Compared to the imagery produced by traditional satellites, PlanetScope satellite imagery has made it possible to easily capture remotely-sensed imagery every day through dozens or even hundreds of satellites on a relatively small budget. This study aimed to detect changed areas and update a land cover map using a PlanetScope image. To generate a classification map, pixel-based Random Forest (RF) classification was performed by using additional features, such as the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The classification result was converted to vector data and compared with the existing land cover map to estimate the changed area. To estimate the accuracy and trends of the changed area, the quantitative quality of the supervised classification result using the PlanetScope image was evaluated first. In addition, the patterns of the changed area that corresponded to the classification result were analyzed using the PlanetScope satellite image. Experimental results found that the PlanetScope image can be used to effectively to detect changed areas on large-scale land cover maps, and supervised classification results can update the changed areas.

In this study, collapsed building detection using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and PlanetScope satellite images was carried out, suggesting the possibility of utilization of heterogeneous sensors in object detection located on the surface. To this end, the area where about 20 buildings collapsed due to forest fire damage was selected as study site. First of all, the feature information of objects such as ExG (Excess Green), GLCM (Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix), and DSM (Digital Surface Model) were generated using high-resolution UAV images performed object-based segmentation to detect collapsed buildings. The features were then used to detect candidates for collapsed buildings. In this process, a result of the change detection using PlanetScope were used together to improve detection accuracy. More specifically, the changed pixels acquired by the bitemporal PlanetScope images were used as seed pixels to correct the misdetected and overdetected areas in the candidate group of collapsed buildings. The accuracy of the detection results of collapse buildings using only UAV image and the accuracy of collapse building detection result when UAV and PlanetScope images were used together were analyzed through the manually dizitized reference image. As a result, the results using only UAV image had 0.4867 F1-score, and the results using UAV and PlanetScope images together showed that the value improved to 0.8064 F1-score. Moreover, the Kappa coefficiant value was also dramatically improved from 0.3674 to 0.8225.

Topographic normalization reduces the terrain effects on reflectance by adjusting the brightness values of the image pixels to be equal if the pixels cover the same land-cover. Topographic effects are induced by the imaging conditions and tend to be large in high mountainousregions. Therefore, image analysis on mountainous terrain such as estimation of wildfire damage assessment requires appropriate topographic normalization techniques to yield accurate image processing results. However, most of the previous studies focused on the evaluation of topographic normalization on satellite images with moderate-low spatial resolution. Thus, the alleviation of topographic effects on multi-temporal high-resolution images was not dealt enough. In this study, the evaluation of terrain normalization was performed for each band to select the optimal technical combinations for rapid and accurate wildfire damage assessment using PlanetScope images. PlanetScope has considerable potential in the disaster management field as it satisfies the rapid image acquisition by providing the 3 m resolution daily image with global coverage. For comparison of topographic normalization techniques, seven widely used methods were employed on both pre-fire and post-fire images. The analysis on bi-temporal images suggests the optimal combination of techniques which can be applied on images with different land-cover composition. Then, the vegetation index was calculated from the images after the topographic normalization with the proposed method. The wildfire damage detection results were obtained by thresholding the index and showed improvementsin detection accuracy for both object-based and pixel-based image analysis. In addition, the burn severity map was constructed to verify the effects oftopographic correction on a continuous distribution of brightness values.

Arriving in the new space age, securing technology for fusion application of KOMPSAT-3·3A and global satellite images is becoming more important. In general, multi-sensor satellite images have relative geometric errors due to various external factors at the time of acquisition, degrading the quality of the satellite image outputs. Therefore, we propose a fine-image registration methodology to minimize the relative geometric error between KOMPSAT-3·3A and global satellite images. After selecting the overlapping area between the KOMPSAT-3·3A and foreign satellite images, the spatial resolution between the two images is unified. Subsequently, tie-points are extracted using a hybrid matching method in which feature- and area-based matching methods are combined. Then, fine-image registration is performed through iterative registration based on pyramid images. To evaluate the performance and accuracy of the proposed method, we used KOMPSAT-3·3A, Sentinel-2A, and PlanetScope satellite images acquired over Daejeon city, South Korea. As a result, the average RMSE of the accuracy of the proposed method was derived as 1.2 and 3.59 pixels in Sentinel-2A and PlanetScope images, respectively. Consequently, it is considered that fine-image registration between multi-sensor satellite images can be effectively performed using the proposed method.

Compact Advanced Satellite 500 (CAS500) can be used for various purposes, including vegetation, forestry, and agriculture fields. It is expected that it will be possible to acquire satellite images of various areas quickly. In order to use satellite images acquired through CAS500 in the agricultural field, it is necessary to develop a satellite image-based extraction technique for crop-cultivated areas.In particular, as research in the field of deep learning has become active in recent years, research on developing a deep learning model for extracting crop cultivation areas and generating training data is necessary. This manuscript classified the onion and garlic cultivation areas in Hapcheon-gun using PlanetScope satellite images and farm maps. In particular, for effective model learning, the model performance was analyzed according to the proportion of crop-cultivated areas. For the deep learning model used in the experiment, Fully Convolutional Densely Connected Convolutional Network (FC-DenseNet) was reconstructed to fit the purpose of crop cultivation area classification and utilized. As a result of the experiment, the ratio of crop cultivation areas in the training data affected the performance of the deep learning model.

