We extracted narrow open water streams from JERS-1 SAR images of the Amazon rain forest. The extracted range of these streams were almost comparable to a high level extraction of the same streams from near-IR images of JERS-1 VNIR data notwithstanding that these features in SAR images show the strong dependence of the observation angle. Large water bodies are relatively easy to extract from JERS-1 SAR images, as they tend to appear as very dark areas; but streams whose width is nearly equal to or less than the spatial resolution no longer appear as very dark features. By using strong scatterers distributed sparsely along the radar facing sides of the streams, we can successfully estimate approximate ranges of waterways and then extract relatively dark line-like features within these ranges.

Korea multi-purpose satellite-5 (KOMPSAT-5) is a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite scheduled to be launched in 2010. To satisfy the precision orbit determination (POD) requirement for a high resolution synthetic aperture radar image of KOMPSAT-5, KOMPSAT-5 has atmosphere occultation POD (AOPOD) system which consists of a space-borne dual frequency global positioning system (GPS) receiver and a laser retro reflector array. A space-borne dual frequency GPS receiver on a LEO satellite provides position data for the POD and radio occultation data for scientific applications. This paper describes an overview of AOPOD system and operation concepts of the radio occultation mission in KOMPSAT-5. We showed AOPOD system satisfies the requirements of KOMPSAT-5 in performance and stability.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) signal data need a focusing procedure to make the information available to the user. In recent SAR systems, various sensing modes and mission operations are applied to acquire high-resolution SAR images. Therefore, in order to develop generalized focusing software for multi-satellites, a regularized parameter configuration that sufficiently represents sensor and platform characteristics of the SAR system is required. The objective of this paper is to introduce the consideration of parameter definition for developing a generalized SAR processor and to discuss the flexibility and extensibility of defined parameters. The proposed parameter configuration can be applied to a SAR processor. Experiments based on real data will show the suitability of the suggested processing parameters.

A direct injection sprayer was designed using the concepts of injection mixing and total flow control, flowrate-based system compensating for the variation of forwarding speed. A metered rate, proportionally to the actual diluent flow rate, of a tracer chemical was injected directly into the diluent stream. The injection of chemical may improve the precision and safety of chemical application process. The control system was evaluated for the variables of the control interval, tolerances and sensitivities of flow regulation valve and injection pump. Performance of the system was assessed as that the response time of flow rate, response time of injection rate, absolute steady state error, and the coefficient of variance(C.V.) of concentration were 8.5 and -0.53 seconds, 0.067 lpm(0.8%) and 3.15%, respectively, at optimal parameters of control interval of 1.0 sec, fast sensitivity of flow regulation valve, medium sensitivity of injection pump and medium tolerance of flow rate. Performance of the system can be improved by increasing the sensitivity of flow regulating valve and employing a high resolution velocimeter, such as Doppler radar.

In this paper, we propose the basic measurement method of a 3D digitizer using a CCD camera in detail. In the localization measurement with a CCD camera, the effect of the background light and the sensitivity consideration are always problems in realizing a high precision. In this research, a new measurement principle is proposed in which the pulse compression technique known in radar is used to eliminate the effect of background light even under a low intensity light source, and the coordinate values on the CCD camera image plane are determined accurately. From the quantitative evaluation of the S/N ratio improvement and the fundamental experiment, it is verified that a substantial improvement in the S/N ratio is realized for both the background noise and the pixel noise and that a resolution of less than the pixel is sufficiently possible.

At present, multiple input multiple output radars offer accurate target detection and better target parameter estimation with higher resolution in high-speed wireless communication systems. This study focuses primarily on power allocation to improve the performance of radars owing to the sparsity of targets in the spatial velocity domain. First, the radars are clustered using the kernel fuzzy C-means algorithm. Next, cooperative and noncooperative clusters are extracted based on the distance measured using the kernel fuzzy C-means algorithm. The power is allocated to cooperative clusters using the Pareto optimality particle swarm optimization algorithm. In addition, the Nash equilibrium particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for allocating power in the noncooperative clusters. The process of allocating power to cooperative and noncooperative clusters reduces the overall transmission power of the radars. In the experimental section, the proposed method obtained the power consumption of 0.014 to 0.0119 at K = 2, M = 3 and K = 2, M = 3, which is better compared to the existing methodologies-generalized Nash game and cooperative and noncooperative game theory.

Equivalent-time sampling can improve measurement or sensing systems because it enables a broader frequency band and higher delay resolution for periodic signals with lower sampling rates than a Nyquist receiver. Meanwhile, a digital down-conversion (DDC) technique can be implemented using a straightforward radio frequency (RF) circuit. It avoids timing skew and in-phase/quadrature gain imbalance instead of requiring a high-speed analog-to-digital converter to sample an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. Therefore, when equivalent-time sampling and DDC techniques are combined, a significant synergy can be achieved. This study provides a parameter design methodology for optimal equivalent-time sampling using DDC.

다중센서 위성영상 간 통합 분석 및 융합과 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 다중센서 영상 간 정합이 선행되어야 한다. 대표적인 정합 기법으로는 SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform)와 같은 알고리즘이 존재한다. 그러나, 광학영상과 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar)영상은 취득 시 센서 자세와 방사 특성의 상이함으로 영상 간 분광적인 특성이 비선형성을 이뤄 기존 기법을 적용하기에 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 특징기반 정합기법인 SAR-SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform)와 형상 서술자 벡터 DLSS (Dense Local Self-Similarity)를 결합하여 개선된 영상 정합기법을 제안하였다. 본 실험 지역은 대전 일대에서 촬영된 KOMPSAT-2 영상과 Cosmo-SkyMed 영상을 이용하여 실험하였다. 제안 기법을 비교평가하기 위해 특징점 및 정합쌍 추출에 대해 대표적인 기존 기법인 SIFT와 SAR-SIFT를 이용하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안 기법은 기존 기법들과 다르게 두 실험 지역에서 참정합쌍을 추출하였다. 또한 추출된 정합쌍을 통한 정합 결과 정성적으로 우수하게 정합되었으며, 정량적으로도 두 실험 지역에서 각각 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) 1.66 m, 2.65 m로 우수한 정합 결과를 보였다.

영상 레이더(SAR)는 날씨나 밤낮에 관계없이 전천후로 고해상도의 지구 관측을 가능하게 하는 강력하고 잘 정립된 마이크로웨이브 원격 탐사 기술이다. 한국항공우주연구원에서는 올해 발사될 예정인 우리나라 최초의 영상 레이더 위성을 개발해오고 있다. 영상 레이더 위성은 크게 위성 본체와 SAR 탑재체로 이루어진다. SAR 탑재체는 고출력의 전력을 SAR 안테나를 통하여 방사하기 때문에 설계 단계에서의 고주파 호환성 있는 설계와 시험단계에서의 고주파 호환성 검증이 실제 궤도 상에서 성능 보장을 위해서 무엇보다 중요한 절차이다. 본 연구에서는 영상 레이더 위성의 고주파 호환성을 위한 설계 기준과 검증 절차에 대하여 기술한다. 부가적으로 본 논문은 영상 레이더 위성의 RF 성능의 강건성 검증을 위한 RF 전체 방사 시험(RF 자체 호환성 시험)과 시험 형상 그리고 시험 결과에 대하여 기술한다.
