Ortho images and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) have been applied in various fields. It is necessary to acquire Ground Control Points (GCPs) for processing high resolution satellite images. However surveying GCPs require many time and expense. This study was performed to investigate whether GCPs automatically extracted from ortho images and DTED Level 2 can be applied to sensor modeling for high resolution satellite images. We analyzed the performance of the sensor model established by GCPs extracted automatically. We acquired GCPs by matching satellite image against ortho images. We included the height acquired from DTED Level 2 data in these GCPs. The spatial resolution of the DTED Level 2 data is about 30m. Absolution accuracy of this data is below 18m above MSL. The spatial resolution of ortho image is 1m. We established sensor model from IKONOS images using GCPs extracted automatically and generated DEMs from the images. The accuracy of sensor modeling is about $4{\sim}5$ pixel. We also established sensor models using GCPs acquired based on GPS surveying and generated DEMs. Two DEMs were similar. The RMSE of height from the DEM by automatic GCPs and DTED Level 2 is about 9 m. So we think that GCPs by DTED Level 2 and ortho image can use for IKONOS sensor modeling.

The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do using GIS and DTED data. The characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do are as follows; First, the height-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}580m$, and the average elevation of it is 124m. Volcanic and granite region is mainly appeared at high elevation-region. But, we can't find out outstanding difference of elevation, according to its geology. The second. the slope-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}52$ degree, and the average slope of it is 17.6 degree. The slope of volcanic and granite area is more steeper than any other region. But the results of analysis of the geology in Geojo-Do, don't show outstanding difference of the slope. The third, the area-rate of the aspect of Geoje-Do is almost same in all direction. And the area-rate of south-west direction is the highest. According to the geology of Geoje-Do, granite is distributed the most widely, and the area of volcanic and granite occupy 60% of entire island's area. According to analysis of influence of geology with elevation, geology has little relationship with elevation. According to analysis of geology and drainage network, streams are inclined to be developed well in Alluvium area. Drainage network is well developed throughout the entire island, except southeast area. The highest order of stream is 4 in 1:25,000 topographic map. The density of stream in Geoje-Do is very high, such as 1.6. The bifurcation-ratio of stream is also higher than 4 in all order. The length-ratio of stream is ranged from 1.24 to 3.25. According to the relationship between order and elevation. order is the greater, elevation is the lower. According to the relationship between order and slope, order is the greater, slope is the gentler. In this study, we use DTED Data, and compare it with topographic map data. According to the comparison, there is a little difference between DTED data and topographic map data. Therefore, to use DTED data in landform analysis, it is required coordinate matching process. This process is very important, and take very long time. Thus, if you use DTED in landform analysis, some processes are required. DTED data can be taken very easily, but its using is not simple. Because coordinate adjust is very hard work.

A watershed terrain factor is known to the very important in studies of a stream and a watershed. We have obtained the terrain factor in map directly or we have generated it in a digitalized map. In this study, DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) offering in DMA(Defense Mapping Agency) was used to create a stream and a watershed and to extract the terrain factor. As comparison of the terrain factors gererated in digitalized map with the terrain factors extracted in DTED, DTED could be used to extract a terrain factor for a watershed management.

고해상도 위성영상을 이용한 DEM 제작의 경우 영상의 센서모델과 정합을 이용한 방식이 일반적으로 사용되어 왔다. 이 방식의 경우 영상에 존재하는 건물 및 도로, 그리고 지역 등에 따라 오류가 발생하게 되며 이는 DEM의 제작 시 공백(Hole)이나, 오류(Blunder)의 원인이 된다 이 방식을 보완하기 위하여, 본 실험에서는 1m 급의 공간해상도를 가지는 스테레오 위성 영상을 이용하여 제작된 고해상도 DEM을 제작해보았으며, 전 세계적으로 제작되어 있는 30m 정확도를 가지는 DTED를 이용하여 동일지역의 DEM의 갱신을 시도하였다. 고해상도 스테레오 위성영상에서 매칭 결과로 구해진 높이 값과 30m DTED와의 결과 비교를 통해 최상위 피라미드 단계에서의 DEM의 제작 시 발생할 수 있는 에러들을 걸러냄으로 정확한 DEM의 생성을 시도하였으며, 새롭게 구해진 DEM의 높이 값을 30m DTED의 높이 값에 근사시켜 기존의 방식보다 더 부드러운 고해상도 DEM의 제작이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

