Subsurface Internal Waves (IWs) can be detected in satellite images as periodic alternating brighter/darker stripes. It is known that there are two types of IWs - depression type and elevation type - depending on the water depth in stratified oceans. In this study, we have quantitatively verified the process of converting polarity from depression waves to elevation waves using ERS-2 SAR images acquired over the northern South China Sea. We simulated the evolution of IWs near a turning point with a numerical model for internal wave propagation. The simulation results near the turning point clearly showed us not only a conversion process of IWs from depression to elevation waves, but also a similar wave pattern with the observed SAR image. We also simulated SAR intensity variation near the turning point. The upper layer currents were computed at regular intervals using the numerical model, as the IWs were passing through the turning point. Then, an integrated hydrodynamic-electromagnetic model was used for simulating SAR intensity profiles from the upper layer currents at each position. The simulated SAR intensity profiles at each position were compared with the observed SAR intensities.

Object-based segmentation is the first essential step for image processing applications. Recently, SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) segmentation techniques have been developed, however not enough to preserve the significant information contained in the small regions of the images. The proposed method is to partition an SAR image into homogeneous regions by using a fuzzy hit-or-miss operator with an inherent spatial transformation, which endows to preserve the small regions. In our algorithm, an iterative segmentation technique is formulated as a consequential process. Then, each time in iterating, hypothesis testing is used to evaluate the quality of the segmented regions with a homogeneity index. The segmentation algorithm is unsupervised and employed few parameters, most of which can be calculated from the input data. This comparative study indicates that the new iterative segmentation algorithm provides acceptable results as seen in the tested examples of satellite images.

Extraction of the coastal boundary is important because the boundary serves as a reference in the demarcation of maritime zones such as territorial sea, contiguous zone, and exclusive economic zone. Accurate nautical charts also depend on well established, accurate, consistent, and current coastline delineation. However, to identify the precise location of the coastal boundary is a difficult task due to tidal and wave motions. This paper presents an efficient way to extract coastlines by applying digital image processing techniques to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. Over the past few years, satellite-based SAR and high resolution airborne SAR images have become available, and SAR has been evaluated as a new mapping technology. Using remotely sensed data gives benefits in several aspects, especially SAR is largely unaffected by weather constraints, is operational at night time over a large area, and provides high contrast between water and land areas. Various image processing techniques including region growing, texture-based image segmentation, local entropy method, and refinement with image pyramid were implemented to extract the coastline in this study. Finally, the results were compared with existing coastline data derived from aerial photographs.

New products and services, such as 5G and wireless power transmission equipment, have recently brought about changes in the field of electromagnetic technology. There is a need for the evaluation and measurement of the health effects of such technology. To address this need, the development of international standards related to human exposure to electromagnetic waves of these new technologies are currently being discussed. This article briefly introduces the International Standard Organization standards for human exposure to electromagnetic waves, and focuses on the major standard trends for SAR measurement techniques that employ vector probes, wireless power transfer, and 5G base station measurement.

Augmented reality based on projection, called "Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR)", is a new technology that can produce immersive contents by overlapping virtuality and real-world environment. It has been paid attention as the next generation digital contents in media art and human-computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present a new methodology to evaluate the product appearance design more intuitively by means of SAR technique. The proposed method first projects the high-quality rendered image considering the optical property of materials onto the mock-up of a product. We also conduct a projector-camera calibration to compensate a color distortion according to a projector, a projection surface and environment lighting. The design evaluation methodology we propose offers more flexible and intuitive evaluation environment to a designer and user (evaluator) than previous methods that are performed via a digital display. At the end of this research, we have conducted a case study for designing and evaluating appearance design of an automobile.

The sensitivity of microwave scattering to the dielectric properties and the geometric structure of soil surfaces makes radar remote sensing a challenge for a wide range of environmental issues directly related to the condition of natural surfaces. Especially, the potential for retrieving soil moisture with a high spatial and/or temporal resolution represents a significant contribution to hydrological and ecological modeling. This paper aims to review the current state of the art in SAR technology and methodological issues towards the discovery of a new potential accurate monitoring of soil moisture changes. In this paper, important parameters or constraints significantly affect the sensitivity of the measurements to soil moisture, such as roughness statistics, spatial resolution, and local topography, are discussed to improve the applicability of SAR remote sensing techniques. This study particularly intends to discuss important notes for developing smart and reliable methods capable of retrieving geophysical information.

최근 기후변화와 관련하여 국내를 비롯한 국제적인 관심이 증폭되고 있으며, 이러한 시대적인 흐름 속에 탄소흡수원으로서의 산림의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 산림전용 및 황폐화 방지를 통한 온실가스감축(Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation, REDD) 및 산림탄소축적보존 및 증진, 지속가능한 산림경영을 포함하는 REDD+가 post-2012에 이행될 신규 메커니즘으로 활용될 전망이다. 메커니즘의 이행을 위해서는 기본적으로 MRV(Measuring, Reporting and Verification) 시스템을 통해 메커니즘 적용 효과를 인증 받아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가장 효율적인 모니터링 방법 중 하나로 인정받고 있는 다양한 원격탐사기술의 토지피복변화 탐지 및 탄소축적량 추정하는 방법 및 효과를 비용 및 기술(불확실성)측면에서 분석하였다. 그 결과 토지피복변화탐지를 위해서는 중해상도 광학영상 및 위성 탑재 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar)가 가장 적합한 원격탐사자료로 도출되었다. 그리고 탄소축적량 추정에 있어서는, 항공기 탑재 LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging), SAR와 같이 불확실성이 낮은 기술과 비용효율적인 기술인 중해상도 광학영상, 위성 탑재 SAR 간의 통합을 통해 효율적인 결과를 도출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 아직까지 본 메커니즘에 대한 명확한 인증기관, 가이드라인 및 불확실성에 대한 기준이 결정 되지 않고 있으므로, 추후 지속적인 관심을 통해 국제적인 흐름을 파악하고, 적합한 방법론을 구축해야 한다. 뿐만 아니라 개발된 메커니즘을 대상 개도국에 활용하기 위해서는 긴밀한 국제협력관계 구축 및 대상국에 적합한 모니터링 방법 또한 고려해야 할 필요성이 있다.
