The Vegetation cover is a significant factor to comprehend characteristics of the ground surface for meterological and hydrological models, which measure energy in the atmosphere or predict the runoff of ground surface. Deardorff introduced vegetation cover fraction to quantitatively comprehend the vegetation cover in 1978. After Deardorff, most of previous researches were conducted on low-resolution or high-resolution images, but only few researches on Landsat that are in medium-resolution images. Therefore, this study aims to investigate a way of calculating the vegetation cover fraction by using NDVI of Landsat images, which were hardly handled previously. For accurate vegetation cover fraction, we compared the evaluated parameters from this study with past vegetation cover fraction parameters that have been calculated for using NDVI of Landsat OLI images. The result of research was shown that NDVI is quite correlated with the vegetation fraction cover in the previous researches. In fact, RMSE of vegetation cover fraction values that obtained through the suggested parameters on this study showed the highest accuracy of 7.3% among all the cases.

Recently, developed countries have continuously been trying to recognize many issues about heat island in urban area and to make up countermeasures for them. This research is designed to extract change of land cover in the area under condition of land development with satellite images and to analyze its effect on the heat change in there. Heat change upon change of land cover in daejeon was analyzed with the four Landsat satellite images taken in April 1985, August 1994, May 2001, and May 2009. In order to measure the temperature on the surface in the city, the land surface temperature was produced with Landsat TM Band 6. Heat change is to detected with it. As a result, The urban area has been increased up to 23.59 percent. On the other hand, the forest area has been decreased up to 27.91%. Due to the urbanization, the temperature on the surface in urban center was higher than surrounding area. In that case, the temperature of urban center area was higher 2.4 to $5.7^{\circ}C$ compared with the forest area.

This study is to present a method of flood damaged area detection by the typhoon RUSA (August 31 - September 1, 2002) using Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 5 TM images. Two images of Sept. 29, 2000 and Sept. 11, 2002 (path 115, row 34) were prepared for Gangreung, To identify the damaged areas, firstly, the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) of each image was computed, secondly, the NDVI values were reclassified as two categories that the negative index values including zero are the one and the positive index values are the other, thirdly the reclassified image before typhoon is subtracted from the reclassified image after typhoon to get DNDVI (Differential NDVI). Some part of urban and agricultural were classified into damaged area due to typhoon RUSA in Gangreung, $18.8km^2$ and $17.7km^2$ respectively.

Because satellite images have the advantage of high resolution, multi-spectral, revisit and wide swath characteristics, it is increased to utilize satellite image and get information little by little in nowadays. In order to utilize remote sensed images effectively, it is necessary to process satellite images through many processing steps. Among them, geometric correction is essential step for satellite image processing. In this study, we constructed geometric correction data using LANDSAT satellite images. First, we extracted GCPs from maps and constructed database over the Korean peninsular. Second, LANDSAT satellite images, 165 scenes were corrected geometrically using GCP database. Finally, we made 7 mosaic images by means of geometric correction images over Korean peninsular. We think that constructed geometric correction data will be used for many application fields as basic data.

Observation of land surface temperature in industrial areas is problematic, as it is not possible to construct a network of weather stations with sufficiently high density and continuous operation in such zones. Multiphase remote sensing data that cover a wide area and take a short time to process can enable the user to precisely and continuously measure the current and changing land surface temperatures in a certain region. Jeollanam-Do in South Korea is undergoing rapid industrialization, with the establishment of a number of industrial complexes, such as the Gwangyang Steelworks, Yeosu Industrial Complex, Yulchon Industrial complex, and Daebul Industrial Complex. To look into the properties of industrial complex's temperature, this study uses the thermal band of Landsat 7 ETM+ images acquired under thermal infrared wavelengths in order to calculate and compare the surface temperatures of the four above-named industrial complexes. From this, it is possible to obtain the basic information about industrial complex for environmental and natural resource management, which will aid industrial complex planners in developing methods of addressing environmental problems.