DBS(Doppler Beam Sharpening) algorithm is a way to improve azimuth resolution performance in radar. Since DBS image includes the is information about the search area of radar, various clutter components exist besides the target to be detected. To detect and track the desired target in a DBS image, it must be able to identify a target and the clutter components. In this paper, we describe how to use image size and terrain information(DTED) to identify the target in a DBS image. By using morphological filter and chain code, it acquires image size and excludes the clutter components. By matching with DTED, we determine target.

If stereo images is used for Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation, a DEM is generally made by matching left image against right image from stereo images. In stereo matching, tie-points are used as initial match candidate points. The number and distribution of tie-points influence the matching result. DEM made from matching result has errors such as holes, peaks, etc. These errors are usually interpolated by neighbored pixel values. In this paper, we propose the DEM generation method combined with automatic tie-points extraction using existing DEM, image pyramid, and interpolating new DEM using existing DEM for more reliable DEM. For test, we used IKONOS, QuickBird, SPOT5 stereo images and a DTED level 2 data. The test results show that the proposed method automatically makes reliable DEMs. For DEM validation, we compared heights of DEM by proposed method with height of existing DTED level 2 data. In comparison result, RMSE was under than 15 m.

Topographic information is indispensable in the applications that require elevational data. These applications are exemplified by watershed partition, extraction of drainage networks, viewshed analysis, derivation of geomorphologic features, quantification of landslide-terrain, and identification of topographic settings susceptible to landsliding. Therefore, we study the accuracy of data on topographic parameters derived from digital elevation models(DEMs). This research wished to analyze the effect that data source and grid size get in topography parameter using gridded DEM. An analysis of topography parameter extract and compared drainage basin, watershed slope, stream network using DEM is constructed by digital map and DTED DEM. Especially, when extract stream network from gridded DEM, received much effects according to threshold value of flowaccumulation regardless of DEM grid size. Therefore, this study applied equal threshold value of flowaccumulation for two data sources, and compare and analyzed stream network.

선박조종시뮬레이터는 교육훈련생들에게 실제와 비슷한 환경을 제공하여 교육훈련의 효과를 높일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 선박조종시뮬레이터에는 선박의 정확한 수학적 모델과 실제와 거의 동일한 3차원 화면이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 전자해도와 고도데이터를 이용한 3차원 영상 제작법에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 전자해도는 전 세계적으로 표준화 되어 있어 정확성이 가장 뛰어날 뿐만 아니라 수심, 항해물표 등 각종 데이터를 가지고 있어 보다 많은 정보를 선박조종시뮬레이터에 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그리고 고도데이터의 경우 그 정확성으로 기존의 해상환경 데이터베이스보다 훨씬 현실감을 준다. 전자해도 및 고도데이터를 이용하여 해상환경을 제작 시 정확한 많은 정보의 제공이 가능하며, 기존의 방법에 비해 제작시간을 상당히 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, an Automatic Terrain Following (ATF) Simulator using Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) was proposed. This ATF Simulator consists of a Flight Simulator, a Radar Simulator, and a Terrain Following Computer (TFC) Simulator. DTED and radar scan data generated with DTED were used as the terrain information necessary for terrain following. The ATF Simulator provides three modes of operation: a passive mode that uses DTED, an active mode that uses radar scan data, and a hybrid mode that uses both. We developed an ATF Simulator that could reduce the cost and time required to develop a terrain following system using the LabVIEW development environment and the MATLAB App Designer development environment. It was verified by confirming that the ATF Simulator met all functional requirements.
