More than 0.5 percent of land in Korea is used for cemetery and the rate is growing in spite of the increase in cremation these days. The systematic management of tombs may be possible through the ‘Feature Extraction’ method which is applied to the high-resolution satellite imagery. For this reason, this research focused on finding out the radiometric characteristics of tombs and the classification of them. An IKONOS image of northwest areas of Seoul with 8km x 10km dimension was analyzed. After sampling 24 tombs in the study area, the statistical radiometric characteristics of tombs are analyzed. And tombs were classified based on the criteria such as landscape, NDVI, and cluster analysis. In addition, it was investigated if the aspect or slope of the terrain influenced to the classification of tombs. As a result of this research, authors find that there is similarity between the classification tv NDVI and the classification through cluster analysis. And aspect or slope didn't have much influence on the classification of tombs.

Since existing thematic maps have been made with medium- to low-resolution satellite images, they have several shortcomings including low positional accuracy and low precision of presented thematic information. Digital aerial photo image taken recently can express panchromatic and color bands as well as NIR (Near Infrared) bands which can be used in interpreting forest areas. High resolution images are also available, so it would be possible to conduct precision land cover classification. In this context, this paper implemented object-based land cover classification by using digital aerial photos with 0.12m GSD (Ground Sample Distance) resolution and IKONOS satellite images with 1m GSD resolution, both of which were taken on the same area, and also executed qualitative analysis with ortho images and existing land cover maps to check the possibility of object-based land cover classification using digital aerial photos and to present usability of digital aerial photos. Also, the accuracy of such classification was analyzed by generating TTA(Training and Test Area) masks and also analyzed their accuracy through comparison of classified areas using screen digitizing. The result showed that it was possible to make a land cover map with digital aerial photos, which allows more detailed classification compared to satellite images.

The rational polynomial coefficients(RPC) model is a generalized sensor model that is used as an alternative for the physical sensor model for IKONOS-2 and QuickBird. As the number of sensors increases along with greater complexity, and as the need for standard sensor model has become important, the applicability of the RPC model is also increasing. The RPC model can be substituted for all sensor models, such as the projective camera the linear pushbroom sensor and the SAR This paper is aimed at generating a RPC model from the physical sensor model of the KOMPSAT-1(Korean Multi-Purpose Satellite) and aerial photography. The KOMPSAT-1 collects $510{\sim}730nm$ panchromatic images with a ground sample distance (GSD) of 6.6m and a swath width of 17 km by pushbroom scanning. We generated the RPC from a physical sensor model of KOMPSAT-1 and aerial photography. The iterative least square solution based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to estimate the RPC. In addition, data normalization and regularization are applied to improve the accuracy and minimize noise. And the accuracy of the test was evaluated based on the 2-D image coordinates. From this test, we were able to find that the RPC model is suitable for both KOMPSAT-1 and aerial photography.

Recently, environmental and ecological approaches is in progress in urban stream, especially the guarantee of instream flow becomes very important. In this paper, it is suggested that water volume estimation method utilizing the topographical shape data obtained by field investigation and satellite image to manage the urban stream efficiently. The data obtained at Gap River is the study area are analysed and those results are as belows. First, surveying to investigate topographic shape characteristics of urban stream is carried out. In details, the gradient characteristics from water surface to bottom in case of sand area and in case of grass area are 0.013 and 0.065 respectively. In conclusion, the gradient characteristic of grass area is five times bigger than that of sand area. Besides, IKONOS image is classified by spectrum analysis and Minimum Distance Method and the sand area extraction method by the generalization method as Median filter is suggested to calculate water volume. Finally, mapping process on the sand area extracted from the topographical shape field data in river and satellite images is carried out by the GIS spatial analysis. And on the assumption that the water level was 1m at that time when satellite image was taken, the water volume was $225,258m^3$. It is clarified that the effect of water volume improvement was about 10.5% in comparison with water volume that had no consideration on the gradient characteristics of sand-bar.

