Recently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Science and ICT are developing the Land Observation Satellite (CAS-500) to meet increased demand for high-resolution satellite images. Expected image products of CAS-500 includes precision orthoimage, Digital Surface Model (DSM), change detection map, etc. The quality of these products is determined based on the geometric accuracy of satellite images. Therefore, it is important to make precision geometric corrections of CAS-500 images to produce high-quality products. Geometric correction requires the Ground Control Point (GCP), which is usually extracted manually using orthoimages and digital map. This requires a lot of time to acquire GCPs. Therefore, it is necessary to automatically extract GCPs and reduce the time required for GCP extraction and orthoimage generation. To this end, the Precision Image Processing (PIP) System was developed for CAS-500 images to minimize user intervention in GCP extraction. This paper explains the products, processing steps and the function modules and Database of the PIP System. The performance of the System in terms of processing speed, is also presented. It is expected that through the developed System, precise orthoimages can be generated from all CAS-500 images over the Korean peninsula promptly. As future studies, we need to extend the System to handle automated orthoimage generation for overseas regions.

영상 복원은 다양한 영상 처리의 분야의 기반기술로 사용되는 기술로서, 복원 과정에서의 번짐현상(블러링)으로 인한 화질 저하가 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 위성 영상과 같이 영상이 의미하는 내용의 중요도가 높은 분야에서는 화질 저하를 최소화하는 영상 복원 기술이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하위 레벨 해상도 보간과 손실 정보 추정을 이용한 위성 영상 복원 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 하위 레벨 해상도 보간을 통해서 복원 과정에서 발생하는 손실 정보를 추정하고, 추정한 손실 정보를 복원된 영상에 적용하여 최종적으로 영상 복원 결과를 향상시킨다. 동일한 위성 영상을 이용한 비교 실험에서 기존의 방법들보다 주관적 화질 개선이 뚜렷함을 알 수 있었고, 객관적 화질 비교인 PSNR에서도 $2.68\sim4.22dB$의 향상된 결과를 나타내었다. 제안하는 방법은 위성 영상 분석을 비롯하여 영상 복원을 이용하는 다양한 응용 환경에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Like other computer vision research trends, research using satellite images was able to achieve rapid growth with the development of GPU-based computer computing capabilities and deep learning methodologies related to image processing. As a result, satellite images are being used in various fields, and the number of studies on how to use satellite images is increasing. Therefore, in this paper, we will introduce the field of research and utilization of satellite images and datasets that can be used for research using satellite images. First, studies using satellite images were collected and classified according to the research method. It was largely classified into a Regression-based Approach and a Classification-based Approach, and the papers used by other methods were summarized. Next, the datasets used in studies using satellite images were summarized. This study proposes information on datasets and methods of use in research. In addition, it introduces how to organize and utilize domestic satellite image datasets that were recently opened by AI hub. In addition, I would like to briefly examine the limitations of satellite image-related research and future trends.

본 연구에서는 최근 어류 폐사, 상수원 오염 등의 피해를 발생시키고 있는 녹조를 대상으로 위성영상을 이용한 발생 유무와 분포를 분석하고자 하였다. 녹조는 엽록소를 가지고 광합성을 하므로 식생과 매우 유사한 분광특성을 가진다. 이는 위성영상에서 제공하는 근적외 정보로부터 정규식생지수를 산출하고 그 변화를 분석함으로써 녹조 발생 유무를 식별해낼 수 있음을 의미한다. 연구 대상지역인 대청호는 올해 첫 조류경보가 발령된 수역으로 8월~10월 사이 상류지역을 중심으로 녹조가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat-8 위성영상을 이용하여 대청호에서 발생한 녹조분포를 분석하고, 그 중 높은 농도의 녹조가 발생한 추소리를 직접 방문하여 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) 자료를 취득하였다. UAV 촬영 영상을 통해 추소리 수역에 녹조가 다량 발생한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후에는 고해상도 위성영상인 플래닛스코프 위성영상을 추가적으로 활용함으로써 녹조 모니터링의 정확성과 적시성을 확보할 예정이다.

