Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) from satellites provides the opportunity to regularly incorporate microwave information into forest classification. Radar backscatter can improve classification accuracy, and SAR interferometry could provide improved thematic information through the use of coherence. This research examined the potential of using multi-temporal JERS-l SAR (L band) backscatter information and interferometry in distinguishing forest classes of mountainous areas in the Northeastern U.S. for future forest mapping and monitoring. Raw image data from a pair of images were processed to produce coherence and backscatter data. To improve the geometric characteristics of both the coherence and the backscatter images, this study used the interferometric techniques. It was necessary to radiometrically correct radar backscatter to account for the effect of topography. This study developed a simplified method of radiometric correction for SAR imagery over the hilly terrain, and compared the forest-type discriminatory powers of the radar backscatter, the multi-temporal backscatter, the coherence, and the backscatter combined with the coherence. Statistical analysis showed that the method of radiometric correction has a substantial potential in separating forest types, and the coherence produced from an interferometric pair of images also showed a potential for distinguishing forest classes even though heavily forested conditions and long time separation of the images had limitations in the ability to get a high quality coherence. The method of combining the backscatter images from two different dates and the coherence in a multivariate approach in identifying forest types showed some potential. However, multi-temporal analysis of the backscatter was inconclusive because leaves were not the primary scatterers of a forest canopy at the L-band wavelengths. Further research in forest classification is suggested using diverse band width SAR imagery and fusing with other imagery source.

이 논문은 X-밴드 Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) 시스템을 이용하여 5개의 삼각삼면반사체(triangular trihedral corner reflector)의 시간에 따른 위상변화를 분석하였다. 각각의 반사체는 시스템으로부터의 거리를 다르게 설정하여 고정시켰고 모든 편파에 대한 영상을 20 분 간격으로 123 회, 총 40 시간 동안 연속 측정하였다. SAR 간섭기법(interferometry)을 이용한 분석 결과 반사체는 고정된 상태임에도 불구하고 시간에 따라 최대 2 radian의 위상차가 나타났으며 기상요소와 유사한 추세를 보였다. 대기 중 굴절률을 고려한 GB-SAR 위상관계식을 통하여 대기 중 습도, 기온 및 기압의 변화에 따른 마이크로파 굴절률의 변화 양상을 회귀분석을 통하여 살펴보았다. 그 결과 X-밴드의 굴절률은 습도 및 기온과 비교적 높은 선형적 관계를 보였으나(평균 결정계수 각각 0.72, 0.76) 기압과는 그렇지 않았다(결정계수 0.34). 실험 기간 동안 습도는 약 50 %에서 90 %까지, 기온은 $-1^{\circ}C$에서 $9^{\circ}C$까지 변하였으며 X-밴드 굴절률의 변화는 약 $3.14{\times}10^{-5}$였다. 향후 보다 다양한 기상조건에서 실험이 이루어진다면 습도, 기온 및 기압 조건에 따른 굴절률의 포괄적 관계식을 유추할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상은 반사 신호의 상대적 거리를 나타내는 위상 정보를 제공한다. 영상레이더 간섭기법(InSAR)은 동일한 지표면에 대해 다른 위치에서 획득된 두 SAR 자료간 위상차를 이용하여 지표면의 3차원 공간정보를 획득하는 기술이다. 차분간섭기법(DInSAR)의 간섭도에는 지형과 변위에 의한 위상이 복합적으로 포함되어 있으므로, 지형정보에 대한 정보를 나타내는 수치표고모델(DEM)을 이용하여 지형의 위상을 제거함으로써 지형과 변위에 대한 위상 효과를 분리하게 된다. 두 SAR 자료의 관측 기간 중 변위가 없는 경우에는 잔여 위상은 DEM의 오차를 반영한다. 본 연구에서는 영상 레이더 간섭기법을 이용하여 ERS-l/2 tandem 간섭쌍으로 DEM을 제작하였고, 차분간섭기법(DInSAR)으로 원래의 DEM 값을 갱신하여 정확도를 향상 시켰다. 제작된 DEM은 GPS 측량을 통해 획득된 검사점(check point)를 이용하여 정확도를 평가하였다.

