  • This paper proposes an IR camera system that performs the task of removing mines for humanitarian purposes. Because of the high risks involved, it is necessary to conduct mine detection from the most remote endeavoring. By mating use of infrared ray (IR) cameras, scattered mines can be detected from remote locations. In the case of mines buried in the ground, detection is possible if the peripheral temperature difference is large enough between the ground and mine weapon. As one of the world´s advanced nations in sensor technology, Japan should promote surveys and studies for detecting mines safely by using its advanced remote sensing technologies.

  • Vanadium oxides have been widely used in a variety of technological applications such electrochromic devices as infrared detectors and are expected as a material suitable for gas sensing applications. Thin films of Vanadium oxide (VOx) have been deposited by r.f magnetron sputtering under different oxygen partial pressure ratios and substrate temperatures. Humidity-sensitive properties of resistive sensors having interdigitated electrode structure are characterized. Our sensors show good response to humidity over 20%RH to 80%RH. Vanadium oxide films deposited with 0% $O_2$ partial pressure at foot exhibit greater sensitivity to humidity change than others.

  • The intensity and the number of days of high temperature occurrence are also high and record heat occurred. In addition, the global warming phenomenon is intensifying globally, and especially in South Korea, the urban heat island phenomenon is also occurring due to rapid urbanization due to rapid industrial development. As the temperature of the city rises, it causes problems such as the comfort of the residential living and the cooling load. In this study, the cool roof performance is evaluated according to the roof color to reduce these problems. Unlike previous studies, UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) thermal infrared camera was used to obtain the surface temperature (white, grey, green, blue, brown, black) according to the rooftop color by remote sensing technique. As a result, the surface temperature of white color was $11{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ lower than other colors. Also air conditioning temperature of white color was $1.5{\sim}4.4^{\circ}C$ lower than other colors and the digital thermometer of white color was about $1.5{\sim}3.5^{\circ}C$ lower than other colors. It was confirmed that the white cool roof performance is the best, and the UAV and the thermal infrared camera can confirm the cool roof performa.

  • As the risk of landslide is recently increasing due to the typhoons and localized heavy rains, effective techniques for the landslide damage detection are required to support the establishment of the recovery planning. This study describes the analysis of landslide-damaged areas using ISODATA(Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique Algorithm) with Sentinel-2 image, regarding the case of Gokseong in August 7, 2020. A total of 4.75 ha of landslide-damaged areas was detected from the Sentinel-2 image using spectral characteristics of red, NIR(Near Infrared), and SWIR(Shortwave Infrared) bands. We made sure that the satellite remote sensing is an effective method to detect the landslide-damaged areas and support the establishment of the recovery planning, followed by the field surveys that require a lot of manpower and time. Also, this study can be used as a reference for the landslide management for the CAS500-1/2(Compact Advanced Satellite) scheduled to launch in 2021 and the Korean Medium Satellite for Agriculture and Forestry scheduled to launch in 2024.

  • As part of the next-generation Compact Advanced Satellite 500 (CAS500) project, CAS500-4 is scheduled to be launched in 2025 focusing on the remote sensing of agriculture and forestry. To obtain quantitative information on vegetation from satellite images, it is necessary to acquire surface reflectance through atmospheric correction. Thus, it is essential to develop an atmospheric correction method suitable for CAS500-4. Since the absorption and scattering characteristics in the atmosphere vary depending on the wavelength, it is needed to analyze the sensitivity of atmospheric correction parameters such as aerosol optical depth (AOD) and water vapor (WV) considering the wavelengths of CAS500-4. In addition, as CAS500-4 has only five channels (blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared), making it difficult to directly calculate key parameters for atmospheric correction, external parameter data should be used. Therefore, thisstudy performed a sensitivity analysis of the key parameters (AOD, WV, and O3) using the simulated images based on Sentinel-2 satellite data, which has similar wavelength specifications to CAS500-4, and examined the possibility of using the products of GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) as atmospheric parameters. The sensitivity analysisshowed that AOD wasthe most important parameter with greater sensitivity in visible channels than in the near-infrared region. In particular, since AOD change of 20% causes about a 100% error rate in the blue channel surface reflectance in forests, a highly reliable AOD is needed to obtain accurate surface reflectance. The atmospherically corrected surface reflectance based on the GK2A AOD and WV was compared with the Sentinel-2 L2A reflectance data through the separability index of the known land cover pixels. The result showed that two corrected surface reflectance had similar Seperability index (SI) values, the atmospheric corrected surface reflectance based on the GK2A AOD showed higher SI than the Sentinel-2 L2A reflectance data in short-wavelength channels. Thus, it is judged that the parameters provided by GK2A can be fully utilized for atmospheric correction of the CAS500-4. The research findings will provide a basis for atmospheric correction of the CAS500-4 in the future.

