초분광 영상은 기존의 다중분광 영상보다 많은 파장대의 영상을 취득하기 때문에 다양한 분야의 연구에 이용되고 있다. 하지만 밴드별로 취득하는 파장대가 짧고 밴드수가 많아, 밴드간의 높은 상관관계 및 노이즈 밴드가 존재한다. 이로 인해 기존에 알려진 분석기법의 적용결과가 제대로 도출되지 않는다. 따라서 초분광 영상을 이용할 경우, 노이즈가 많이 포함된 밴드를 제거한 후 영상분석을 하는 것이 보다 효율적이다. 본 연구에서는 초분광 영상(Hyperspectral Image)의 전처리 과정 중 노이즈 밴드 제거에 초점을 맞추었으며, 이를 위해 프랙탈 차원을 이용하였다. 프랙탈 차원 측정방법 중 삼각기둥 표면적 기법을 이용하였다. 프랙탈 차원을 측정하고, Continuum Removal 기법을 이용하여 경향을 살펴보았다. 경험적으로 구한 임계값을 통해 상대적으로 정보량이 적은 밴드를 노이즈 밴드로 판단하여 제거하였다. 실험 영상으로는 EO-1 위성에서 취득되는 Hyperion 초분광 영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 프랙탈 분석을 통해 Hyperion 초분광 영상의 노이즈 밴드를 자동으로 추출하여 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An Image fusion, or Pansharpening is a methodology of increasing the spatial resolution of image with low-spatial resolution using high-spatial resolution images. In this paper, we have performed an image fusion of hyperspectral imagery by using panchromatic image with high-spatial resolution, multispectral and hyperspectral images with low-spatial resolution, which had been acquired by ALI and Hyperion of EO-1 satellite sensors. The study has been mainly focused on evaluating performance of fusion process following to the image fusion methodology of the block association, which had applied to ALI and Hyperion dataset by considering spectral characteristics between multispectral and hyperspectral images. The results from experiments have been identified that the proposed algorithm efficiently improved the spatial resolution and minimized spectral distortion comparing with results from a fusion of the only panchromatic and hyperspectral images and the existing block-based fusion method. Through the study in a proposed algorithm, we could concluded in that those applications of airborne hyperspectral sensors and various hyperspectral satellite sensors will be launched at future by enlarge its usages.

The Land Cover/Land Use Map have been constructed from 1998, which has hierarchical structure according to land cover/land use system. Level 1 classification Map have done using Landsat satellite image over whole Korean peninsula. Level II classification Map have been digitized using IRS-1C, 1D, KOMPSAT and SPOT5 satellite images resolution-merged with low resolution color images. Level II Land Cover/Land Use Map construction by digitizing method, however, is consuming enormous expense for satellite image acquisition, image process and Land Cover/Land Use Map construction. In this paper, the possibility of constructing Level II Land Cover/Land Use Map using hyperspectral satellite image of EO-1 Hyperion, which is studied a lot recently, is studied. The comparison of classifications using Hyperion satellite image offering more spectral information and Landsat-7 ETM+ image is performed to evaluate the availability of Hyperion satellite image. Also, the algorithm of the optimal band selection is presented for effective application of hyperspectral satellite image.

This study presents an approach to synthesize hyperspectral images of lower resolution at a higher resolution using the high resolution images acquired from a sensor of commercial satellites. The proposed method was applied to the reconstruction of EO-1 Hyperion images using the images acquired from IKONOS sensor. Based on the FitPAN-Mod pansharpening technique (Lee, 2008b), the hyperspectral images of 30m resolution were reconstructed at 1m resolution of IKONOS panchromatic image. In this study, the synthesized hyperspectral images of 50 bands, whose wavelengths range in the wavelength of panchromatic sensor, were generated from the three stages of high resolution reconstruction using FitPAN-Mod. The experimental results show that the proposed method effectively integrates the spatial detail of the panchromatic modality as well as the spectral detail of the hyperspectral one into the synthesized image. It indicates the proposed method has a potential as a technique to produce alternative images for the images that would have been observed from a hyperspectral sensor at the high resolution of commercial satellite images.