지금까지 대부분의 인공위성 또는 항공기 SAR 시스템은 하나의 위상 배열 안테나를 이용하며, 단 영상을 생성하고 판독하는데 주로 사용되었지만, 차세대 SAR 시스템은 다중 편파 관측이 가능하거나 이중 채널 또는 위상 배열 안테나의 분리 모드(split-antenna mode)를 통해 간섭기법의 적용이 가능한 시스템으로 발전이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 이 논문은 차세대 SAR 인공위성의 새로운 분석 기법 연구와 활용 증진을 위해, 유사한 기능을 보일 수 있는 이중 채널 항공기 SAR 시스템을 구축하고, 이로부터 단일 패스 간섭기법(single-pass interferometry)을 연구한 논문이다. 공간적으로 서로 다른 위치에 있는 두 개의 SAR 채널에서 동시에 수신된 레이다 신호를 간섭적으로 처리하여, 지형의 고도 정보를 추출하거나 이동하는 물체의 속도를 탐지할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구현하였고, 새로운 활용 분야를 모색하고자 하였다.

This study presents the use of multi-temporal JERS-1 SAR images to the land cover classification. So far, land cover classified by high resolution aerial photo and field survey and so on. The study site was located in Non-san area. This study developed on multi-temporal land cover status monitoring and coherence information mapping can be processing by L band SAR image. From July, 1997 to October, 1998 JERS SAR images (9 scenes) coherence values are analyzed and then classified land cover. This technique which forms the basis of what is called SAR Interferometry or InSAR for short has also been employed in spaceborne systems. In such systems the separation of the antennas, called the baseline is obtained by utilizing a single antenna in a repeat pass

The permanent scatterer SAR interferometry (PSInSAR) technique has been developed more recently and has been applied to monitor slow but consistent ground subsidence. Since PSInSAR has the advantages in terms of baseline and temporal decorrelation, PSInSAR technique using X-band may also provide useful information about a ground deformation in detail. We developed our codes for a persistent scatterer analysis, and then apply to ERS-1/2 C-band data over Las Vegas in order to validate our new developed algorithm. Based on this test, PS technique using X-band observation such as TerraSAR-X or KOMSAT 5 will be developed.

This study focuses on examing the feasibility of differential SAR interferometry (DInSAR) in the Northeastern Kyungsang Basin, Korea. Major faults in the Kyungsang Basin such as Yangsan fault, Dongrae fault, and Ulsan fault had developed during Cretaceous, and the activeness of these faults is still controversial in Korean geology community. We attempt to measure displacements in the study area by applying DInSAR techniques to JERS-1 SAR data sets. Some surface displacements are recognized by DInSAR method at Young-il Bay in which the POSCO Company locates, although the displacements may not be directly associated with geologic structures. We also discuss atmospheric effects for the techniques used.

Precise digital elevation model (DEM) is an important issue in coastal area where DEMs in a time series are especially required. Although LIDAR system is useful in coastal regions, it is not yet popular in Korea mainly because of its high surveying cost and national security reasons. Recently, precise coastal DEM have been made using radar interferometry, waterline method. One of these methods, Spaceborne imaging radar interferometry has been widely used to measure the topography and deformation of the Earth. We acquired ALOS PALSAR FBD mode (Fine Beam Dual) data for evaluating the quality of interferograms and their coherency. The purpose of this study is construction of DEM using the ALOS PALSAR data using radar interferometry and analysis of surface characteristics by coherence and magnitude map over the Ganghwado and Siwha tidal flats and near coastal lands.

Satellite radar interferometry data shows a strong coherent signal on oyster sea farms where artificial structures installed on the bottom. We obtained 21 highly coherent interferograms from eleven JERS-1 SAR data sets despite of large orbital baseline (~2 km) or large temporal baseline (~l year). The phases observed in sea farms are probably induced by double bouncing on sea surface, and consequently reveal a tide height variation. To restore the absolute sea level changes we counted the number of wrapping by exploiting the intensity of backscattering. Backscattering intensity is closely correlated with the change in water surface height, while interferometry gives the detailed variation within the limit of 2$\pi$ (or 15.3 cm). Comparing the radar measurements with the tide gauge records yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and an ms error of 6.0 cm. The results demostrate that radar interferometry is promising to measure sea level.
