When and Where, What kind of agricultural products will be produced and provided for the market? It is a commercial requirement, and also an academic questions to remote sensing technology. Crop physiology analysis and growth monitoring are important elements for precision agriculture management. Remote sensing technology supplies us more selections and available spaces in this dynamic change study by producing images of different spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. Especially, the hyperspectral remote sensing should do play a key role in crop growth investigation at national, regional and global scales. In the past five years, Chinese academy of sciences and Japan NTT-DATA have made great efforts to establish a prototype information service system to dynamically survey the vegetable planting situation in Nagano area of Japan mainly based on remote sensing data. For such concern, a flexible and light-duty flight system and some practical data processing system and some necessary background information should be rationally made together. In addition, some studies are also important, such as quick pre-processing for hyperspectral data, Multi-temporal vegetation index analysis, hyperspectral image classification in support of GIS data, etc. In this paper, several spectral data analysis models and a designed airborne platform are provided and discussed here.

분광각(Spectral Angle)을 이용한 분류는 같은 종류의 지표 대상물의 분광 특성이 대기 및 지형적인 영향으로 인해 원점을 기준으로 선형적인 분포 모양을 가진다는 가정에 기초한 새로운 접근의 분류 방식이다. 최근 분광각을 이용한 무감독 분류에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 원격탐사 데이터의 특성을 반영한 효과적인 무감독 분류에 대한 연구는 미진한 상태이다. 본 연구는 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상 분류에 있어서 기존 무감독 분광각 분류(USAC, Unsupervised Spectral Angle Classification) 연구에서 해결하지 못한 문제점들을 보완한 반복최적화 무감독 분광각 분류(ISOUSAC, Iterative Self-Organizing USAC) 기법을 제안하고 있다. 이를 위해, 무감독 분광각 분류에 적합한 각 분할(Angle Range Division) 기법을 적용하여 군집 초기 중심을 설정하였으며, 병합(Merge)과 분할(Split)를 통한 유동적인 군집 분석을 수행하였다. 결과를 통해, 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 기법보다 수행 시간뿐 아니라 시각적인 면에서도 우수한 결과를 도출함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The development of midinfrared (mid-IR) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) has enabled rapid high-contrast measurement of the mid-IR spectra of biological tissues. Several studies have compared the differences between the mid-IR spectra of colon cancer and noncancerous colon tissues. Most mid-IR spectrum classification studies have been proposed as machine-learning-based algorithms, but this results in deviations depending on the initial data and threshold values. We aim to develop a process for classifying colon cancer and noncancerous colon tissues through a deep-learning-based convolutional-neural-network (CNN) model. First, we image the midinfrared spectrum for the CNN model, an image-based deep-learning (DL) algorithm. Then, it is trained with the CNN algorithm and the classification ratio is evaluated using the test data. When the tissue microarray (TMA) and routine pathological slide are tested, the ML-based support-vector-machine (SVM) model produces biased results, whereas we confirm that the CNN model classifies colon cancer and noncancerous colon tissues. These results demonstrate that the CNN model using midinfrared-spectrum images is effective at classifying colon cancer tissue and noncancerous colon tissue, and not only submillimeter-sized TMA but also routine colon cancer tissue samples a few tens of millimeters in size.

In this study, images were classified using convolutional neural network (CNN) - a deep learning technique - to investigate the feasibility of information production through a combination of artificial intelligence and spatial data. CNN determines kernel attributes based on a classification criterion and extracts information from feature maps to classify each pixel. In this study, a CNN network was constructed to classify materials with similar spectral characteristics and attribute information; this is difficult to achieve by conventional image processing techniques. A Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager(CASI) and an Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Application (AISA) were used on the following three study sites to test this method: Site 1, Site 2, and Site 3. Site 1 and Site 2 were agricultural lands covered in various crops,such as potato, onion, and rice. Site 3 included different buildings,such as single and joint residential facilities. Results indicated that the classification of crop species at Site 1 and Site 2 using this method yielded accuracies of 96% and 99%, respectively. At Site 3, the designation of buildings according to their purpose yielded an accuracy of 96%. Using a combination of existing land cover maps and spatial data, we propose a thematic environmental map that provides seasonal crop types and facilitates the creation of a land cover map.

This research is aimed at evaluating the land surface characterization of KOMPSAT-3A middle infrared (MIR) data. Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS) data, which has MIR bands with high spatial resolution, were used to assess land surface temperature (LST) retrieval and classification accuracy of MIR bands. Firstly, LST values for daytime and nighttime, which were calculated with AHS thermal infrared (TIR) bands, were compared to digital number of AHS MIR bands. The determination coefficient of AHS band 68 (center wavelength $4.64{\mu}m$) was over 0.74, and was higher than other MIR bands. Secondly, The land cover maps were generated by unsupervised classification methods using the AHS MIR bands. Each class of land cover maps for daytime, such as water, trees, green grass, roads, roofs, was distinguished well. But some classes of land cover maps for nighttime, such as trees versus green grass, roads versus roofs, were not separated. The image classification using the difference images between daytime AHS MIR bands and nighttime AHS MIR bands were conducted to enhance the discrimination ability of land surface for AHS MIR imagery. The classification accuracy of the land cover map for zone 1 and zone 2 was 67.5%, 64.3%, respectively. It was improved by 10% compared to land cover map of daytime AHS MIR bands and night AHS MIR bands. Consequently, new algorithm based on land surface characteristics is required for temperature retrieval of high resolution MIR imagery, and the difference images between daytime and nighttime was considered to enhance the ability of land surface characterization using high resolution MIR data.

