Terretial LiDAR surveying is highly useful for maintenance of civil facilities as it can easily detect the temporal deformation of structures or topography. However, for river facilities such as levess, it is difficult to detect the deformation of the topography or structure under vegetations due to the influence of vegetation. Vegetation filters can be divided into color filters and morphological filters. In this study, combined filters with color and morphology are developed to improve the accuracy of vegetation filters. 8 color filters, 6 morphological filters, and 4 combined filters are applied to the vegetation removal on the embankment slope, and their accuracy and calculation time are compared. Color filters show a short calculation time, but the accuracy was low in the vegetation area. Morphological filters show high accuracy in the vegetation area, but low accuracy in places with severe local topographical changes such as heavy rocks. Combined filters also show a tendency similar to morphological filters, but in the case of ExGGM, the accuracy is excellent in both the vegetation and rock area. Considering the accuracy and calculation time, the combined filter ExGGM is suitable for general cases, and the shape filter GrMIn or the complex filter ExGISL is suitable for cases where the local topographical change is not severe.

레이더에 수신된 신호는 신호처리기를 통해 자료의 해석시 불필요한 지형에코를 제거하는 과정을 거친다. 신호처리기의 필터는 레이더의 기종에 따라 다르나, 일반적으로 도플러 속도나 스펙트럼 폭의 값에 따라 지형에코를 제거하며, 이 값들에 따라 번호를 부여하여 필터를 선택적으로 이용할 수 있도록 되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 국토교통부에서 운영하고 있는 비슬산 강우레이더와 소백산 강우레이더의 필터번호에 따른 반사도의 빈도 영역 그래프, 반사도-차등반사도의 빈도 산포도, 반사도와 차등반사도의 평균 및 표준편차를 통해 적정 필터를 선정하고자 하였다. 이 때, 지형에코와 기상에코의 제거 정도 확인을 위해 레이더 관측반경 50 km를 기준으로 비교를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 1번 필터 이후에는 필터에 따른 큰 변화가 없어 1번 필터를 사용하는 것이 기상에코를 보존하면서 지형에코를 제거하는 효과가 가장 좋은 것으로 판단되었다.

The paper experimentally verifies the performance of Terrain-Aided Navigation (TAN) using an interferometric radio altimeter, which is recently used due to its accuracy. First, we propose a TAN system that utilizes an interferometric radio altimeter as a measurement system. Second, we implement extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, and particle filter to evaluate the performance of TAN according to the selection of filters and the difference of environments.

Digital filters designed using wavelet theory are applied to bathymetry data acquired from KR5 area of Korea Deepsea Mining Area. The filters used in this study are the linear B-spline wavelet filter and derivative of a Cubic B-spline filter. With proper tuning of the digital filters, we can identify the location and orientation of the abyssal hill and abyssal trough in bathymetry. These features obtained from the digital filters are well correlated with bathymetric image. This quantitative information, which can be used to understand the underlying geophysical processes, can be further processed to obtain the spacing, orientation and distribution of the abyssal hill. This wavelet analysis of bathymetry provides good data to select the mining site.

This paper focuses on a performance analysis of TRN among various nonlinear filtering methods. In a TRN research, extended Kalman filter(EKF) is a basic estimation algorithm. In this paper, iterated EKF(IEKF), EKF with stochastic linearization(SL), and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) algorithms are introduced to compare navigation performance with original EKF. In addition to introduced sequential filters, bank of Kalman filters method, which is one of the batch method, is also presented. Finally, by simulating an artificial aircraft mission, EKF with SL was chosen as the most consistent filter in the introduced sequential filters. Also, results suggested that the bank of Kalman filters can be alternative for TRN, when a fast convergence of navigation solution is needed.

