If stereo images is used for Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation, a DEM is generally made by matching left image against right image from stereo images. In stereo matching, tie-points are used as initial match candidate points. The number and distribution of tie-points influence the matching result. DEM made from matching result has errors such as holes, peaks, etc. These errors are usually interpolated by neighbored pixel values. In this paper, we propose the DEM generation method combined with automatic tie-points extraction using existing DEM, image pyramid, and interpolating new DEM using existing DEM for more reliable DEM. For test, we used IKONOS, QuickBird, SPOT5 stereo images and a DTED level 2 data. The test results show that the proposed method automatically makes reliable DEMs. For DEM validation, we compared heights of DEM by proposed method with height of existing DTED level 2 data. In comparison result, RMSE was under than 15 m.

Recently, increasing demand for 'Digital Elevation Model(DEM)' to climate change research and various development by global warming in the Arctic region. So we need to verify the accuracy to utilize DEM. In this research, we verified 'ASTER GDEM' and 'GIMP DEM' in several DEM which constructed in the Greenland that most of the area is covered ice sheet. We divided greenland into two part, ice sheet area and non ice sheet area by using the ESA globcover. Then, comparing a difference between 'ASTER DEM', 'GIMP DEM' and ICESat elevation data to verify the accuracy. As a result, GIMP DEM has higher accuracy in ice sheet area and ASTER GDEM has higher accuracy in non-ice sheet area.

In this study, we propose an approach for calibrating the elevation of a DEM (Digital Elevation Model), one of the key data in realizing unmanned aerial vehicle image-based precision agriculture. First of all, radiometric correction is performed on the orthophoto, and then ExG (Excess Green) is generated. The non-vegetation area is extracted based on the threshold value estimated by applying the Otsu method to ExG. Subsequently, the elevation of the DEM corresponding to the location of the non-vegetation area is extracted as EIFs (Elevation Invariant Features), which is data for elevation correction. The normalized Z-score is estimated based on the difference between the extracted EIFs to eliminate the outliers. Then, by constructing a linear regression model and correcting the elevation of the DEM, high-quality DEM is produced without GCPs (Ground Control Points). To verify the proposed method using a total of 10 DEMs, the maximum/minimum value, average/standard deviation before and after elevation correction were compared and analyzed. In addition, as a result of estimating the RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) by selecting the checkpoints, an average RMSE was derivsed as 0.35m. Comprehensively, it was confirmed that a high-quality DEM could be produced without GCPs.

In this study, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were constructed from color images, grayscale images and each bands (Red, Green, Blue) of color image, and the accuracies of each DEMs were evaluated, And then, correlation coefficients between left and right images of each stereopairs were analyzed. The DEM can be constructed conventionally from the digital map and stereopair images using image matching. The image matching requires stereo satellite images or aerial photographs. In case of rotor aerial photographs, these are to be scanned in 3 bands (Red, Green, Blue). For this study, 5 types of images were acquired; color, grayscale, RED band, GREEN band, and BLUE band image. DEMs were constructed from 5 types of stereopair images and evaluated using elevation points of digital maps. In order to analyze the cause of various accuracies of each DEMs, the similarity between left and right images of each stereopairs were analyzed. Consequently, the accuracy of the DEM constructed from RED band images of color aerial photograph were proved best.

DEM(Digital Elevation Model) are now easily produced with advancing remote sensing technology. Depending on desired task, UAV can produce high resolution DEM. But high resolution comes with issues of data storage and processing time and cost. To check the effect of DEM resolution, this study compares six geomorphological parameters derived from different resolution DEM in a test area around Chuncheon, Korea. The comparison analysis was based on statistics of each derivatives of slope, curvature, flow direction, flow accumulation, flow length and basin. As a result, it was found that DEM remained unchanged and so did the flow accumulation area. However, slope, curvature, flow length and basin numbers were decreased with the normalization of increasing pixel size. DEM resolution should be carefully selected depending on the precision of application required.