Satellite images have been used to obtain land cover information that is one of important factors for hydrological analysis over a large area. In urban area, more detailed land cover data are often required for hydrological analysis because of the relatively complex land cover types. The number of land cover classes that can be classified with traditional multispectral data is usually less than the ones required by most hydrological uses. In this study, we present the capabilities of hyperspectral data (Hyperion) for the classification of hydrological land cover types in urban area. To obtain 17 classes of urban land cover defined by the USDA SCS, spectral mixture analysis was applied using eight endmembers representing both impervious and pervious surfaces. Fractional values from the spectral mixture analysis were then reclassified into 17 cover types according to the ratio of impervious and pervious materials. The classification accuracy was then assessed by aerial photo interpretation over 10 sample plots.

A multi-stage hierarchical clustering technique, which is an unsupervised technique, has been proposed in this paper for classifying the hyperspectral data .. The multistage algorithm consists of two stages. The 'local' segmentor of the first stage performs region-growing segmentation by employing the hierarchical clustering procedure with the restriction that pixels in a cluster must be spatially contiguous. The 'global' segmentor of the second stage, which has not spatial constraints for merging, clusters the segments resulting from the previous stage, using a context-free similarity measure. This study applied the multistage hierarchical clustering method to the data generated by band reduction, band selection and data compression. The classification results were compared with them using full bands.

In this paper, for efficient data classification in multispectral bands environment, a band feature extraction method using the Rough sets theroy is proposed. First, we make a look up table from training data, and analyze the properties of experimental multispectral image data, then select the efficient band usin indiscernibility relation of Rough sets theory from analysis results. Proposed method is applied to LAMDSAT TM data on 2, June, 1992. Among them, normal distributive data were experimented, mainly. From this, we show clustering trends that similar to traditional band selection results by wavelength properties, from this, we verify that can use the proposed method that centered on data properties to select the efficient bands, though data sensing environment change to hyperspectral band environments.

A hybrid approach integrating both high-resolution and hyperspectral data sets was used to map vegetation cover of a coastal lowland area in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Three common grass species (broomsedge, natal redtop, and pili) and other non-grass species, primarily shrubs, were focused in the study. A 3-step, hybrid approach, combining an unsupervised and a supervised classification schemes, was applied to the vegetation mapping. First, the IKONOS 1-m high-resolution data were classified to create a binary image (vegetated vs. non--vegetated) and converted to 20-meter resolution percent cover vegetation data to match AVIRIS data pixels. Second, the minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation was used to extract a coherent dimensionality from the original AVIRIS data. Since the grasses and shubs were sparsely distributed and most image pixels were intermingled with lava surfaces, the reflectance component of lava was filtered out with a binary fractional cover analysis assuming that tile total reflectance of a pixel was a linear combination of the reflectance spectra of vegetation and the lava surface. Finally, a supervised approach was used to classify the plant species based on tile maximum likelihood algorithm.

RGB나 다중분광영상은 높은 공간 해상도로 인해 크기가 작은 물질의 클래스를 부여하는데 있어서는 효과적이지만 분광해상도가 낮아 다양한 종류의 지표물 분류 및 분광적으로 미세한 차이를 보이는 대상 체간의 분류에는 한계를 가지고 있다. 그러나 초분광 영상(Hyperspectral Image)은 대상 객체의 분광 반사곡선을 수백개의 연속적인 분광 파장대 영역으로 상세하게 해당 물체의 정보를 취득할 수 있는 기능을 가지고 있다. 최근 국내에서도 초분광 영상을 이용한 토지피복도 작성 및 환경 모니터링 등 다양한 분야에 적용하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 최근에는 드론과 같은 소형 UAV를 활용하여 경제적인 비용으로 시공간해상도가 높은 영상을 획득하는 것이 가능하게 되었으며 분광정보를 수집하는 영상 장비의 발전으로 드론에 탑재가 가능한 경량의 소형 초분광센서가 개발됨으로써 보다 높은 분광해상도의 영상을 취득할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 하천환경조사를 위해 UAV를 활용하여 고해상도 초분광 영상을 취득하였으며, 차원축소법과 분류기 적용에 따른 공간 분류 정확도 분석을 통해 하천환경에 대한 분류 및 평가를 실시하였다. 연구지역에서 획득한 초분광 영상은 노이즈로 인한 영향을 줄이고자 MNF와 PCA 기법으로 차원축소를 수행하였으며, MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification)와 SVM(Support Vector Machine), SAM(Spectral Angle Mapping) 감독분류기법을 적용하여 하천환경특성에 따른 공간분류를 수행하였다. 연구 결과 MNF기법으로 차원 축소한 영상을 적용하여 MLC 감독분류를 수행하였을 때 가장 높은 분류정확도를 얻을 수 있었으나, 일부 클래스 및 수역의 경계와 그림자 공간에서 주로 오분류가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
