Total length of stream networks and main stream length vary with topographic map scales, and the stream length of drainage basin on topographic map can be viewed as a fractal. Total length of stream network and main stream length are represented as only stream area ratio($R_a$) based on Horton's laws, thereafter the fractal dimensions of stream network and main stream length are derived as a simple function of stream length($R_L$) and stream area ratios($R_a$) respectively. The derived equations of fractal dimension are applied to Sansung basin in Kum River and compared with the equations already existed. The stream network appeared as space filling with fractal dimension near 2 as map scale increases, while main stream length shows near 1. The results of this study are expected to be helpful in the quantitative analysis of drainage network composition with map scale.

This study investigates the battle map in 'the journal of armed forces (陣中日誌)' that is written by Japanese 14th infantry battalion to defeat Korean resistance. The analysis of the battle archives shows that the use of topographic maps led to an overwhelming victory to the Japanese military. In addition, the map used by Japanese military was proven to be a hand copy of 1:50,000 scale field surveyed topographic map, called as the secret military map. The Japanese military generally used 1: 50,000 scale maps. However, the Japanese military sometimes used magnified 1:20,000 scale maps for more accurate military operations.

Development of methodologies to generate the small scale map from the large scale map using map generalization has huge importance in management of the digital topographic map, such as producing and updating maps. In this study, the selection methodology of map generalization for the road network data in digital topographic map is investigated and evaluated. The existing maps with 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 scales are compared and the criteria for selection of the road network data, which are the number of objects and the relative importance of road network, are analyzed by using the T$\ddot{o}$pfer's radical law and Logit model. The selection model derived from the analysis result is applied to the test data, and the road network data of 1:18,000 and 1:72,000 scales from the digital topographic map of 1:5,000 scale are generated. The generalized results showed that the road objects with relatively high importance are selected appropriately according to the target scale levels after the qualitative and quantitative evaluations.

In this study 3D topographic modeling was made by using aerial photography and digital terrain map, through this we did visibility analysis and implemented Web GIS of Dong-A university. Studying area was Busan Saha-gu Hadan-dong, we used aerial photography on a scale of 1:20,000 and digital terrain map on a scale of 1:5,000. Ortho correction image was made by aerial photography through selecting GCP, image matching, image resampling and precise differential rectification. And DEM on digital map was created using ArcView program, making 3D topographic modeling by road layer and building layer and implementing Web GIS about Dong-A university.

In this study, it was estimated efficiency of GPS/INS photogrammetry by comparison of accuracy and economical efficiency between conventional aerial triangulation and GPS/INS aerial triangulation at the base of large scale digital mapping using GPS/INS aerial survey. The results of aerial triangulation with GPS/INS showed that 40% of working amount was reduced in the process of ground control point survey compared to conventional aerial triangulation. In case of 1/5000 scale aerial triangulation, the results showed that 55% GCP work was reduced in 10 and 20 block size, and 60% GCP work was reduced in 30 block size, under the assumption of keeping the same accuracy.

Recently as map making skills developed and as digital maps prevailed, peoples began to take interest in the realistic 3dimension topography rather than the flat 2 dimension one. The experiment is done by using the topographical information from the digital maps, To analyze the preciseness of this 3dimension topography, analysis of the coordinate-changed standard map image and the location errors of the plane and height from digital values of the map's topography by layers and features, were done. The visual results of locational values differed by every programs of coordinate transformation. Errors of locations also appeared from the methods of correcting the visual sources, when deciding the standard source's datum point. The plan's accuracy of the image data coordinate transformation is about ${\pm}4.1m$. In ground distance, therefore, it is included in the allowed error of the 1:25,000 scale changed map, satisfying the plan's accuracy. Also, by the use of reasonably spaced grid, it satisfied the visual topographical accuracy. Because the 3 dimension topographical map can be produced effectively and rapidly by using various scale's standard map image and the digital map, the further practical use of 3 dimension topographic map made by using the existing topographies and changed maps has high expectations.

The Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph method is selected to apply the concept of the fractal dimension by stream order for the practicable rainfall-runoff generation, and fourth types of the Snyder's relation are derived from topographic and observed unit hydrograph data of twenty-nine basins. As a result of the analysis of twenty-nine basins and the verification of two basins, the Snyder's relation which considers the fractal dimension of the stream length and uses calculated unit hydrograph data shows the best result. The concept of the fractal dimension by stream order is applied to the Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph method. The topographic factors, used in the Snyder's synthetic unit hydrograph method, which have a property of the stream length like $L_{ma}$ (mainstream length) and $L_{ca}$ (length along the mainstream to a point nearest the watershed centroid) were considered. In order to simplify the fractal property of stream length, it is supposed that $L_{ma}$ has not the fractal dimension and the stream length between $L_{ma}$ and ($L_{ma}\;-\;L_{ca}$) has the fractal dimension of 1.027. From the utilization of this supposition, a new Snyder's relation which consider the fractal dimension of the stream length occurred by the map scale used was finally suggested.

Recently, demand for the use of cadastral map is increasing in both public and private area. To use cadastral map in web or mobile environment, construction of the multi-representation database(MRDB) that is the compressed into multiple scale from the original map data is recommended. In this study, the map generalization methodology for the cadastral map by applying overlay with topographic map and polygon generalization technique is suggested. This process is composed of three steps, re-constructing the network data of topographic map, polygon merging of parcel lines according to network degree, and applying line simplification techniques. Proposed methodologies are applied to the cadastral map in Suwon area. The result map was generalized into 1:5,000, 1:20,000, 1:100,000 scale, and data compression ratio was shown in 15% 8% 1% level respectively.

To obtain large scale precise geographical information in local area we determined external orientation parameters of camn exactly and conducted aerial photography using remote control airship loaded 35mm non-metric camera that produced systematic error coefficients. Ground control Points were determined by differential GPS. Therefore we can try to improve accuracy and economical efficiency. Also, it is suggested that remote control airship photogrammetry can be applied to make large scale topographic map using analytical plotter as calibrated accuracy.

An airborne LiDAR system performs several observations on flight routes to collect data of targeted regions accompanying with discrepancies between the collected data strips of adjacent routes. This paper aims to present an automatic error correction technique using modified ICP as a way to remove relative errors from the observed data of strip data between flight routes and to make absolute correction to the control data. A control point data from the existing digital topographic map were created and the modified ICP algorithm was applied to perform the absolute automated correction on the relatively adjusted airborne LiDAR data. Through such process we were able to improve the absolute accuracy between strips within the average point distance of airborne LiDAR data and verified the possibility of automation in the geometric corrections using a large scale digital map.
