This paper demonstrates that RADARSAT ScanSAR data can be an important data source of radar remote sensing for monitoring crop systems and estimation of rice yield for large areas in tropic and sub-tropical regions. Experiments were carried out to show the effectiveness of RADARSAT ScanSAR data for rice yield estimation in whole province of Guangdong, South China. A methodology was developed to deal with a series of issues in extracting rice information from the ScanSAR data, such as topographic influences, levels of agro-management, irregular distribution of paddy fields and different rice cropping systems. A model was provided for rice yield estimation based on the relationship between the backscatter coefficient of multi-temporal SAR data and the biomass of rice.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상과 AIS(Automatic Identification System) 자료를 활용하여 선박 탐지 실험을 수행하였다. 2010년 5월, 2주간 서해안(인천 근해)의 다중시기 해외위성 SAR 영상인 TerraSAR-X, Cosmo-SkyMed(X-밴드), Radarsat-2(C-밴드)와 AIS 자료를 이용하였다. SAR 영상 분석을 위해 해양과 선박의 산란 특성과 SAR 영상과 AIS 자료의 기초 처리 방법을 기술하였다. 선박 식별을 위해서 임계값 설정 기법을 사용하였다. 선박 탐지 결과로 시계열 변화 탐지와 AIS 연동 선박 탐지 사례를 보인다. 이 결과를 통해 위성 SAR 영상과 AIS를 이용한 선박 탐지는 해양 관리에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

By the end of December 2020, an earthquake with Mw about 6.4 hit Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia. The town of Petrinja was the most affected region with major power outage and many buildings collapsed. The damage also affected neighbor countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. As a light of this devastating event, a deformation map due to this earthquake could be generated by using remote sensing imagery from Sentinel-1 SAR data. InSAR could be used as deformation map but still affected with noise factor that could problematize the exact deformation value for further research. Thus in this study, 17 SAR data from Sentinel-1 satellite is used in order to generate the multi-temporal interferometry utilize Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS). Mean deformation map that has been compensated from error factors such as atmospheric, topographic, temporal, and baseline errors are generated. Okada model then applied to the mean deformation result to generate the modeled earthquake, resulting the deformation is mostly dominated by strike-slip with 3 meter deformation as right lateral strike-slip. The Okada sources are having 11.63 km in length, 2.45 km in width, and 5.46 km in depth with the dip angle are about 84.47° and strike angle are about 142.88° from the north direction. The results from this modeling can be used as learning material to understand the seismic activity in the latest 2020 Petrinja, Croatia Earthquake.

TerraSAR-X is new radar satellite operated at X-band, multi polarization, and multi beam mode. Compared with C-band or L-band SAR, the X-band system inherently suffers from more temporal decorrelation, but is more sensitive to surface deformation monitoring due to short wavelength (3.1 cm) and high spatial resolution (1m-3m). It is generally expected that sensitivity to estimate surface movement using TerraSAR-X will be increased by the factor of 10, compared to current C-band system with low spatial resolution such as ERS-2, Envisat. Many urban areas are experiencing land subsidence due to water, oil and natural gas withdrawal, underground excavation, sediment compaction, and so on. Monitoring of surface deformation is valuable for effectively limiting damage areas. In addition high accuracy and spatially dense subsidence map can be achieved by X-band InSAR observation, promoting identification and separation of various subsidence processes and leading to enhanced understanding via mechanical modeling. In this study we will introduce some initial InSAR results using new TerraSAR-X SAR data for surface deformation monitoring.

최근 TerraSAR-X SAR, TanDEM-X 또는 COSMO-SkyMed와 같은 1 m 급의 고해상도 X-band SAR 센서를 탑재한 인공위성이 발사되어 운행되고 있다. 국내에서도 X-band를 탑재한 1m 급의 고해상도 위성 레이더인 KOMPSAT-5가 발사될 예정에 있다. 본 연구는 X-band SAR 영상을 이용한 PSInSAR 기법 적용에 보다 적합한 고정산란체 추출 및 네트워크 생성 기법을 개발하였다. 새로운 PSC 추출 알고리즘은 다음 두 단계로 구성되어 있다. 첫 번째 진폭분산지수, 평균반사강도, 평균긴밀도를 복합적으로 이용하여 초기 PSC를 선출한다. 두 번째 초기 선출된 PSC의 네트워크 분석을 통해 추정된 각 PSC에서의 시계열 긴밀도를 직접 이용하여 최종 추출한다. 또한 PSC를 이용한 네트워크 분석의 안정성을 높이기 위한 multi-TIN 구성 기법과 비 도심지역에서 분석 신뢰도를 높이기 위한 복합 네트워크를 제안하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 뉴올리언즈 지역에서 획득된 21개의 TerraSAR-X SAR 자료에 적용한 결과, 기존의 PSInSAR 기법으로는 관측되지 않았던 비 도심지역에서 다수의 PS가 추출되어 변위 속도 분석이 가능하였다. 이러한 결과는 주로 도심지역에서 널리 사용되어 왔던 PSInSAR 기법을 비 도심지역으로까지 확대하는 것으로, 향후 KOMPSAT-5를 활용한 한반도 지역 상시 모니터링에 기여할 것이다.