Hyperspectral imaging is used in a wide variety of research since the image is obtained with a wider wavelength range and more bands than multispectral imaging. However, there are limitations, namely that each band has a shorter wavelength range, the computation cost is increased in the case of numerous bands, and a high correlation between each band and noise bands exists. The previous analysis method does not produce ideal results due to these limitations. Therefore, in the case of using the hyperspectral image, image analysis after eliminating noise bands is more accurate and efficient. In this study, noise band elimination of the hyperspectral image preprocessing is highlighted, and we use fractal dimension for noise band elimination. The Triangular Prism Method is used, being the typical fractal dimension method of the curved surface. The fractal dimension of each band is calculated. We then apply the Continuum Removal method to normalize. A total of 35 bands are estimated by noise band with a threshold value that is obtained empirically. The hyperion hyperstpectral image collected on the EO-1 satellite is used in this study. The result delineates that noise bands of the hyperion image are able to be eliminated with the fractal dimension and Continuum Removal method.

Thresholding is important step for detecting binary change/non-change information in the unsupervised change detection. This study proposes new unsupervised change detection method using Hyperion hyperspectral images, which are expected with data increased demand. A graph is drawn with applying the range average method for the result value through pixel-based similarity measurement, and thresholding value is decided at the maximum distance point from a straight line. The proposed method is assessed in comparison with expectation-maximization algorithm, coner method, Otsu's method using synthetic images and Hyperion hyperspectral images. Throughout the results, we validated that the proposed method can be applied simply and had similar or better performance than the other methods.

최근 위성기술의 발전은 크게 두 가지 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 하나는 고해상도(High Resolution)라는 말로 대표되는 공간해상도(Spatial Resolution)의 향상이고, 다른 하나는 초분광(Hyperspectral)으로 대표되는 분광해상도(Spectral Resolution)의 향상이다. 특히 초분광영상(Hyperspectral Image)은 지상피복 및 대상물에 대해 실험실에서 얻을 수 있을 정도의 연속적이고 좁은 파장 간격의 분광정보를 제공하고 있어, 기존에 사용하던 다중분광영상(Multispectral Image) 보다 많은 양의 정보를 사용자에게 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 다중분광영상과 초분광영상의 분광 정보를 활용한 영상분류능력을 비교분석하고 그 결과를 평가하였다. 분석결과는 다중분광영상에서 식별이 어려웠던 초지, 농지, 나지에 대한 분석 능력이 초분광영상에서 상당히 향상됨으로써 감독분류에서 약 20% 정도의 정확도 향상을 가져왔으며, 무감독분류의 경우에는 미소한 차이로 그 정확도가 향상된다는 것이다. 이런 결과는 향후 초분광영상의 토지 피복분류 및 대상물 탐사에 긍정적인 활용 방안을 제시할 수 있음을 알려주고 있다.

This study focuses on the radiometric normalization, which is one of the pre-processing steps to apply the change detection technique fur hyperspectral images. The PIFs which had radiometric consistency under the time interval were automatically extracted by applying spectral angle, and used as sample pixels for linear regression of the radiometric normalization. We also dealt with the problem about the number of PIFs for linear regression with iteratively quantitative methods. The results were assessed in comparison with image regression, histogram matching, and FLAASH. In conclusion, we show that linear regression method with PIFs can carry out the efficient result for radiometric normalization.

The quality of satellite imagery should be improved and stabilized to satisfy numerous users. The radiometric characteristics of an optical sensor can be a measure of data quality. In this study, a band aggregation technique and spectral response function of hyperspectral images are used to simulate multispectral images. EO-1 Hyperion and Landsat-8 OLI images acquired with about 30 minutes difference in overpass time were exploited to evaluate radiometric coefficients of OLI. Radiance values of the OLI and the simulated OLI were compared over three subsets covered by different land types. As a result, the index of agreement shows over 0.99 for all VNIR bands although there are errors caused by space/time and sensors.