이 연구에서는 다중시기 Landsat 영상을 이용하여 강원도 일대 임상의 변화를 살펴보고 상록수의 영급을 구분하는 알고리즘을 개발하여 적용하였다. 1980년대에서 현재까지 축적된 Landsat-5와 Landsat-7영상 중에서, 대부분 지역에 활잡목 및 활엽수가 낙엽이 지고 눈이 아직 쌓이지 않을 시기인 11월에 촬영된 영상만을 이용하였다. 각 영상에서 양지바른 상록수, 활엽수, 그늘진 지역, 도시 및 바다 등을 클래스로 지정하여 감돌분류를 하였다. 분류 결과에서 양지바른 상록수만 추출하여 5개의 영상을 이진 분류체계로 조합한 후 임상의 시기적 변화 양상을 관찰한 결과, 강원대 연습림의 조림 기록 및 현황도와 상당히 일치함을 확인하였으며, Path 115, Row 34에 해당하는 강원도 일대로 연구지역을 확대하였다. 향후 Kompsat-2를 비롯한 고해상도 11월 영상이 지속적으로 촬영된다면, 이 연구에서 개발된 이진 분류체계 방법을 통하여 산림변화의 모니터링을 보다 용이하고 효율적으로 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

지구온난화에 따른 이상기후현상을 해결하기 위해 인공위성영상을 이용한 식생의 변화유무와 특성파악이 중요하다. 특히, 인공위성의 근적외선 영역과 가시광선 영역을 이용한 정규식생분포지수는 식생의 활력도를 파악하고 변화유무를 판단하는 지표로서 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 최근 발사된 Landsat 8 OLI의 경우 정규식생분포지수에 영향을 주는 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역이 기존의 TM/ETM+ 위성의 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역보다 감소하였다. 또한 이러한 파장대역 변화에 의한 정규식생분포지수의 차이에 대해서 공식적으로 연구한 사례가 없다. 그러므로 본 연구는 Landsat 8 OLI 위성영상과 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성영상을 식생이 활발한 여름철(9월)과 그렇지 않은 겨울철(1월)의 영상을 각각 취득하여, 식생, 도심지, 도로, 농경지, 나지의 5가지 항목으로 분류하여 각각의 정규식생분포지수를 비교해보고 상관관계분석을 시도하였다.

본 연구에서는 Landsat 위성영상이 가진 열적외 밴드를 이용하여 서울시의 '16년 지표면 온도 변화를 분석하였다. '16년 7월과 8월에 발생한 폭염에 의해 온열질환 환자 2,095명과 사망자 17명을 발생시켰다. 위성영상을 이용하여 동일시기의 한반도 전체 지역 파악에는 한계가 있지만 특정 지역의 변화 추이를 분석하는 것은 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 공간해상도 30m급인 Landsat 위성영상을 이용하여 서울시의 '16년 대비 '94년과 '14년의 지표면 온도 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, '94년에 비해 $1.1^{\circ}C$가 낮고, '14년에 비해 $3.9^{\circ}C$ 높음으로 확인되었다.

The main purpose of this study was to classify forest vegetation effectively using Landsat Thematic Mapper data(June, 1994) in mountainous region. The research area was the Mt. Wolak Experimental Forest of Chungbuk National University, near Chungju and Jecheon city, Chungcheongbuk-do. To classify forest vegetation effectively, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) was used to reduce topographic effects. This NDVI was modified and transformed to the value of 0 to 255, and then the modified values were combined with other Landsat Thematic Mapper bands. To classify forest and land cover types, unsupervised classification method was used. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. Combinations of band "3, 5, NDVI" in Landsat Thematic Mapper data showed a good separation with high accuracy. The expected classification accuracy was 95.1% in Landsat Thematic Mapper data. 2. The Land Cover types were classified into six groups : coniferous forest, deciduous forest, mixed forest, paddy and grass, non-forest, and other undetectable areas. As these classified results were compared with the reconnaissance survey and aerial black and white infrared photographs, the overall classification accuracy was 76.5% in Landsat Thematic Mapper data. 3. The portion of non-forest in Mt. Wolak area was 1.9%. The percentages of coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests were 30.9%, 35.7% and 26.4%, respectively. 4. As these classified results were compared with other reference data, the percentages of coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests increased, but the portion of non-forest was exceedingly diminished. These differences are thought to be from the different research method and the different season of received Landsat Thematic Mapper data.