인공위성 영상자료를 이용하는 원격탐사는 지질, 환경, 지형도제작 등 다양한 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 특히 다중 및 초분광영상자료는 태양을 에너지원으로 하여 지표면 전자기파의 반응을 영상화하는 다중 및 초분광영상자료의 활용을 위해 분광반사율정보가 더욱 활발하게 이용될 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 고창지역에 대해 주기적으로 실시하고 있는 분광반사율 및 USGS 분광라이브러리 성과를 이용하여 다중파장대 위성영상자료인 ASTER와 분광반사율을 이용한 위성영상의 활용가능성 및 검보정의 가능성을 제시 하고자 한다.

최근 인공위성 영상자료의 해상도가 높아짐에 따라 영상을 통해 얻을 있는 정보의 양이 증가하고 있다. 영상의 식별력이 증가함으로써 영상에서 얻을 수 있는 정보량이 증가하지만 그와 함께 정보의 질이 향상되었다고 판단하기는 어렵기 때문에 지형과 영상의 정밀보정은 매우 중요하다 특히, 광학센서 기반의 인공위성 자료는 영상자료의 공간해상도 뿐만 아니라 촬영시기, 지형형태 둥 많은 내ㆍ외부 조건에 따른 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성은 표고가 높은 지형에서 더욱 크게 영향 받는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Kompsat EOC 및 Spot-5 등 다양한 광학위성 센서에 대한 지형효과 특성을 위성의 기하정보 등록방법에 따라 분석함으로써 자료 이용의 효용성 제고에 기여하고자 한다.

Many countries are trying to deploy satellite surveillance systems for their national defense, and one of these system uses optical systems to observe the satellites above their territories. The optical satellite surveillance system requires the coordinates of the satellites in an acquired image and expects that those coordinates to be delivered to the tracking system. The proposed method detects the satellite sources in a high-resolution image with fast image processing for the optical surveillance system. To achieve faster detection, the proposed method reduces the size of the original image and approximates the trajectory of a satellite, so image processing methods are only applied to the nearby area of the approximated trajectory in the original image. The proposed method shows the similar detection performance faster than the previous method.

Ever since high resolution satellites were launched, high-resolution satellite images have been utilized in many areas. This paper proposed methods of generating simulated satellite image using DEM(Digital Elevation Model) and digital image such as aerial photograph. There are two methods proposed in the paper: one is Direct-Indirect method and the other Indirect-Indirect, method. It is assumed that satellite attitude is not changing and perspective center is moving in the direction of flight while image is captured. The proposed methods were implemented with aerial photograph, DEM data, arbitrary orbit parameters and attitude parameters of high resolution satellite image under generation. Furthermore, for the stereo viewing, different orientation parameters and perspective center were tested for generating simulated satellite image. In addition, the quality and accuracy of the simulated satellite image generated by the proposed methods were analyzed.

Arriving in the new space age, securing technology for fusion application of KOMPSAT-3·3A and global satellite images is becoming more important. In general, multi-sensor satellite images have relative geometric errors due to various external factors at the time of acquisition, degrading the quality of the satellite image outputs. Therefore, we propose a fine-image registration methodology to minimize the relative geometric error between KOMPSAT-3·3A and global satellite images. After selecting the overlapping area between the KOMPSAT-3·3A and foreign satellite images, the spatial resolution between the two images is unified. Subsequently, tie-points are extracted using a hybrid matching method in which feature- and area-based matching methods are combined. Then, fine-image registration is performed through iterative registration based on pyramid images. To evaluate the performance and accuracy of the proposed method, we used KOMPSAT-3·3A, Sentinel-2A, and PlanetScope satellite images acquired over Daejeon city, South Korea. As a result, the average RMSE of the accuracy of the proposed method was derived as 1.2 and 3.59 pixels in Sentinel-2A and PlanetScope images, respectively. Consequently, it is considered that fine-image registration between multi-sensor satellite images can be effectively performed using the proposed method.

In this paper, we analyzed satellite image with a high resolution compression performance. We need much time in a fast processing on vast satellite image pixel data. On compressing and decompressing, we should keep the information about road, building, forest, etc. In conclusion, we did analyze and compare the performance of compression and decompression for JPEG and WSQ(wavelet scalar quantization) method. As a result, we knew that WSQ was more efficient than JPEG.
