This paper explores the use of IKONOS imagery of 1 m resolution panchromatic (PAN) band and 4 m resolution multi-spectral (MS) band in the development of agriculture­related data inventories. Three images (May 25, 2001, December 25, 2001, October 23, 2003) were used to obtain temporal distributions in crop cover characteristics such as rice, pear, grape, red pepper, corn, barley, garlic and surface water cover of reservoir with field investigations. The availability and cost problems are expected to solve by KOMPSAT-2 that is scheduled to launch in 2005. The capability of KOMPSAT-2 image for crop and rural water resources management will increase by accumulating temporal data inventories as a database.

This paper describes the method of using IKONOS imagery in the development of agriculture-related data inventories. Temporally different three images of panchromatic (1m resolution) and multi-spectral bands (4m resolution) were used to obtain the distribution and characteristics of rice, pear, grape, red pepper, garlic, and reservoir surface area with the field surveys. The result of this study suggests the utility of KOMPSAT-II, which increases the use of the crop and water resources data in rural areas by accumulating temporal data inventories.

A crop management system was developed using Visual Basic and ArcGIS VBA. The system is operated on ArcGlS 8.3 with Microsoft Access MOB. Landsat +ETM, KOMPSAT-l EOC, ASTER VNIR and IKONOS panchromatic (pan) and multi-spectral (MIS) images were included in the system to understand what kind of agriculture-related information can be extracted for each images. Agriculture related data inventories using crop cover information such as texture and average pixel value of the crop based on cultivation calendar were designed ,and implemented. Three IKONOS images (May 25,2001, December 25,2001, October 23,2003) were loaded in the system to show crop cover characteristics such as rice, pear, grape, red pepper, garlic, and surface water cover of reservoir with field surveys. GIS layers such as DEM (Digital Elevation Model), stream, road, soil, land use and administration boundary were also supplied and can be overlaid with images to enhance the understanding the general agricultural characteristics and identifying the location easily.

Recently the high-resolution satellite images are helpfully using the land cover, status data for the natural resources or environment management. The effective satellite analysis process for these satellite images that require high investment can be increase the effectiveness has become increasingly important. In this Study, the statistical value of the training data is calculated and analyzed during the preprocessing. Also, that is explained about the maximum likelihood classification of traditional classification method, artificial neural network (ANN) classification method and Support Vector Machines(SVM) classification method and then the IKONOS high-resolution satellite imagery was produced the land cover map using each classification method. Each result data had to analyze the accuracy through the error matrix. The results of this study prove that SVM classification method can be good alternative of the total accuracy of about 86% than other classification method.

Leaf area index (LAI) is important in explaining the ability of the crop to intercept solar energy for biomass production and in understanding the impact of crop management practices. This paper describes a procedure for estimating LAI as a function of image-derived vegetation indices from temporal series of IKONOS, Landsat TM, and MODIS satellite images using empirical models and demonstrates its use with data collected at Missouri field sites. LAI data were obtained several times during the 2002 growing season at monitoring sites established in two central Missouri experimental fields, one planted to soybean (Glycine max L.) and the other planted to corn (Zea mays L.). Satellite images at varying spatial and spectral resolutions were acquired and the data were extracted to calculate normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) after geometric and atmospheric correction. Linear, exponential, and expolinear models were developed to relate temporal NDVI to measured LAI data. Models using IKONOS NDVI estimated LAI of both soybean and corn better than those using Landsat TM or MODIS NDVI. Expolinear models provided more accurate results than linear or exponential models.

The subjects of this study are to examine and to apply the methods of making 1:5,000 scale maps using 1m resolution stereo images of IKONOS for the Munsan area of Paju-city where aerial photo surveying cannot possible because of security conditions. GCP(Ground Control Point) were acquired from GPS surveying and were to perform geometric corrections on images. Digital Map used IKONOS stereo images and it worked from the digital analytical stereoplotter. From field investigation, RMSE errors of the plane and vertical positions are estimated to 1.706m and 1.231m, respectively. The plane accuracy is better than an accuracy required by NGIS (national GIS) programs. Local information from field investigation was added and the resulting maps should be good as digital map under the scale of 1/5,000.

In this study, the epipolar images were created by both methods of resolution adjustment and piecewise approach using RPC(Rational Polynomial coefficients) and ancillary data of IKONOS-2 and SPOT-5 satellite images whose resolutions are different from each other. The stereo geometry of these two satellite images was analyzed and the RPC block modelling was accomplished for generating epipolar images. In order to evaluate the accuracy of created epipolar images, the y-parallaxes were analyzed for the specific points which were apparently identified in mountainous, plain and urban area. Also the RMSEs of the specific points were calculated using the coordinates from the epipolar stereo images and the coordinates from the block triangulation. Y-parallaxes were within one pixel and the RMSEs were within two meters for X, Y and Z each.

This study describes the methodology that improves the accuracy of the 3D object-space data extracted from IKONOS satellite images by improving the accuracy of a RPC(Rational Polynomial Coefficient) model. For this purpose, we developed the algorithm to adjust a RPC model, and could improve the accuracy of a RPC model with this algorithm and geographically well-distributed GCPs(Ground Control Points). Furthermore, when a RPC model was adjusted with this algorithm, the effects of geographic distribution and the number of GCPs on the accuracy of the adjusted RPC model was tested. The results showed that the accuracy of the adjusted RPC model is affected more by the distribution of GCPs than by the number of GCPs. On the basis of this result, the algorithm using pseudo_GCPs was developed to improve the accuracy of a RPC model in case the distribution of GCPs was poor and the number of GCPs was not enough to adjust the RPC model. So, even if poorly distributed GCPs were used, the geographically adjusted RPC model could be obtained by using pseudo_GCPs. The less the pseudo_GCPs were used -that is, GCPs were more weighted than pseudo_GCPs in the observation matrix-, the more accurate the adjusted RPC model could be obtained, Finally, to test the validity of these algorithms developed in this study, we extracted 3D object-space coordinates using RPC models adjusted with these algorithms and a stereo pair of IKONOS satellite images, and tested the accuracy of these. The results showed that 3D object-space coordinates extracted from the adjusted RPC models was more accurate than those extracted from original RPC models. This result proves the effectiveness of the algorithms developed in this study.