By using an algorithm derived by a multiple linear regression analysis, a technique for filtering was developed; and by using the developed technique, the results of conducting filtering of the raw data collected via scanning with a terrestrial LiDAR the actual sloped terrain was analyzed. As such, when filtering was applied by dividing the observation areas into two areas with the topographical line as a reference in order to improve the filtering accuracy, it was seen that the filtering accuracy improved by about 8.73% as compared to when filtering was applied without dividing the observation area. In addition, considering the fact that the accuracy improved by 5~7% when the sloped sides of a multicurvature topography were divided and a complex filtering applied as compared to when filtering was applied for the entire area or by regions, it can be asserted that the accuracy was higher when a complex filtering was conducted by dividing the sloped areas where the slope is not constant due to the multi-curvature of topography.

This paper proposes an application of unscented Kalman filter(UKF) for localization of an underwater robot. The method compares the bathymetric measurement from the robot with the seabed terrain information. For the measurement of bathymetric range to seabed, it uses a DVL which typically yields four range data together with velocity of the robot. Usual extended Kalman filter is not appropriated for application in case of terrain navigation, since it is not feasible to derive Jacobian for the bathymetric range measurement. Though particle filter(PF) is a nice solution which doesn't require Jacobian and can deal with non-linear and non-Gaussian system and measurement, it suffers from heavy computational burden. The paper compares the localization performance and the computation time of the UKF approach and PF approach. Though there have been some UKF methods which are used for underwater navigation, application of the UKF for bathymetric localization is rare. Especially, the proposed method uses only four range data whereas many of the bathymetric navigation methods have used multibeam sonar which yields hundreds of scanned range data. The result shows feasibility of the UKF approach for terrain-based navigation using small numbers of range data.

Recent advances in airborne LiDAR technology allow rapid and inexpensive measurements of topography over large areas. The generation of DTM/DEM is essential to numerous applications such as the fields of civil engineering, environment, city planning and flood modeling. The demand for LiDAR data is increasing due to the reduced cost for DTM generation and the increased reliability, precision and completeness. In order to generate DTM, measurements from non-ground features such as building and vegetation have to be classified and removed. In this paper, a segmented morphology filter was developed to detect non-ground LiDAR measurements. First, segments LiDAR point clouds based on the elevation. Secondly classifies those protruding segments into non-ground points. Those non-ground points such as building and vegetation are removed, while ground points are preserved for DTM generation. For experiments, data sets used in Comparison of Filters (ISPRS, 2003) depicting urban and rural areas were selected. The experimental results show that the proposed filter can remove most of the non-ground points effectively with less commission and omission errors.

본 고는 국내외의 지형참조항법시스템 관련 기술의 발전 동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 지형참조항법은 국외에서 1940년대부터 그 필요성이 대두된 학문으로 잠수정, 군용 전투기 등 다양한 분야에서 주로 군사목적으로 연구가 진행되었다. 1950년 ATRAN의 개발을 시작으로 1990년대 PTAN 지형참조항법기술까지 발전되어 무인기뿐만 아닌 Tomahawk 같은 유도무기에도 그 활용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 하지만 하드웨어적인 제약과 GPS의 발달로 관련 연구가 주춤하였으나 컴퓨터 기술의 발달, 지형측정센서의 정확도 향상과 더불어 GPS 교란 가능성 등이 부각되면서 최근 다시 관성항법시스템(INS)을 보조하는 대체 항법으로서 주목받고 있다. 주로 다중 측정치를 이용하는 방법과 비선형 필터를 이용하여 항법해 성능을 향상시키거나 병렬 다중필터를 이용하여 항법해의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 방향으로 연구가 진행 중이다. 그리고 다양한 지구물리데이터와 통합한 데이터베이스기반 복합항법 기술로 발전하고 있다.

The need for edge detection about topography data from the high resolution satellite imagery is happening with increasing frequency according to many people utilize the its imagery as various fields recently. Many experts is recognizing of other GIS will make use of the road detection from the high resolution satellite imagery, including ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) and urban planning. This paper is comparative analysis of LPF (Low Pass Filtering) and HPF (High Pass Filtering) for roads edge detection from high resolution satellite imagery. As a result, LPF and HPF can be highlight selective pixels at edge area about input data. In case or applying to other techniques such as LPF for the same purpose, they aye more effective for wide road width which often cause the slight distortion of boundary or overall change of brightness values on the whole Image. Whereas, HPF has ability to enhance selectively detailed components in a target image.
