최근 전 세계적으로 많이 활용되는 MODIS영상은 250m 밴드 2개, 500m 밴드 5개, 1km 해상도의 밴드 29개로 제공된다. 그러나, 국내의 경우 상대적으로 국토 면적이 작고, 그 구조가 복잡하여 MODIS영상의 1km, 500m의 낮은 공간해 상도는 제약점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 공간해상도의 제약점을 해결하기 위해, MODIS 250m 2개 밴드와 500m 5개 밴드 영상을 합성하여 250m 공간해상도의 7개 밴드를 제작하였다. 이를 위해 Wavelet 합성방법을 비롯한 7개 합성방법을 적용하였으며, 6개의 통계적 합성 평가 척도를 적용하여 MODIS 합성 결과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 육안평가로는 LMVM 합성기법이 가장 선명한 합성영상을 제시하였으며, 합성평가 척도에서는 각 밴드별로 적합한 합성기법이 다르게 나왔으나, 전체적으로 PCA, LST, LMVM합성방법이 상대적으로 우수한 합성결과를 나타냈었다.

The MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor has 36 bands at 250m, 500m, 1km spatial resolution. However, 500m or 1km MODIS data exhibits a few limitations when low resolution data is applied at small areas that possess complex land cover types. In this study, we produce seven 250m spectral bands by fusing two MODIS 250m bands into five 500m bands. In order to recommend the best fusion method by which one acquires MODIS data, we compare seven fusion methods including the Brovey transform, principle components algorithm (PCA) fusion method, the Gram-Schmidt fusion method, the least mean and variance matching method, the least square fusion method, the discrete wavelet fusion method, and the wavelet-PCA fusion method. Results of the above fusion methods are compared using various evaluation indicators such as correlation, relative difference of mean, relative variation, deviation index, peak signal-to-noise ratio index and universal image quality index, as well as visual interpretation method. Among various fusion methods, the local mean and variance matching method provides the best fusion result for the visual interpretation and the evaluation indicators. The fusion algorithm of 250m MODIS data may be used to effectively improve the accuracy of various MODIS land products.

Satellite-based land surface temperature (LST) has been used as one of the major parameters in various climate and environmental models. Especially, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST is the most widely used satellite-based LST product due to its spatiotemporal coverage (1 km spatial and sub-daily temporal resolutions) and longevity (> 20 years). However, there is an increasing demand for LST products with finer spatial resolution (e.g., 10-250 m) over regions such as urban areas. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to produce high-resolution MODIS-like LST less than 250 m (e.g., 100 m). The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research trends and challenges for the downscaling of MODIS LST. Based on the recent literature survey for the past decade, the downscaling techniques classified into three groups-kernel-driven, fusion-based, and the combination of kernel-driven and fusion-based methods-were reviewed with their pros and cons. Then, five open issues and challenges were discussed: uncertainty in LST retrievals, low thermal contrast, the nonlinearity of LST temporal change, cloud contamination, and model generalization. Future research directions of LST downscaling were finally provided.

In 2015, drought was at the worst stage of devastation in Soyanggang Dam watershed. The purpose of this study is to trace the drought area around Soyanggang dam watershed by using Terra MODIS image because it has the ability of spatio-temporal dynamics. The MODIS indices, which included the enhanced vegetation index (NDVI), were extracted from MODIS product MOD13 16-day composite datasets with a spatial resolution of 250m from 2010.01.01 to 2015.06.30. We found that application of Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) and Standardized Vegetation Index (SVI) was suitable for monitoring the drought area. The result can be used to acquire the drought data scattered and demonstrate the potential for the use of MODIS data for temporal and spatial detection of drought effects.

The land surface parameters should be determined with sufficient accuracy, because these play an important role in climate change near the ground. As the surface reflectance presents strong anisotropy, off-nadir viewing results a strong dependency of observations on the Sun - target - sensor geometry. They contribute to the random noise which is produced by surface angular effects. The principal objective of the study is to provide a database of accurate surface reflectance eliminated the angular effects from MODIS 250m reflective channel data over Korea. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor has provided visible and near infrared channel reflectance at 250m resolution on a daily basis. The successive analytic processing steps were firstly performed on a per-pixel basis to remove cloudy pixels. And for the geometric distortion, the correction process were performed by the nearest neighbor resampling using 2nd-order polynomial obtained from the geolocation information of MODIS Data set. In order to correct the surface anisotropy effects, this paper attempted the semiempirical kernel-driven Bi- directional Reflectance Distribution Function(BRDF) model. The algorithm yields an inversion of the kernel-driven model to the angular components, such as viewing zenith angle, solar zenith angle, viewing azimuth angle, solar azimuth angle from reflectance observed by satellite. First we consider sets of the model observations comprised with a 31-day period to perform the BRDF model. In the next step, Nadir view reflectance normalization is carried out through the modification of the angular components, separated by BRDF model for each spectral band and each pixel. Modeled reflectance values show a good agreement with measured reflectance values and their RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) was totally about 0.01(maximum=0.03). Finally, we provide a normalized surface reflectance database consisted of 36 images for 2001 over Korea.

The MODIS Land Rapid Response System (RRS) has been developed to provide rapid access to MODIS data globally, with initial emphasis on 250 m color composite imagery and active fire data. Fire detection is based on a contextual algorithm that exploits the strong emission of mid-infrared radiation from fires. This algorithm examines each pixel of the MODIS swath, and ultimately assigns to each one of the following classes: missing data, cloud, water, non-fire, fire, or unknown. In this paper, we introduce the MODIS Rapid Response System established at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and present some application results for Korea using the direct broadcast data acquired at KARI ground station.

현재 NASA에서 제공되는 MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09)는 MODIS영상을 이용한 각종 주제자료들의 중요한 입력 자료로 사용되고 있으며, MODIS 지표반사율 자료에 대한 객관적인 검증연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MOD09의 검증관련 초기 연구로서, 남한에 분포하는 불변성 타겟(invariant target)을 대상으로 2006년 일별 250m MODIS 지표반사율자료(MOD09GQK)자료의 객관적 검증을 시도하였다. 우선, MOD09 QA(Quality Assurance)자료를 이용하여 구름의 영향을 받은 화소를 제거한 후, 수치지도와 토지피복도를 이용하여 정의한 불변성 타겟에 해당되는 MOD09영상의 화소값을 추출하였다. 이와 같이 추출된 시계열 MOD09GHK영상의 화소값에 1차 회귀분석을 적용하여 이상 반사율 값을 탐지하고, 그 원인을 분석하였다. 검증 결과 나지지역에 대해서 0.0186의 RMSE값이 나타났으며, 인공물의 경우 0.2891의 RMSE값을 보였다. 발생된 이상 화소를 살펴보면, 구름, 그림자, 눈에 영향에 의해 발생한 것도 있으며, 원인을 알 수 없는 이상 화소들도 분포하였다. 향후 연구에서는 한반도 전역의 MODIS 시계열 반사율영상을 대상으로 MODIS 대기보정알고리즘과 입력인자의 적합성을 판단하기 위한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.
