This paper presents that the comparison results of AT (Active Transponder) positions obtained from different measurements: the result of GPS device and evaluated position from the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image, and active transponders can be useful as GCPs(Ground Control Points) in SAR images. The X-band AT are installed on the wide-and-flat area to improve SCR(signal-to-clutter ration), and activated to represent impulse response function in order to operate as one point target in SAR images. Cosmo-SkyMed operating at X-band frequency are used to provide SAR images of AT. The comparison of AT position is performed by using the result of GPS device field measurement and AT SAR images. ENVI-SARscape S/W is used to evaluate AT position in the SAR images. From the comparison, it is shown that AT are useful as GCPs for SAR images.

This paper is to study the development of three dimensional Digital Surface Model (DSM) using photogrammetry technique based on self-developed Drone (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)). To develop DSM, we selected a study area in Jeju island and took 24 pictures from the drone. The three dimensional coordinates of the photos were made by Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) surveying with 10 ground control points (GCP). From the calculated three dimensional coordinates, we produced orthographic image and DSM. The accuracy of DSM was calculated using three GCPs. The average accuracy of X and Y was from 8.8 to 14.7 cm, and the accuracy of Z was 0.8 to 12.4 cm. The accuracy was less than the reference accuracy of 1/1,000 digital map provided by National Geographic Information Institute (NGII). From the results, we found that the self-developed drone and the photogrammetry technique are a useful tool to make DSM and digital map of Jeju.

연구에서는 SPOT-3 인공위성 영상으로부터 얻어진 영상 스테레오 스트립과 GCP(Ground Control Point)자료를 이용하여 다양한 GCP배치에 따른 궤도기반 센서모델의 정확성에 대해 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 기준점자료는 춘천지역에서부터 나주지역에 이르기 까지 약 420km 길이의 지역에 대해 GPS측량을 통해 획득하였다. 궤도기반 센서모델에 적용된 미지수는 위성의 위치와 속도, 자세를 표현하는 방정식의 계수를 미지수로 선택하여 일곱 가지 방식으로 조합하였다. 실험은 우선 모델점의 위치를 일곱 가지 경우로 결정하고 각 경우에 대해 일정한 개수의 모델점을 선택하였다. 그리고 각 경우의 모델점의 위치에 대해 궤도기반 센서모델의 미지수 조합 모델을 각 각 다르게 적용해 본 후 그 결과를 시각적, 수치적으로 분석해 보았다. 실험 결과 모델점의 위치에 관계 없이 궤도기반 모델에 적용할 수 있는 높은 정확도를 나타내는 미지수 조합모델을 찾아낼 수가 있었고, 여러 가지 모델점의 위치를 궤도기반 센서모델에 적용해 본 결과 지리적, 시간적, 경제적 효율성을 갖는 최적의 미지수 조합을 찾을 수가 있었다.

The 3 dimensional point positioning from SPOT imagery is performed by bundle adjustment methods of analytical and digital photogrammetry, and need the precise determination of image coordinates and accurate coordinates of ground control points. In this study, the authors analysed the digitized planimetric accuarcy and height accuracy of topographic maps in comparison with accurate coordinates by coordinates resulted by bundle adjustment in each cases between different acquisition method of ground control point coordinates and formats of SPOT imagery.

In this study, the Digital Surface Models of various spatial resolutions were constructed using LIDAR point data on Digital Photogrammetric System. Then, the accuracies of each DSM's were evaluated using GPS surveying data. And also, observable features were classified and their accuracies were evaluated to verify the availability for Ground Control Point. On Socet Set, Digial Photogrametric System 5 DSM's of which spatial resolutions were 0.15m, 0.5m, 1.0m, 2.5m and 5.0m were constructed and the accuracies of eahc DSM's evaluated in RMSE. The RMSE's of each DSM's were 0.03m, 0.05m, 0.08m, 0.12m and 0,19m. The building feature was observable in DSM's of which spatial resolutions were 0.15m, 0.30m and 0.50m. On the contrary, it could hardly be observed in those of other spatial resolutions. In comparison with the digital map at the scale of 1:1,000, the DSM at the spatial resolution of 0.lim was shifted horizaltally by 0.6m-0.7m of RMSE in each X, Y direction. Therefore, GCP of which horizontal RMSE is better than 1m can be obtained from the DSM at the spatial resolution of 0.15m, of which vertical RMSE is 0.03m-0.19m as the RMSE of DSM. This point cannot be used in aerial triangulation of cartography but can be used for GCP in modeling of satellite image at the moderate resolution.

With the recent global and domestic development of Earth observation satellites, the applications of satellite images have been widened. Research for improving the geometric accuracy of satellite images is being actively carried out. This paper studies the possibility of automated ground control point (GCP) generation for CAS-4 satellite, to be launched in 2025 with the capability of image acquisition at 5 m ground sampling distance (GSD). In particular, this paper focuses to check whether GCP chips with 25 cm GSD established for CAS-1 satellite images can be used for CAS-4 and to check whether optimalspatial resolution for matching between CAS-4 images and GCP chips can be determined to improve matching performance. Experiments were carried out using RapidEye images, which have similar GSD to CAS-4. Original satellite images were upsampled to make satellite images with smaller GSDs. At each GSD level, up-sampled satellite images were matched against GCP chips and precision sensor models were estimated. Results shows that the accuracy of sensor models were improved with images atsmaller GSD compared to the sensor model accuracy established with original images. At 1.25~1.67 m GSD, the accuracy of about 2.4 m was achieved. This finding lead that the possibility of automated GCP extraction and precision ortho-image generation for CAS-4 with improved accuracy.

Mobile Mapping Systems are effective systems to acquire the position and image data using vehicle equipped with the GPS (Global Positioning System), IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and CCD camera. They are used in various fields of road facility management, map update, and etc. In the general photogrammetry such as aerial photogrammetry, GCP (Ground Control Point)s are needed to compute the image exterior orientation elements (the position and attitude of camera). These points are measured by field survey at the time of data acquisition. But it costs much time and money. Moreover, it is not possible to make sufficient GCP as much as we want. However Mobile Mapping Systems are more efficient both in time and money because they can obtain the position and attitude of camera at the time of photographing. That is, Image Orientation Technique must use GCP to compute the image exterior orientation elements, but on the other hand Direct Georeferencing can directly compute the image exterior orientation elements by GPS/INS. In this paper, we analyze about the positional accuracy comparison of ground point using the Image Orientation Technique and Direct Georeferencing Technique.

The necessity of automatic precise georeferencing is increasing with the increase applications of high-resolution satellite imagery. One of the methods for collecting ground control points (GCPs) for precise georeferencing is to use chip images obtained by extracting a subset of an image map such as an ortho-aerial image, and can be automated using an image matching technique. In this case, the importance of the image matching success rate is increased due to the limitation of the number of the chip images for the known reference points such as the unified control point. This study aims to propose a method to improve the success rate of image matching between KOMPSAT-3A images and GCP chip images from aerial ortho-images. We performed the image matching with 7 cases of band pair using KOMPSAT-3A panchromatic (PAN), multispectral (MS), pansharpened (PS) imagery and GCP chip images, then compared matching success rates. As a result, about 10-30% of success rate is increased to about 40-50% when using PS imagery by using PAN and MS imagery. Therefore, using PS imagery for image matching of KOMPSAT-3A images and aerial ortho-images would be helpful to improve the matching success rate.
