Atmospheric correction is one of critical procedures to extract quantitative information related to biophysical variables from hyperspectral data. In this study, we attempted to generate the water vapor contents image from hyperspectral data itself and developed the atmospheric correction algorithm for EO-1 Hyperion data using pre-calculated atmospheric look-up-table (LUT) for fast processing. To apply the new atmospheric correction algorithm, Hyperion data acquired June 3, 2001 over Seoul area is used. Reflectance spectrums of various targets on atmospheric corrected Hyperion reflectance images showed the general spectral pattern although there must be further development to reduce the spectral noise.

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.

Hyperspectral image divides VNIR region to over 200 bands which can show continuous spectrum with 10 nm spectral resolution. This property is useful in geology where a spectral feature which is decided by chemical compositions and crystalline structures is recorded well. While this field has been studied variously in foreign countries, the studies are in the early stage in Korea. In this study, characteristic materials associated with AMD were classified by using EO-1 HYPERION data which is a spaceborne hyperspectral image and topographical map and DEM and geochemical map were analyzed in conjunction with the image in order to examine that classified minerals are secondary minerals by AMD.

In order to classify Land Use/Land Cover using multispectral images, we have to give consequence to defining proper classes and selecting training sample with higher class separability. The process of satellite hyperspectral image which has a lot of bands is difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, classification result of hyperspectral image with noise is often worse than that of a multispectral image. When selecting training fields according to the signatures in the study area, it is difficult to calculate covariance matrix in some clusters with pixels less than the number of bands. Therefore in this paper we presented an overview of feature extraction methods for classification of Hyperion data and examined effectiveness of feature extraction through the accuracy assesment of classified image. Also we evaluated the classification accuracy of optimal meaningful features by class separation distance, which is also a method for band reduction. As a result, the classification accuracies of feature-extracted image and original image are similar regardless of classifiers. But the number of bands used and computing time were reduced. The classifiers such as MLC, SAM and ECHO were used.

Satellite imagery may contain large regions covered with atmospheric aerosol. A high-resolution satellite imagery affected by non-homogenous aerosol cover should be processed for land cover study and perform the radiometric calibration that will allow its future application for Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) data. In this study, aerosol signal was separated from high resolution satellite data based on the reflectance separation method. Since aerosol removal has a good sensitivity over bright surface such as man-made targets, aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrieval algorithm could be used. AOT retrieval using Look-up table (LUT) approach for utilizing the transformed image to radiometrically compensate visible band imagery is processed and tested in the correction of satellite scenery. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), EO-1/HYPERION data have been used for aerosol correction and AOT retrieval with different spatial resolution. Results show that an application of the aerosol detection for HYPERION data yields successive aerosol separation from imagery and AOT maps are consistent with MODIS AOT map.

Plant water deficiency during drought season causes physiological stress and can be a critical indicator of forest fire vulnerability. In this study, we attempt to analyze the spectral characteristics of water stressed vegetation by using the laboratory measurement on leaf samples and the canopy reflectance spectra extracted from satellite hyperspectral image data. Leaf-level reflectance spectra were measured by varying moisture content using a portable spectro-radiometer. Canopy reflectance spectra of sample forest stands of two primary species (pine and oak) located in central part of the Korean peninsula were extracted from EO-l Hyperion imaging spectrometer data obtained during the drought season in 2001 and the normal precipitation year in 2002. The preliminary analysis on the reflectance spectra shows that the spectral characteristics of leaf samples are not compatible with the ones obtained from canopy level. Although moisture content of vegetation can be influential to the radiant flux reflected from leaf-level, it may not be very straightforward to obtain the spectral characteristics that are directly related to the level of canopy moisture content. Canopy spectra form forest stands can be varied by structural variables (such as LAt, percent coverage, and biomass) other than canopy moisture content.

다중분광 영상의 정확한 지형지물 분류를 수행하기 위하여 분류 클래스의 훈련지역 선정과 선정된 클래스의 분리도 분포가 중요하다. 최근에 이용되고 있는 위성탑재 초다중분광 영상은 많은 밴드를 포함하고 있기 때문에 데이터 처리가 어렵고, 노이즈로 인하여 다중분광 영상보다 분류 결과가 나쁜 경우도 나타난다. 특히 대상지역의 클래스에 따른 훈련지역의 선정시 밴드수에 비해 상대적으로 제한된 훈련화소 크기로 인하여 공분산 행렬의 계산에 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Hyperion 데이터를 이용한 분류를 수행하기 위하여 필요한 유효 밴드 추출 방식을 알아보고, 분류영상의 정확도 평가를 통하여 추출된 밴드와 분류 클래스의 적합성 관계를 확인하고자 한다 이 과정에서 클래스 분리도를 이용하여 정확도 평가 이전에 밴드와 클래스 선정의 타당성을 확인할 수 있다.

일반적으로 영상은 공간, 분광 및 시간 해상력을 바탕으로 고해상과 저해상 영상으로 구분된다. 최근 IKONOS 와 QuickBird 등 공간해상력이 1m 이하인 위성 영상들이 국내에 공급되어 바야흐로 고해상 위성영상을 이용한 다양한 활용분야들이 연구되고 있다. 이에 반하여 고분광해상력을 갖는 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 국제적으로는 항공기탑재 센서들을 이용한 다양하고 광범위한 조사분석 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 국내에서는 장비와 관심의 부재로 인하여 초기적인 연구 단계에 있는 실정이다 하이퍼스펙트럴 센서는 환경, 지질, 목표물 인식 분야에 있어 많은 관심을 받고 있으며 위성탑재 초다중분광센서가 운용되기 시작하면서 연구의 활성화가 더욱 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EO-1 위성의 Hyperion 센서 데이터를 이용하여 노이즈 제거를 위한 영상 전처리 과정을 실시하고 분광특성에 따른 무감독 분류를 통한 인덱싱 기법과 널리 알려진 분광 라이브러리를 활용한 대상물, 특히 인공지물 추출 기법을 실험하였다. 이를 위하여 MNF(Maximum/Minimum Noise Filtering) 변환 및 분광 매칭(Spectral Matching) 기법, 분광 라이브러리 처리 등을 수행하였다. 결과의 비교를 위하여 동일 지역의 Landsat ETM+ 데이터를 이용하여 상호비교를 통한 검증작업으로서 그 성과를 판단하였다.
