  • The Bio-Inspired System focuses on the creation of an effective system model for massive network applications and is being widely developed. However, the system has a problem-difficulty implementing three features in the system, which includes scalability, adaptability and survivability. To solve this problem, we designed an Ecogent as a multiple intelligence agent, and a Bio-platform to address the three features of scalability, adaptability and survivability. The Bio-Inspired System Platform consists of an ERS (Ecogent Runtime Services) Platform and a Bio-Platform. The ERS platform serves the basic functions of mobile agents, such as Registration, Life Cycle, Migration, Communication, Location and Fault Tolerance. The Bio-Platform includes the functions of Evolution Control and Stigmergy Control to address evolution and adaptation.

  • There are many methods for Human-Computer Interface. Recently, many researchers are studying about Brain-Signal this is because not only the disabled can use a computer by their thought without their limbs but also it is convenient to general people. But, studies about it are early stages. This paper proposes an EEG signals measurement and analysis methods for Brain-Computer Interface. Our purpose of this research is recognition of subject's intention when they imagine moving their arms. EEG signals are recorded during imaginary movement of subject's arms at electrode positions Fp1, Fp2, C3, C4. We made an analysis ERS(Event-Related Synchronization) and ERD(Event-Related Desynchronization) which are detected when people move their limbs in the ${\mu}$ waves and ${\beta}$ waves. Results of this research showed that ${\mu}$ waves are decreased and ${\beta}$ waves are increased at left brain during the imaginary movement of right hand. In contrast, ${\mu}$ waves are decreased and ${\beta}$ waves are increased at right brain during the imaginary movement of left hand.

  • Ocean tides in Antarctica are not well constrained mostly due to the lack of tidal observations. Especially, tides underneath and around ice shelves are uncertain. InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data has been used to observe ice shelf movements primarily caused by ocean tides. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to estimate tidal constituents underneath the Sulzberger ice shelf, West Antarctica, solely using ERS-1/2 tandem mission DInSAR (differential InSAR) observations. In addition, the tidal constituents can be estimated in a high-resolution (~200 m) grid which is beyond any tidal model resolution. We assume that InSAR observed ocean tidal heights can be derived after correcting the InSAR data for the effect of atmospheric loading using the inverse barometric effect, solid earth tides, and ocean tide loading. The ERS (European Remote Sensing) tandem orbit configuration of a 1-day separation between SAR data takes diminishes the sensitivity to major tidal constituents including $K_1$ and $S_2$. Here, the dominant tidal constituent $O_1$ is estimated using 8 differential interferograms underneath the Sulzberger ice shelf. The resulting tidal constituent is compared with a contemporary regional tide model (CATS2008a) and a global tide model (TPXO7.1). The InSAR estimated tidal amplitude agrees well with both models with RMS (root-mean-square) differences of < 2.2 cm and the phase estimate corroborating both tide models to within $8^{\circ}$. We conclude that fine spatial scale (~200 m) Antarctic ice shelf ocean tide determination is feasible for dominant constituents using C-band ERS-1/2 tandem mission InSAR.

  • Use of coherence data from operational satellite based SAR sensors has been experimented both on C and L band to identify landcover in tropics. While coherence data proved useful to improve accuracy in landcover identification, such data are not readily available. On the other hand, integrated use of backcatter data by multiple satellites is readily feasible. The very question to be asked is whether integration of backscatter data on multiple bands (e.g. C and L band) is either inferior or superior to use of coherence data. We therefore still do not have a solid clue to answer to the very question. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of "integrated use" of backscatter data on C and L band (by ERS and JERS respectively) to identify landcover, vis-a-vis the same by combination of backscatter and coherence data by single satellite. The study was carried out for an area in the southern part of the Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The area has been intensively converted from natural forest into plantation. Five categories of landcover exist in this study area. By ERS-1, only 2 or 3 classes may be identified with the backscatter data alone, while adding the coherence data could delineate 4 classes. By JERS-1, only 3 to 4 classes may be identified with the backscatter data alone, while 4 classes could be clearly delineated by adding the coherence data. By integrating backscatter data on two bands, 4 to 5 classes may be identified. It represents the best results among cases examined. The outcome of the study suggests that integrated use of backscatter data on two bands by ERS and JERS is as powerful as use of backscatter and coherence data on single band by one of these satellite.

