Coastal landforms such as sand beach and coastal sand dune are changing dynamically, and the research about them is being conducted. Conventionally the leveling method has been applied to measuring heights of dynamic morphological surface in coastal landforms. We applied the photograrmmetric method which was not considered to measure the heights on coastal sand dune’s profile to calculating the heights of coastal sand dune; that is, the heights of unknown points on coastal sand dune’s profile was reckoned from the digital photographs’stereo pairs through bundle adjustment and backward transform of collinearity condition equation. we used six GCPs to perform bundle adjustment. After backward transform the error of heights between surveyed value and computed value was estimated around 10cm. In general, the pole is not adamantly fixed on the surface of coastal sand dune because of its softness, and then the disturbance of coastal sand dune adjoining surveyed area can be made in small area. Digital photogrammetry can solve the problem which conventional leveling method has, and be replaced it.

Given the mountainous nature of Korea, cutting slopes are bound to happen. Every you, slope failures lead to enormous human and material losses. More recently, reckless development and subsequent degradation of forests has brought about soil erosion, which coupled with heavy rainfall, contaminates rivers, raises the level of river bottoms and thereby deteriorates their discharge capacity. In Korea, environmental impact assessments and disaster impact assessments have been conducted to come up with proper countermeasures. In order to perform quantitative analysis for this purpose, reliable slope information is quintessential. This study aims to obtain slope-related digital images using an RC model helicopter with a non-metric camera embedded, and to process these images to gain more accurate slope information. To this end, digital images obtained regarding cutting slopes were processed to gain numerical information of slopes and, on the basis of slope information gained here, reliable soil erosion factors were estimated.

An aerial multi-looking camera system equips itself with five separate cameras which enables acquiring one vertical image and four oblique images at the same time. This provides diverse information about the site compared to aerial photographs vertically. The geometric relationship of oblique cameras and a vertical camera can be modelled by 6 exterior orientation parameters. Once the relationship between the vertical camera and each oblique camera is determined, the exterior orientation parameters of the oblique images can be calculated by the exterior orientation parameters of the vertical image. In order to examine the exterior orientation of both a vertical camera and each oblique cameras in the multi-looking camera relatively, calibration targets were installed in a lab and 14 images were taken from three image stations by tilting and rotating a non-metric digital camera. The interior orientation parameters of the camera and the exterior orientation parameters of the images were estimated. The exterior orientation parameters of the oblique image with respect to the vertical image were calculated relatively by the exterior orientation parameters of the images and error propagation of the orientation angles and the position of the projection center was examined.