  • Difficulties of emissivity determination and atmospheric correction degrade the estimation accuracy of land surface temperature (LST). That is, since the emissivity determination of land surface material and the correction of atmospheric effect are not perfect, it is very difficult to estimate the precise LST from a thermal infrared image such as Landsat TM and ETM+, ASTER, etc. In this study, we propose an efficient method to estimate land surface temperature difference (LSTD) rather than LST from Landsat thermal band images. This method is based on the assumptions that 1) atmospheric effects are same over a image and 2) the emissivity of vegetation region is 0.99. To validate the performance of the proposed method, error sensitive analysis according to error variations of reference land surface temperature and the water vapor is performed. The results show that the estimated LSTD have respectively the errors of ${\pm}0.06K$, ${\pm}0.15K$ and ${\pm}0.30K$ when the water vapor error of ${\pm}0.302g/cm^2$ and the radiance differences of 0.2, 0.5 and $1.0Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}{\mu}m$ are considered. And also the errors of the LSTD estimation are respectively ${\pm}0.037K$, ${\pm}0.089K$, ${\pm}0.168K$ in the reference land surface temperature error of ${\pm}2.41K$. Therefore, the proposed method enables to estimate the LSTD with the accuracy of less than 0.5K.

  • The Sonoran Desert, which is located in North America, has been frequently used for vicarious calibration of many optical sensors in satellites. Although the desert area has good conditions for vicarious calibration (e.g. high reflectance, little vegetation, large area, low precipitation), its adjacency to the sea and large variability in atmospheric water vapor are the disadvantages for vicarious calibration. For vicarious calibration using top-of-atmospheric (TOA) reflectance, the atmospheric variability brings about degraded precision in vicarious calibration results. In this paper, the location with the smallest radiometric variability in TOA reflectance is sought by using 12-year Landsat 5 data, and corrected the TOA reflectance for bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) which is another major source of variability in TOA reflectance. Experiments show that the mid-western part of the Sonoran Desert has the smallest variability collectively for visible and near-infrared bands, and the variability from the sunarget-sensor geometry can be reduced by the BRDF correction for the visible bands, but not sufficiently for the infrared bands.

  • The KOMPSAT-3A is a high-resolution optical satellite launched in 2015 by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). KOMPSAT-3A provides Panchromatic (PAN-0.55 m), Multispectral (MS-2.2 m), and Mid-wavelength infrared (MIROR-5.5 m) image. However, due to security or military problems, MIROR image with 5.5m spatial resolution are provided down sampled at 33 m spatial resolution (MIRrd). In this study, we propose spatial sharpening method to improve the spatial resolution of MIRrd image (33 m) using virtual High Frequency (HF) image and optimal fusion factor. Using MS image and MIRrd image, we generated virtual high resolution (5.5 m) MIRORfus image and then compared them to actual high-resolution MIROR image. The test results show that the proposed method merges the spatial resolution of MS image and the spectral information of MIRrd image efficiently.

  • This paper presents an extraction method for water body which uses block-based image partitioning and extension of water body boundaries to improve the performance of supervised classification for water body extraction. The Mahalanobis distance image is created by computing the spectral information of Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Near Infrared (NIR) band images over a training site within the water body in order to extract an initial water body area. To reduce the effect of noise contained in the Mahalanobis distance image, we apply mean curvature diffusion to the image, which controls diffusion coefficients based on connectivity strength between adjacent pixels and then extract the initial water body area. After partitioning the extracted water body image into the non-overlapping blocks of same size, we update the water body area using the information of water body belonging to water body boundaries. The update is performed repeatedly under the condition that the statistical distance between water body area belonging to water body boundaries and the training site is not greater than a threshold value. The accuracy assessment of the proposed algorithm was tested using KOMPSAT-2 images for the various block sizes between $11{\times}11$ and $19{\times}19$. The overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of the algorithm varied from 99.47% to 99.53% and from 95.07% to 95.80%, respectively.