유역 모델링은 유역에 강우의 유출 과정을 재현할 수 있는 과정이다. 과거 유역 모델링은 1차원 수준에서 유출과정을 모의하는데 그쳤으나, 기술이 발전함에 있어 입력하는 매개변수 수가 증가함에 따라 모의값의 신뢰성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 매개변수 중 공간매개변수로써 널리 활용되고 있는 수치표고모델의 신뢰성과 범용성을 확인하고자 한다. 유역모델링 연구에 있어, 수치표고모델 정확성은 결과값의 신뢰성을 좌우하는 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 수치표고모델이란 실제 지형이 나타내는 표고 정보를 수치화 하여 격자 안에 담은 형태의 파일로 대표적으로 DEM(Digital Elevation Models)과 DSM(Digital Surface Models)로 나눌 수 있다 DEM의 경우 해당 지형의 고도정보만을 담고있으며, DSM은 지표면 상의 나무, 건물 등 포함한 지표면의 고도를 담고 있다. 현재 NASA에서는 전 지구의 30m격자 크기로 SRTM-DSM을 제공하고 있으며, 우리나라 국토지리정보원에서도 90m 격자크기의 DEM을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 남한강 유역의 수치표고모델을 세 가지 Case로 나눠서 유출량 변화 검토를 진행하였다. 산지가 많은 남한강 유역의 10개의 소유역을 선정하였고, 다음과 같이 3개의 Case를 적용하였다. Case1, DEM 자료를 입력했을 경우, Case2, DSM 자료를 입력했을 경우, Case3 DSM+DEM 자료를 입력했을 경우, 각 Case에 대해 유출량을 산정하였고, 그 결과값을 분석하였다. 해당 유역에 세 가지 Case 모두 유출량의 변화량의 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 공간매개변수 적용에 있어 타당성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구는 인공위성을 통해 산출된 수치표고모델의 신뢰성을 확인 하였고, 활용가능성을 검토 하였다. 이에 따라 향후 연구에 수치표고모델 적용에 있어 미계측유역에도 활용가능한 연구로 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The flood caused landslide disaster each year because of climate change. And the change of topography from an earthquake makes topographical analysis impossible. This paper performed an investigation about a utilization methods and generation DEM(Digital Elevation Model) after digital aerial photographs quickly when the topographical change happens. Stereo imagery that was collected through digital aerial photographs made a generation of DEM possible. A standard deviation of generated DEM is 0.864m which is somewhat high but shows the real topography. As a result, it should be possible to generate DEM by using aerial photographs in case of the change of topography.

Lately, digital restitution was became common using digital aerial photos. Therefore, we can obtain three-dimensional data. As a plotting-maker is checked by naked eye, plotting original data is very useful for making reliable three-dimensional data including contour and elevation point layers. In this study, we want to make precise and accurate digital elevation model using plotting original data. Contour and elevation point layers was extracted in digital map and break line was extracted in plotting original data. And then, compared both of results. For comparison, we selected slight slope and complex topography area like a residence area, mountain and agricultural land. We extracted break line deleting layer until obtaining ideal digital elevation model. As the results, We could extract contour, elevation points, eight road and two boundary layers using break lines. And We could obtain precise elevation model. Editing break lines, the distortion of digital elevation model could be minimized in the complex and sharp slope area.

Recently, the efforts of systematic understanding and utilization of geographic phenomenon for human life as a important factor among activity of mankind are increasing. It is necessary to express topography connected with space. Especially, the technology of geographic analysis using DEM can supply the information rapidly and accurately about elevation and terrain slope of the subject area under the necessity of high 3D quality geographic information. In this study, creating more precise DEM derived from LiDAR data, quantitative analysis on the subject area about elevation and terrain slope is done under comparison with Digital Topographic map Scale 1:1000. LiDAR data is more detailed than Digital Topographic map to express the elevation of the subject area ($39.89{\sim}77.48m$), and terrain slope by analysis using DEM derived from LiDAR data come out minutely about 90%. It can be concluded that the LiDAR data is very applicable and accurate for 3D topographic terrain slope analysis.
