2006년 발사되어 현재 운영 중인 아리랑위성 2호의 활용도를 높이기 위해서는 촬영 지역의 radiance 값에 따라 아리랑위성 2호의 TDI와 Vp gain 값을 조절해야만, 10bit인 radiometric resolution을 넓게 사용할 수가 있다. 촬영하고자 하는 지역의 radiance 값을 미리 예측하기 위해서, 한 픽셀이 $250km\times250km$인 월별 전 세계 radiance 평균값을 기본으로 촬영 날짜, 촬영 시각, 촬영 지역의 기후 조건 및 아리랑위성 2호의 ON-to-Radiance 변화 계수 값들을 사용하여서 최종 At-sensor radiance 값을 계산하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 실제 아리랑위성 2호의 자료수집계획 작성 시에 참고 값으로 사용 중이고, 80%이상의 정확도가 있음을 확인하였다.

In a satellite time management system, the GPS-based clock synchronization technique[1] has the merits of precision time management by knowing the time difference or the error between the OBT(On Board Time) of the internal processors and GPS time every second. It can be realized employing the DPLL(Digital Phase Loop Lock) and FEP(Front End Processor) circuitry for the clock synchronization[2]. In this paper, a refined DPLL & FEP scheme is proposed to provide the precision, stability and robustness of the operation, which is to compensate the errors and noise of the GPS signal, and also to cope with the case when the GPS signal is lost due to several reasons. The simulation and HIL (Hardware In the Loop) test results using the FM(Flight Model) in the course of KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi Purpose Satellite-2) design and development are illustrated to demonstrate the salient features of this methodology.

In this paper, results on the orbit analysis for the KOMPSAT-2 satellite using a real orbit data during the LEOP and normal mission lifetime are presented. In particular, the preparation and performance of an orbit operations during the LEOP is emphasized and the effects of space environments (i.e., Solar activity) on orbit evolutions are investigated comparing to those of the KOMPSAT-1 satellite. The summarized results in this paper would be an important reference to improve the stability and effectiveness of satellite operations during the LEOP and normal mission lifetime in case of LEO satellites such as successors of KOMPSAT-2 (i.e., KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-3A, KOMPSAT-5).

Kompsat-3 is an optical high-resolution earth observation satellite launched in May 2012. In addition to its 0.7m spatial resolution, Kompsat-3 is capable of in-track stereo acquisition enabling quality Digital Elevation Model(DEM) generation. Typical DEM generation procedure requires accurate control points well-distributed over the entire image region. But we often face difficult situations especially when the area of interests is oversea or inaccessible area. One solution to this is to use existing geospatial data even though they only cover a part of the image. This paper aimed to assess accuracy of DEM from Kompsat-3 with different scenarios including no control point, Rational Polynomial Coefficients(RPC) relative adjustment, and RPC adjustment with control points. Experiments were carried out for Kompsat-3 stereo data in USA. We used Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle(DOQ) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission(SRTM) as control points sources. The generated DEMs are compared to a LiDAR DEM for accuracy assessment. The test results showed that the relative RPC adjustment significantly improved DEM accuracy without any control point. And comparable DEM could be derived from single control point from DOQ and SRTM, showing 7 meters of mean elevation error.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the performance of KOMPSAT-3 Digital Surface Model (DSM) made in overseas testbed area. To that end, we collected the KOMPSAT-3 in-track stereo image taken in San Francisco, the U.S. The stereo geometry elements (B/H, converse angle, etc.) of the stereo image taken were all found to be in the stable range. By applying precise sensor modeling using Ground Control Point (GCP) and DSM automatic generation technique, DSM with 1 m resolution was produced. Reference materials for evaluation and calibration are ground points with accuracy within 0.01 m from Compass Data Inc., 1 m resolution Elevation 1-DSM produced by Airbus. The precision sensor modeling accuracy of KOMPSAT-3 was within 0.5 m (RMSE) in horizontal and vertical directions. When the difference map was written between the generated DSM and the reference DSM, the mean and standard deviation were 0.61 m and 5.25 m respectively, but in some areas, they showed a large difference of more than 100 m. These areas appeared mainly in closed areas where high-rise buildings were concentrated. If KOMPSAT-3 tri-stereo images are used and various post-processing techniques are developed, it will be possible to produce DSM with more improved quality.

고해상도 컬러 위성 영상 촬영을 위한 다중분광 센서를 탑재한 위성의 영상은, 탑재체에 장착된 센서의 위치에 따라, 동일 지역에 대해 센서 간의 촬영시각의 차이가 발생한다. 만약 이동하는 구름이 촬영될 경우, 센서별 촬영 영상간에는 구름과 지상과의 상대적 위치가 달라진다. 고해상도 컬러 위성 영상을 생성하기 위해, 영상 정합(image registration) 기법이 사용되는 데, 일반적인 영상 정합 알고리즘은 촬영 영상에서의 특징점(feature point)이 움직이지 않는 것을 전제로 수행한다. 그 결과 이동하는 구름 경계부에서 정합점(matching point)이 추출될 경우, 지상 영역에서의 정합품질이 좋지 않다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 구름 경계부에서 정합점이 추출되지 않는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험 영상으로 구름이 존재하는 아리랑2호 영상을 사용하였고, 제안된 영상 정합 알고리즘은 지상 영역에서의 정합 품질이 높였음을 보였다.