This study demonstrates a novel approach of remotely sensed estimates of stream flow at fifteen hydrological station in the Han River Basin, Korea. Multi-temporal data of the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 SAR satellite from 19 January, 2015 to 25 August, 2018 is used to develop and validate the flow estimation model for each station. The flow estimation model is based on a power law relationship established between the remotely sensed surface area of water at a selected reach of the stream and the observed discharge. The satellite images were pre-processed for thermal noise, radiometric, speckle and terrain correction. The difference in SAR image brightness caused by the differences in SAR satellite look angle and atmospheric condition are corrected using the histogram matching technique. Selective area filtering is applied to identify the extent of the selected stream reach where the change in water surface area is highly sensitive to the change in stream discharge. Following this, an iterative procedure called the Optimum Threshold Classification Algorithm (OTC) is applied to the multi-temporal selective areas to extract a series of water surface areas. It is observed that the extracted water surface area and the stream discharge are related by the power law equation. A strong correlation coefficient ranging from 0.68 to 0.98 (mean=0.89) was observed for thirteen hydrological stations, while at two stations the relationship was highly affected by the hydraulic structures such as dam. It is further identified that the availability of remotely sensed data for a range of discharge conditions and the geometric properties of the selected stream reach such as the stream width and side slope influence the accuracy of the flow estimation model.

In this paper, the interferometric coherence was estimated and the amplitude intensity was extracted using the repeat-pass interferometric data, acquired by European Remote Sensing Satellite 1 and 2. Then discrimination and classification of surface land types in Zhangjiakou test site, Hebei Province were carried out based on the coherence estimation and the intensity extraction. Seven types of land were discriminated and classified, including in two different types of meadows, woodland, dry land, grassland, steppe and water body. The backscatter and coherence characteristics of these land types on the multi-temporal images were analyzed, and the change of surface features with time series was also discussed.

We have developed a new method to visualize river networks in tropical rain forests from JERS-1 SAR images. This method compresses river information in an original SAR image to a small image displaying wide rivers as dark objects in real size and narrower rivers as bright objects showing brightness level as an indicator of the discharge. We applied this method to 476 images of Amazon forests, 13 observations for path 415 data and 11 observations for path 416 data between 1993 and 1997. We confirmed that a change observed in a preliminary experiment was certainly a part of seasonal changes. The changes roughly correspond to the monthly precipitation changes. Through a simple digital analysis although qualitative, we also detected subtle but consistent regional differences among minor tributaries that belong to a major tributary basin.

SAR image is not dependent on the weather condition and Sun's electromagnetic energy. But geometric distortions exist in almost all radar image, it need to be correction. The Radarsat-1 SAR images are used to monitoring of moisture acquired in May 1/1998 and May 25/1998. Radarsat-1 C band data is sensitive on moisture condition. Study area is located in Non-san site. It is made up almost agricultural area and a little of forest area. In May, Rice-planting is started in the midland of Korea. So moisture condition is undergoing many changes. Forest area need to be terrain effect removal for accurately results because it is included in layover, shadow, and so on. Results of land-cover moisture condition map are useful tool for fields of agriculture, forestry industry, and disaster.

위성 SAR 영상의 활용이 증가하면서 영상의 해석 및 융합을 위한 정밀 기하보정에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 특히 광역감시 목적으로 활용되기 위해 서로 다른 해상도를 갖는 SAR 영상간 정보융합도 활발해지고 있다. 일반적으로 SAR 영상의 기하보정은 위성의 궤도 및 자세정보를 활용하여 수행할 수 있지만 SAR 센서의 궤도 및 시스템 오차, 대상지형 특성에 의한 왜곡으로 인해 추가적인 보정이 필요하게 된다. SAR 영상을 통한 변화탐지나 타 영상과의 융합에 적용하기 위해서는 기하 오차 보정이 반드시 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위해 다수의 지상 기준점을 선정하고 이를 포함하는 기준 영상과 비교하여 원본 영상에서 대응점을 찾는 방식으로 정밀 기하보정을 수행할 수 있다. Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) 기법은 쉽고 빠르게 영상의 기준점을 찾을 수 있지만 상대적으로 해상도가 낮고 스펙클 잡음에 영향을 받는 SAR 영상에서는 활용하기가 어렵다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 SURF 기법을 위성 SAR 영상에 적용할 때 발생할 수 있는 오차를 추출하고 영상 특성에 따른 성능 변화를 분석하였다. SURF 알고리즘의 적용이 가능한 입력 변수의 적정 범위를 제시하고 그에 따른 영상 정합의 오차를 분석하여 중저해상도의 위성 SAR 영상에 대해서도 SURF 기법을 통한 기하 보정 및 영상 정합이 적용될 수 있음을 검증하였다.
