A handful of previous studies have attempted to integrate socioeconomic data and remotely sensed data for urban quality of life assessment with their spatial dimension in a zonal unit. However, such a zone-based approach not only has the unrealistic assumption that all attributes of a zone are uniformly spatially distributed throughout the zone, but also has resulted in serious methodological difficulties such as the modifiable areal unit problem and the incompatibility problem with environmental data. An alternative to the zone-based approach can be a pixel-based approach which gets its spatial dimension through a pixel. This paper proposes a pixel-based approach to linking remotely sensed data with socioeconomic data in GIS for urban quality of life assessment. The pixel-based approach uses dasymetric mapping and spatial interpolation to spatially disaggregate socioeconomic data and integrates remotely sensed data with spatially disaggregated socioeconomic data for the quality of life assessment. This approach was implemented and compared with a zone-based approach using a case study of Fulton County, Georgia. Results indicate that the pixel-based approach allows for the calculation of a microscale indicator in the urban quality of life assessment and facilitates efficient data integration and visualization in the assessment although it costs an intermediate step with more processing time such as the disaggregation of zonal data. The results also demonstrate that the pixel-based approach opens up the potential for the development of new database and increased analytical capabilities in urban analysis.

건물이 밀집된 도심지역을 촬영한 두 시기 항공영상에 화소기반 변화탐지 기법인 영상대차(Image Differencing), 영상중첩 분석(Image Overlay)기법을 적용하여 넓은 대도심지역의 효율적인 변화탐지 가능성을 살펴보았다. 영상대차(Image Differencing) 기법은 알고리즘이 간단하고 정량적인 분석이 가능한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 고층건물밀집지역을 보여주고 있는 고해상도 항공영상의 적용과정에서는 폐색영역, 그림자 등으로 인해 정확한 변화탐지 결과를 보여주지 못했다. 영상중첩 분석(Image Overlay)기법은 한 번에 두 개 또는 세 개의 영상을 비교 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 직관적인 분석만을 제공하고 정량적인 분석이 불가능하였다. 현재의 화소기반 영상변화탐지 기술수준으로는 고해상도 공간영상에 대한 신뢰도 높은 변화탐지 분석결과를 얻을 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다.

Despite the continuing effort to estimate the value of function and services of ecosystem, most of the researches has used low and medium resolution satellite imagery such as MODIS or Landsat. It means that the researches to measure the ecosystem service value using VHR (Very High Resolution) satellite imagery have not been performed much, while the source of available VHR imagery is increasing. Thus, the aim of this study is to estimate and compare the result of ecosystem service value over Sejong city, S. Korea, which is one of the rapidly changed city, through the pixel-based and object-based classification analysis using VHR KOMPSAT-3 images, for more specific and precise information. In the result of the classification, forest and grassland were underestimated while agriculture and urban were overestimated in the pixel-based result compared to the object-based result. Furthermore, bare soil area was presented contrasting result that was increased in the pixel-based result, however, decreased in the object-based result. Using those results, ecosystem service values were estimated. The annual ecosystem service values in 2014 were $8.18 million USD(pixel-based) and $8.63 million USD(object-based), however, decreased to $7.80 million USD(pixel-based) and $8.62 million USD(object-based) in 2016. It is expected to use those results as a preliminary data when to make sustainable development plan and policy to improve the quality of life in the local level.

This paper describes an analysis on the granular noise in pixel-to-pixel mapping-based computational integral imaging. The pixel mapping-based method provides a high-resolution reconstructed images and also its computational cost is very lower than the previous back-projection-based method. In this paper, a signal model for the pixel mapping-based method is introduced, which defines and analyzes the granular noise. Computer experiments provides the granular noise properties based on the proposed signal model. The experimental results indicates that the granular noise pattern differs from that of the back-projection based method. The results is also utilized in the pixel mapping-based method.

본 논문에서는 중요도 지도를 사용한 화소값 사이 척력 기반 영상 대조비 향상 기법을 제안한다. 공간상에서 인접한 화소들 사이에 자주 발생하는 화소값들의 차이를 크게 하면 효과적으로 영상의 디테일을 두드러지게 할 수 있다. 대조비 증가를 위해 화소값 사이 척력을 정의하고, 유효 화소값 사이 척력들의 합을 사용하여 대조비의 증가 정도를 조절한다. 중요도 지도는 영상의 화소마다 사람의 시선이 머무르는 정도를 상대적인 수치로 나타낸 것이다. 따라서 영상 화질을 개선할 때 중요도 지도를 사용하면 사람의 시선을 끄는 화소값들의 대조비를 선택적으로 높일 수 있다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안 기법이 우수한 화질개선 영상을 생성함을 확인한다.

Change detection, one of the main applications of multi-temporal satellite images, is an indicator that directly reflects changes in human activity. Change detection can be divided into pixel-based change detection and object-based change detection. Although pixel-based change detection is traditional method which is mostly used because of its simple algorithms and relatively easy quantitative analysis, applying this method in VHR (Very High Resolution) images cause misdetection or noise. Because of this, pixel-based change detection is less utilized in VHR images. In addition, the sensor of acquisition or geographical characteristics bring registration noise even if co-registration is conducted. Registration noise is a barrier that reduces accuracy when extracting spatial information for utilizing VHR images. In this study object-based change detection of VHR images was performed considering registration noise. In this case, object-based change detection results were derived considering various pixel-based change detection methods, and the major voting technique was applied in the process with segmentation image. The final object-based change detection result applied by the proposed method was compared its performance with other results through reference data.

This paper showed how to analysis the object-based classification for wildfire fuel type map using Hyperion hyperspectral remote sensing data acquired in April, 2002 and compared the results of the object-based classification with the results of the pixel-based classification. Our methodological approach for wildfire fuel type map firstly processed correcting abnormal pixels and atypical bands and also calibrating atmospheric noise for enhanced image quality. Fuel type map is characterized by the results of the spectral mixture analysis(SMA). Object-based approach was based on segment-based endmember selection, while pixel-based method used standard SMA. To validate and compare, we used true-color high resolution orthoimagery.

In this paper, a fast stereo matching algorithm based on pixel-wise matching strategy, which can get a stable and accurate disparity map, is proposed. Since a stereo image pair has small differences each other and the differences between left and right images are just caused by horizontal shifts with some order, the matching using a large window will not be needed within a given search range. However, disparity results of conventional pixel-based matching methods are somewhat unstable and wrinkled, the principal direction of disparities is checked by the accumulated cost along a path on array with the dynamic programming method. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could remove almost all disparity noise and set a good quality disparity map in very short time.

Conventional pixel based region segmentation methods have problems of long processing time and incorrect region split on account of performing region split through comparison of neighboring pixels. In this paper, we propose the method which segments a large size of satellite image effectively using modified centroid linkage method. This method is a sort of region split and merge. The proposed method merges pixels and makes them as a new region through only two directional comparing the current positioning pixel with neighbor ones, if they are satisfied with given conditions. Therefore, this method has less comparing time than the cases of previous ones. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is very efficient because of having less processing time and more exact segmented regions than the previous ones.
