Spectral library is a database that archives spectral reflectance and related metadata of earth surface materials. Spectral library plays important role to assist analyzing several types of remote sensor data, to determine suitable wavelength band for detecting a certain material, and to classify hyperspectal image data. This paper describes the structure and content of a spectral library that is suitable for the environment of the Korea peninsula while existing spectral libraries have certain limitations to apply for surface materials covering the region. We designed a spectral library that includes vegetation and man-made materials indigenous to the region. The spectral library also includes spectra of mineral and rock, soil, liquid, and some man-made materials from existing spectral libraries. Newly augmented spectra of vegetation and man-made materials were obtained by spectral measurements in laboratory and field. The spectral library viewer was developed to increase efficiency of usage and searching.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the reflectance of bed materials according to changes in the water level using a drone-based hyperspectral sensor. For this purpose, we took hyperspectral images of bed materials such as soil, gravel, cobble, reed, and vegetation to compare and analyze the spectral data of each material. To adjust the water level, we constructed an experimental channel to control the discharge and installed the bed materials within the channel. In this study, we configured 3 cases according to the water level (0.0 m, 0.3 m, 0.6 m). After the imaging process, we used the mean value of 10 points for each bed material as analytical data. According to the analysis, each material showed a similar reflectance by wavelength and the intrinsic reflectance characteristics of each material were shown in the visible and near-infrared region. Also, the deeper the water level, the lower the peak reflectance in the visible and near-infrared region, and the rate of decrease differed depending on the bed material. We expect the intrinsic properties of these bed materials to be used as basic research data to evaluate river environments in the future.

Urban green space is one of most important aspects of urban infrastructure for improving the quality of life of city dwellers as it reduces the heat island effect and is used for recreation and relaxation. However, no systematic management of urban green space has been introduced in Korea as past practices focused on efficient development. A way to calculate the amount of green space needed to complement an urban area must be developed to preserve urban green space and to determine 'regulations determining the total amount of greenery'. In recent years, various studies have quantified urban green space and infrastructure using remotely sensed data. However, it is difficult to detect a myriad small green spaces in a city effectively when considering the spatial resolution of the data used in existing research. In this paper, we quantified small urban green spaces using CASI-1500 hyperspectral imagery. We calculated MCARI, a vegetation index for hyperspectral imagery, to evaluate the greenness of small green spaces. In addition, we applied image-classification methods, including the ISODATA algorithm and Spectral Angle Mapper, to detect small green spaces using supervised and unsupervised classifications. This could be used to categorize land-cover into four classes: unclassified, impervious, suspected green, and vegetation green.

사회적, 환경적으로 크고 작은 문제를 일으키는 녹조현상은 수생태계에서 1차 생산자로 없어서는 안 될 조류의 과대 성장으로 인해 주로 나타난다. 담수조류는 크게 녹조류, 남조류, 규조류 3종으로 나누어지며, 특히 남조류는 계절별 천이에 따른 발생 시 과대 성장하는 특성으로 인해 녹조현상에 가장 큰 원인이 된다. 이러한 녹조현상의 원인에 따라 환경부에서는 발령기준 항목을 chl-a와 남조류 세포수에서 2016년 이후 남조류 세포수 만으로 발령기준 항목을 개정하였다. 따라서, 녹조현상에 대한 신속한 대처를 위해서는 남조류에 대한 분포에 대해 파악하는 것이 가장 우선시 되며 이를 위해 신속한 모니터링을 필요로 한다. 하지만 현재 조류 모니터링을 위해서는 직접 채수를 통한 검경 또는 Lisst, YSI와 같은 직접 계측 센서를 활용하여 모니터링을 진행을 하고 있으며 이러한 점, 선 단위의 측정은 전반적인 조류 분포 및 현황에 대하여 파악과 신속한 모니터링에 한계가 있다. 이러한 한계에 대안으로 위성영상, 다중분광 및 초분광 영상을 활용한 면단 위의 원격 모니터링을 통해 신속하고 하천 내 전반적인 조류 농도 분석을 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 UAV를 활용한 초분광센서를 이용하여 하천과 일정한 반사율을 가지는 반사천을 촬영하고 취득한 초분광영상 보정 및 분석을 진행하였다. 최적 밴드 비를 산정하고 YSI를 통한 Chl-a 결과를 이용하여 분광 특성별 맵핑을 통한 공간적 분포의 조류 농도를 산정하고자 한다.

When performing target detection using hyperspectral imagery, a feature extraction process is necessary to solve the problem of redundancy of adjacent spectral bands and the problem of a large amount of calculation due to high dimensional data. This study proposes a new band selection method using the $L_{2,1}$-norm regression model to apply the feature selection technique in the machine learning field to the hyperspectral band selection. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed band selection technique, we collected the hyperspectral imagery and these were used to analyze the performance of target detection with band selection. The Adaptive Cosine Estimator (ACE) detection performance is maintained or improved when the number of bands is reduced from 164 to about 30 to 40 bands in the 350 nm to 2500 nm wavelength band. Experimental results show that the proposed band selection technique extracts bands that are effective for detection in hyperspectral images and can reduce the size of the data without reducing the performance, which can help improve the processing speed of real-time target detection system in the future.

