The Korea multi-purpose satellite (KOMPSAT) series consisting of multi-sensors has been used in various fields such as land, environmental monitoring, and disaster analysis since its first launch in 1999. Recently, as various information processing technologies (high-speed computing technology, computer vision, artificial intelligence, etc.) that are rapidly developing are utilized in the field of remote sensing, it has become possible to develop more various satellite image processing and analysis algorithms. In this special issue, we would like to introduce recently researched technologies related to the KOMPSAT image application and research topics participated in the 2023 Satellite Information Application Contest.

Earth observation satellites data apply to various fields and global satellite imagery market continues to expand with increasing the scale according to the developed satellites. Sudden natural disasters frequently have occurred in Japan. ALOS satellite data support to repair the damaged area and mitigate the disasters in Japan as well as all around the world. In this paper, the status of remote sensing and data policy in Japan are described. In addition, satellite-based remote sensing technology effectively contribute to the public sector and related support to establish the infra system of satellite application promotion has been investigated.

This paper will show examples and methods of spatial relationship operations that extract spatial information from satellite images. Geographical information system phenomena of complex and variant real world can abstract and implement simple features. The abstract features classify geo_objects and geo_field. The geo_object and the geo_field can represent vector and raster respectively. The raster based satellite image can use remote sensing applications. This paper needs topology operations and geometric operations for extracting the remote sensing. The spatial information transforms the raster based image to the vector based object, and extract from the spatial information. The extracted information will contribute on the application of the remote sensing satellite images.

광물탐사 과정 중에 원격탐사 기법을 도입하면 지표 광역조사를 보다 효율적으로 수행할 수 있다. 위성영상에서 특정 광물의 분포 위치와 분포량에 대한 분석을 수행하기 위해서는 대상 광물의 분광반사특성을 분류 기준으로 선정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 광산 및 채석장에서 채취한 광물과 암석 시료를 이용하여 구성 광물을 분석하고 분광반사특성을 측정하였다. 다양한 위성영상들의 구성 밴드들에 대한 파장영역을 추출하고 측정된 분광반사특성 자료를 추출된 파장영역으로 재구성하여 광물 및 암석들의 고유한 분광특성들의 보존 유무에 대해 분석을 수행하였다.

Land Remote Sensing' is defined as the science (and to some extent, art) of acquiring information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it. Narrowly speaking, this is done by sensing and recording reflected or emitted energy and processing, analyzing, and applying that information. Remote sensing technology was initially developed with certain purposes in mind ie. military and environmental observation. However, after 1970s, as these high-technologies were taught to private industries, remote sensing began to be more commercialized. Recently, we are witnessing a 0.61-meter high-resolution satellite image on a free market. While privatization of land remote sensing has enabled one to use this information for disaster prevention, map creation, resource exploration and more, it can also create serious threat to a sensed nation's national security, if such high resolution images fall into a hostile group ie. terrorists. The United States, a leading nation for land remote sensing technology, has been preparing and developing legislative control measures against the remote sensing industry, and has successfully created various policies to do so. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's authority under the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act, the US can restrict sensing and recording of resolution of 0.5 meter or better, and prohibit distributing/circulating any images for the first 24 hours. In 1994, Presidential Decision Directive 23 ordered a 'Shutter Control' policy that details heightened level of restriction from sensing to commercializing such sensitive data. The Directive 23 was even more strengthened in 2003 when the Congress passed US Commercial Remote Sensing Policy. These policies allow Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to set up guidelines in authorizing land remote sensing, and to limit sensing and distributing satellite images in the name of the national security - US government can use the civilian remote sensing systems when needed for the national security purpose. The fact that the world's leading aerospace technology country acknowledged the magnitude of land remote sensing in the context of national security, and it has made and is making much effort to create necessary legislative measures to control the powerful technology gives much suggestions to our divided Korean peninsula. We, too, must continue working on the Korea National Space Development Act and laws to develop the necessary policies to ensure not only the development of space industry, but also to ensure the national security.

This paper describes an algorithm which was developed for removing along-track and across-track striping effect shown in JERS-1 OPS/VNIR images. A statistical algorithm was implemented based on the mean brightness value of each along-track and across-track line. Different from any filtering techniques in either spatial or frequency domain, the developed algorithm does not change the radiometric characteristics of image pixels. The algorithm will be inserted to the JERS-1 OPS image data processing chain in the Satellite Technology Research Center direct receiving station.