  • Calibration and Validation are major element of any space borne Earth Observation Mission. These activities are the major objective of the commissioning phases but routine activities shall be maintained during the whole mission in order to maintain the quality of the product delivered to the users or at least to fully characterise the evolution with time of the product quality. With the launch of ERS-l in 1991, the European Space Agency decided to put in place a group dedicated to these activities, along with the daily monitoring of the product quality for anomaly detection and algorithm evolution. These four elements are all strongly linked together. Today this group is fully responsible for the monitoring of two ESA missions, ERS-2 and Envisat, for a total of 12 instruments of various types, preparing itself for the Earth Explorer series of five. other satellites (Cryosat, Goce, SMOS, ADM-Aeolus, Swarm) and at various levels in past and future Third Party Missions such as Landsat, J-ERS, ALOS and KOMPSAT. The Joint proposal by the European Union and the European Space Agency for a 'Global Monitoring for Environment and Security' project (GMES), triggers a review of the scope of these activities in a much wider framework than the handling of single missions with specific tools, methods and activities. Because of the global objective of this proposal, it is necessary to put in place Multi-Mission Calibration and Validation systems and procedures. GMES Calibration and Validation activities will rely on multi source data access, interoperability, long-term data preservation, and definition standards to facilitate the above objectives. The scope of this presentation is to give an overview of the current Calibration and Validation activities at ESA, and the planned evolution in the context of GMES.

  • 한반도 주변해역에서의 해수면 고도는 1993년부터 2005년까지의 기간 동안 연평균 3.89 mm $yr^{-1}$ 상승하였으며, 이는 전세계 해수면 상승률의 1.3배에 해당한다. 본 연구에서는 AVISO (Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data)에서 제공하는 복합위성자료 (Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1, ERS, Envisat)인 DT-MSLA (Delayed Time - Maps of Sea Level Anomalies)를 이용하여 동해와 황해, 남해, 한국해협에서의 해수면 고도 변화를 연구하였다. 해수면 고도의 평균적인 변화는 증가하는 경향을 보임과 동시에, 여름에는 $4{\sim}5$년,겨울에는 3년의 주기성을 가지고 진동하였다. 조화분석을 통하여 해수면 고도와 해수면 온도의 연주기 모드와 반년주기 모드의 진폭과 위상을 나타내었다. 해수면 고도의 연주기 진폭은 한반도 주변해역에서 남동쪽이 높게,북서쪽이 낮게 나타나는 반면, 해수면 온도는 이와는 반대의 분포를 보였다. 월별 해수면 고도와 해수면 온도의 상관을 구한 결과,$6{\sim}8$월에 동해와 남해에서 1 / 2달 시간지연 일 때,상관계수가 0.7정도로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 여름철 동해와 남해가 쿠로시오 해류의 영향을 크게 받고 있음을 짐작할 수 있다.

  • Nowadays, SAR Interferometry is actively being studied as a new technique in topographic mapping using satellite imagery. It extracts height values using phase information derived by two SAR imageries covering same areas. Unlike when using SPOT imagery, it is not affected by atmospheric conditions and time. So to speak, we can say that SAR Interferometry is flexible in imagery acquisitions and can get height data economically over wide area. So, it is expected that SAR Interferometry will be widely using in GIS applications. But, in some area occurring geometric distortion, height data are misjudged or not extracted depending on phase unwrapping algorithms. IN the case of ERS tandem data, the accuracy of height data was worst in mountain area. It is the because of the short incidence angle resulted in layover effect. Of the phase unwrapping algorithms, path-following was better in height accuracy but could not get data in layover area. In this area, we could get height data using Height Sensitivity. In concludion, we could get DEM that maintained the accuracy of path-following method and have overall data across imagery.

  • We investigated the distribution of sea ice using Topex/Poseidon (T/P) and ERS-1 .ada. altimeter data in the northwest Weddell Sea, Antarctica, between the area $45-75^{\circ}W\;and\;55-66^{\circ}S$. Using the Geo_Bad_1 flag of the Merged GDR of the T/P, we classified the surface into ocean, land, and sea. Total 257 cycles of altimeter measurements between Oct. 1992 and Sep. 1999 (for nearly 2570 days) were used to analyze the distribution of the Antarctic sea ice. We then calculated the surface area of ice coverage using SUTM20 map projection to monitor the periodic variations. Each year, the maximum and minimum coverage of the sea ice were found in late August and February in the study area, respectively. We also studied the sea ice distribution using ERS-1 altimeter data between $45-75^{\circ}W\;and\;55-81.5^{\circ}S$ to compare with the T/P Using the Valid/Invalid flag of the Ocean Product, we analyzed the sea ice distribution between March and August of 1995, which showed very good coherence with the T/P measurements. Our preliminary results showed that the altimeter measurements can be effectively used to monitor the distribution of the sea ice in the polar region. However, the size of radar footprint, typically 2-6km depending on the roughness of the sea surface, may be too big to monitor the sharp boundary between ice and water/land. If more other altimeter mission data with dense coverage such as Geosat GM are analyzed together, this limitation can be significantly improved. If we also combine other microwave remote sensing data such as radiometer, and SSM/I, the result will be significantly enhanced.