The recent increase in maritime traffic and coastal leisure activities has led to a rise in various marine accidents. These incidents not only result in damage to human life and property but also pose a significant risk of marine pollution involving oil and hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) spills. Therefore, effective ship monitoring is crucial for preparing and for responding to marine accidents. This study conducted an aerial experiment utilizing hyperspectral remote sensing to develop a maritime ship monitoring system. Hyperspectral aerial measurements were carried out around Gungpyeong Port in the western coastal region of the Korean Peninsula, and spectral libraries were constructed for various ship decks. The spectral correlation similarity (SCS) technique was employed for ship detection, analyzing the spatial similarity distribution between hyperspectral images and ship spectra. As a result, 15 ships were detected in the hyperspectral images. The color of each ship's deck was classified based on the highest spectral similarity. The detected ships were verified by matching them with high-resolution digital mapping camera (DMC) images. This foundational study on the application of aerial hyperspectral sensors for maritime ship detection demonstrates their potential role in future remote sensing-based ship monitoring systems.

This study reviewed an application of water quality estimation using an Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery (A-HSI) and tested a part of Han River water quality (especially suspended solid) estimation with available in-situ data. The estimation of water quality was processed two methods. One is using observation data as downwelling radiance to water surface and as scattering and reflectance into water body. Other is linear regression analysis with water quality in-situ measurement and upwelling data as at-sensor radiance (or reflectance). Both methods drive meaningful results of RS estimation. However it has more effects on the auxiliary dataset as water quality in-situ measurement and water body scattering measurement. The test processed a part of Han River located Paldang-dam downstream. We applied linear regression analysis with AISA eagle hyperspectral sensor data and water quality measurement in-situ data. The result of linear regression for a meaningful band combination shows $-24.847+0.013L_{560}$ as 560 nm in radiance (L) with 0.985 R-square. To comparison with Multispectral Imagery (MSI) case, we make simulated Landsat TM by spectral resampling. The regression using MSI shows -55.932 + 33.881 (TM1/TM3) as radiance with 0.968 R-square. Suspended Solid (SS) concentration was about 3.75 mg/l at in-situ data and estimated SS concentration by A-HIS was about 3.65 mg/l, and about 5.85mg/l with MSI with same location. It shows overestimation trends case of estimating using MSI. In order to upgrade value for practical use and to estimate more precisely, it needs that minimizing sun glint effect into whole image, constructing elaborate flight plan considering solar altitude angle, and making good pre-processing and calibration system. We found some limitations and restrictions such as precise atmospheric correction, sample count of water quality measurement, retrieve spectral bands into A-HSI, adequate linear regression model selection, and quantitative calibration/validation method through the literature review and test adopted general methods.

This study is aimed to perform more reliable unsupervised change detection through the re-extraction of the changed pixels which were extracted with global thresholding by applying buffer zone concept. First, three buffer zone was divided on the basis of the thresholding value which was determined using range average and the maximum distance point from a straight line. We re-extracted the changed pixels by performing unsupervised classification for buffer zone II which consists of changed pixels and unchanged pixels. The proposed method was implemented in Hyperion hyperspectral images and evaluated comparing to the existing global thresholding method. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method performed more accuracy change detection for vegetation area even if extracted slightly more changed pixels.

This study examined the spectral characteristics of sediments according to moisture content using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based hyperspectral sensor and evaluated the efficiency of moisture content detection at different flight altitudes. For this purpose, hyperspectral images in the 400-1000nm wavelength range were acquired and analyzed at altitudes of 40m and 80m for sediment samples with various moisture contents. The reflectance of the sediments generally showed a decreasing trend as the moisture content increased. Correlation analysis between moisture content and reflectance showed a strong negative correlation (r < -0.8) across the entire 400-900nm range. The moisture content detection model constructed using the Random Forest technique showed detection accuracies of RMSE 2.6%, R² 0.92 at 40m altitude and RMSE 2.2%, R² 0.95 at 80m altitude, confirming that the difference in accuracy between altitudes was minimal. Variable importance analysis revealed that the 600-700nm band played a crucial role in moisture content detection. This study is expected to be utilized in efficient sediment moisture management and natural disaster prediction in the field of environmental monitoring in the future.

초분광 영상은 기존의 다중분광 영상보다 많은 밴드를 통해 넓은 범위의 파장 영역에 대한 반사율을 담고 있는 고차원 데이터이다. 이와 같은 고차원 데이터를 기존의 R-Tree, X-Tree와 같은 다차원 색인 방법을 사용하게 되면 차원의 저주(Course of Dimensionality)라는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 차원의 저주 문제를 해결하기 위해 피라미드 기법을 사용하여 초분광 영상 라이브러리의 색인을 구축하였다. 파라미드 기법은 D차원의 데이터를 2D차원의 피라미드에 사상하고, B+-트리를 이용하여 1차원적으로 색인하는 방법이다. 실험 결과 스펙트럼 매칭을 위한 영역질의 방법이 후보자 추출 시간, 데이터 접근 빈도 측면에서 순차적 접근 방법보다 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.