Sensor modeling of high-resolution satellites is a prerequisite procedure for mapping and GIS applications. Sensor models, describing the geometric relationship between scene and object, are divided into two main categories, which are rigorous and approximate sensor models. A rigorous model is based on the actual geometry of the image formation process, involving internal and external characteristics of the implemented sensor. However, approximate models require neither a comprehensive understanding of imaging geometry nor the internal and external characteristics of the imaging sensor, which has gathered a great interest within photogrammetric communities. This paper described a comparison between rigorous and various approximate sensor models that have been used to determine three-dimensional positions, and proposed the appropriate sensor model in terms of the satellite imagery usage. Through the case study of using IKONOS satellite scenes, rigorous and approximate sensor models have been compared and evaluated for the positional accuracy in terms of acquirable number of ground controls. Bias compensated RFM(Rational Function Model) turned out to be the best among compared approximate sensor models, both modified parallel projection and parallel-perspective model were able to be modelled with a small number of controls. Also affine transformation, one of the approximate sensor models, can be used to determine the planimetric position of high-resolution satellites and perform image registration between scenes.

3차원 지형공간정보체계에 대한 관심의 증가와 함께 도심지의 3차원 모델링에 관한 다양한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 단색영상을 용하여 영역기반정합이나 형상기반정합을 실시하던 기존의 3차원 모델링 기법은 오정합이 많이 발생할 수 있으며, 모델링에 소요되는 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 새로운 3D 모델링에 대한 접근법의 하나의 단계로서 컬러영상으로부터 경계정보와 색상정보를 활용하여 동일건물을 인식하는 방법에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 경계정보에 대해서는 보완된 Hausdorff 거리 개념을 사용하였으며, 색상정보에 대해서는 수정된 컬러 인덱싱 기법을 사용하였다 IKONOS영상을 사용하여 실험을 실시한 결과 두 가지 정보를 각각 단독으로 사용하는 경우 보다는 두 가지 정보를 조합하여 사용하는 경우 인식이 보다 효과적으로 이루어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 고해상도 위성영상을 이용하여 열대해역에서의 생태환경 분포도를 작성함으로써 생태 환경의 변화를 효과적으로 모니터링 할 수 있도록 하는 데에 목적이 있다. 지구온난화 현상에 따라 산호 면적이 감소하고 있다. 이처럼 산호는 환경 변화가 민감하게 반응을 하기 때문에 열대해역에서 산호를 모니터링 하는 것은 주변 생태환경 변화 전체에 대한 관리 역할을 하기 때문에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 열대해역의 환경을 효과적으로 모니터링 하기위하여 고해상도 위성영상인 IKONOS와 Kompsat-2 영상을 이용하여 생태환경 분포도를 작성하여보았다. 연구지역은 한남태평양연구센터가 위치한 마이크로네시아 연방국의 Weno 섬 북동쪽 연안이고, 이 지역에서 2007년과 2008년 2번의 현장관측을 실시하여 총 121개 정점에서 광관측 및 환경 자료를 얻었다. 기존의 감독분류와 무감독분류 방법, 그리고 객체지향 영상분류 방법 등을 이용하여 분포도를 작성하였고, 현장관측 자료를 이용하여 검증하였다. 고해상도 영상이기 때문에 기존 방법에서 나타나는 오분류 현상이 객차지향 영상분류 방법을 사용할 경우 적어지는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Currently application of high-resolution satellite imagery is expanding with development of high tech optical and space aviation technology. Although using 3 dimensional modeling technology in order to attain accurate terrain information using existing ground control points is the most dependable reference data, such means are unapplicable for certain area because of it's limited access. In this study, we have researched into ways to utilizing high resolution satellite images from IKONOS and Quickbird, and sub-meter class satellites images that will be utilized In the future such as Arirang images and PLEIADES images for unaccessible areas. For that purpose we have created accuracy verification and GCP files for existing ortho-imagery and digital elevation model. The results showed that accuracy of ortho-Imagery and digital elevation model was RMSE X:3.043m, Y:2.921m, Z:6.139m. Also, after ortho-rectifying IKONOS images using ground control points extracted from ortho imagery and digital elevation model the accuracy of the imagery was RMSE X:3.243m, Y:2.067m, Z:1.872m.
