획득된 지표온도 영상의 정밀도를 측정하기 위해서 기존의 온도 알고리즘인 split-window algorithm에 의해 얻어진 해수온도 영상과의 비교를 통하여 오차 원인에 대해 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 낮 영상의 경우 -4.19${\pm}$1.19$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 온도 차가 났으며, 밤 영상의 경우 0.5$^{\pm}C$0.39$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 비교적 좋은 결과를 보였다. 이는 낮 영상의 경우 지표의 복사율에 대한 온도의 민감도가 매우 높기 때문에 높은 오차가 발생하지만, 밤 영상의 경우 태양빛에 의한 영향이 없으므로 좋은 결과를 나타내기 때문이다. 따라서 단일밴드 MIR영상을 이용한 지표온도 추정 시 대기에 의한 영향보다 지표 복사율에 의한 영향이 높다고 추정할 수 있다.

It is essential to convert the Digital Number (DN) measured from Earth observing satellites into the physical parameter of radiance when deriving the geophysical parameter such as surface temperature in the satellite data processing. The purpose of this study is to update the DN·Radiance equation established from lab measurements, using the KOMPSAT-3A mid-wave infrared data and the MODTRAN radiative transfer model. Results of this study show that the improved DN·Radiance equation allows us to produce the realistic values of radiance. We expect in the forthcoming study that the radiances calculated as such should be more quantitatively validated with the use of relevant in-situ measurements and a radiative transfer model.

In order to provide quantitative control of the standard products of Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), on-board radiometric correction, atmospheric correction, and bio-optical algorithm are obtained continuously by comprehensive and consistent calibration and validation procedures. The calibration/validation for radiometric, atmospheric, and bio-optical data of GOCI uses temperature, salinity, ocean optics, fluorescence, and turbidity data sets from buoy and platform systems, and periodic oceanic environmental data. For calibration and validation of GOCI, we compared radiometric data between in-situ measurement and HyperSAS data installed in the Ieodo ocean research station, and between HyperSAS and SeaWiFS radiance. HyperSAS data were slightly different in in-situ radiance and irradiance, but they did not have spectral shift in absorption bands. Although all radiance bands measured between HyperSAS and SeaWiFS had an average 25% error, the 11% absolute error was relatively lower when atmospheric correction bands were omitted. This error is related to the SeaWiFS standard atmospheric correction process. We have to consider and improve this error rate for calibration and validation of GOCI. A reference target site around Dokdo Island was used for studying calibration and validation of GOCI. In-situ ocean- and bio-optical data were collected during August and October, 2009. Reflectance spectra around Dokdo Island showed optical characteristic of Case-1 Water. Absorption spectra of chlorophyll, suspended matter, and dissolved organic matter also showed their spectral characteristics. MODIS Aqua-derived chlorophyll-a concentration was well correlated with in-situ fluorometer value, which installed in Dokdo buoy. As we strive to solv the problems of radiometric, atmospheric, and bio-optical correction, it is important to be able to progress and improve the future quality of calibration and validation of GOCI.

The concept of detection and classification of objects based on infrared camera is widely applied to military applications. While the object detection technology using infrared images has long been researched and the latest one can detect the object in sub-pixel, the object classification technology still needs more research. In this paper, we present object classification method based on measured radiant intensity of objects such as target, artillery, and missile using infrared camera. The suggested classification method was verified by radiant intensity measuring experiment using black body. Also, possible measuring errors were compensated by modelling-based correction for accurate radiant intensity measure. After measuring radiation of object, the model of radiant intensity is standardized based on theoretical background. Based on this research, the standardized model can be applied to the object classification by comparing with the actual measured radiant intensity of target, artillery, and missile.

When a thermocouple is placed in a high temperature gas-flow stream, the measured temperature could be biased from the true gas temperature due to a large radiation heat loss from a thermocouple surface to its surroundings. In this study, two thermocouples of unequal diameters with 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch are used to correct the radiation effect. The method is called the reduced radiation error (RRE). The preliminary test results show that the radiation and the sheath conduction cannot be negligible for the gas temperature measurement. To minimize the sheath conduction effect, all the thermocouples will have a grounded junction and 1/8 inch thermocouple will be replaced with 1 mm thermocouples. In addition, the computational fluid dynamics code analysis shows that there is a negligible temperature difference between the positions where the thermocouples were installed.

SAR data can be achieved independently of weather conditions or sun illumination which is main limitation of electro-optical sensor to get image. The information from imagery can be more enlarged using Shh data be-cause SAR data offers different information from electro-optical sensor. SAR data contains various distortions caused by the radar specification and geometric properties of data acquisition. These distortions should be removed to get the information with acceptable accuracy. In this study, we aimed to correct the radiometric distortion in Shh image caused by the geometric property of the object. For this purpose, we simulated the SAR image by modelling of the power of return beam which is variable according to the geometric configuration between SAR antenna and ground object. Dividing the SAR image by the simulation image, then, we can get the radiometrically corrected image. As a result of this study, we could minimize the effect of radiometric distortion in achieving some qualitative information from SAR image for the related field, such as Geospatial Information System.

In this study, calibration processes and methods of evaluating the radiometric quality of satellite images from the meteorological payload on the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A were described. MTF(Modulation Transfer Function), SNR(Signal-To-Noise Ratio), NEdT(Noise Equivalent Delta Temperature), and Dynamic Range, which are the major parameters for assessment of data radiometric quality of space-borne visible and infrared sensors, are focused. Key process of the quality check of the satellite data is the comparing the image radiometric performance parameters during the In-Oribit Test with those acquired from the ground tests. Validation plan of the image quality of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A Meteorological Imager is addressed based on the analyses results of COMS MI data during the COMS In-Orbit Test period