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most widely used remote sensing data in the agricultural field and is currently provided by most optical satellites. In particular, as high-resolution optical satellite images become available, the selection of optimal optical satellite images according to agricultural applications has become a very important issue. In this study, we aim to define the most optimal optical satellite image when monitoring NDVI in rice fields in Korea and derive the resolution-related requirements necessary for this. For this purpose, we compared and analyzed the spatial distribution and time series patterns of the Dangjin rice paddy in Korea from 2019 to 2022 using NDVI images from MOD13, Landsat-8, Sentinel-2A/B, and PlanetScope satellites, which are widely used around the world. Each data is provided with a spatial resolution of 3 m to 250 m and various periods, and the area of the spectral band used to calculate NDVI also has slight differences. As a result of the analysis, Landsat-8 showed the lowest NDVI value and had very low spatial variation. In comparison, the MOD13 NDVI image showed similar spatial distribution and time series patterns as the PlanetScope data but was affected by the area surrounding the rice field due to low spatial resolution. Sentinel-2A/B showed relatively low NDVI values due to the wide near-infrared band area, and this feature was especially noticeable in the early stages of growth. PlanetScope's NDVI provides detailed spatial variation and stable time series patterns, but considering its high purchase price, it is considered to be more useful in small field areas than in spatially uniform rice paddy. Accordingly, for rice field areas, 250 m MOD13 NDVI or 10 m Sentinel-2A/B are considered to be the most efficient, but high-resolution satellite images can be used to estimate detailed physical quantities of individual crops.

In this study, we tried to utilize results of the change detection analysis for satellite images as the basis for updating the land cover map. The Sequential Spectral Change Vector Analysis ($S^2CVA$) was applied to multi-temporal multispectral satellite imagery in order to extract changed areas, efficiently. Especially, we minimized the false alarm rate of unsupervised change detection due to the seasonal variation using the direction information in $S^2CVA$. The binary image, which is the result of unsupervised change detection, was integrated with the existing land cover map using the zonal statistics. And then, object-based analysis was performed to determine the changed area. In the experiment using PlanetScope data and the land cover map of the Ministry of Environment, the change areas within the existing land cover map could be detected efficiently.

침수흔적도는 풍수해로 인한 침수기록(침수심, 침수위, 침수시간 등)을 조사하여 표시한 도면으로 자연재해 경감 및 신속한 대피를 위하여 작성하도록 자연재해대책법에 따라 규정되어있다. 이러한 침수흔적도는 국가 방재에 따른 기초자료로 사용되지만 광범위한 지역을 신속 정확하게 조사하기에는 예산 부족 및 관리 미흡으로 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 2018년 10월초 경북 영덕군에서 발생한 태풍 콩레이 침수피해사상을 대상으로 위성영상기반 침수판별지도를 작성하였고, 이를 실제자료와 비교하여 침수흔적도 작성 시 첨단영상의 활용가능성을 확인하였다. 위성영상으로는 ESA의 Sentinel-1과 PlanetLab사(社)의 PlanetScope를 활용하였고, 검증에 활용한 자료는 CCTV를 영상자료를 활용하여 정확성을 평가하였다. 침수심과 침수규모를 확인하기 위해 사용한 지형자료는 10m DEM자료와 드론영상자료를 통해 구축한 DSM을 활용하였다. 그 결과 위성영상을 활용한 침수판별지도는 실제 CCTV영상자료와 높은 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 드론영상을 통해 지형자료를 구축한 경우 DEM에 비해 정확도가 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 위성영상자료의 해상도가 높을수록 실제자료와 유사하게 침수규모를 판별할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 첨단영상을 활용한 침수흔적도 작성은 기존조사보다 신속하고 광범위하게 자료를 수집할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Eco printing offers the perfect balance between getting all our printing jobs done without endangering the environment. It is important to realize that the printing industry is no exception to this rampant destruction of the planet's natural resources. In fact, surprisingly enough, its effect on the environment is an extremely harmful one. Like most other production operations, printing houses also produce harmful waste products that pollute the air we breathe in. They also put a great drain on precious natural resources. Printing houses emit what are known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), caused by the use of petroleum-based inks, laminates, varnishes and adhesives. Studies show that these compounds, when inhaled, greatly increase the risk of asthma attacks. Eco printing, however, has a larger scope than is apparent. Eco printing has a dual essence. In order to understand what it is really all about, the issue of conservation is no less important than the need to stop polluting the environment.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 위성영상을 이용하여 지난 8월 29일 북한 함경북도 지역에서 발생한 홍수에 의한 피해를 분석하였다. 북한은 접근이 불가능한 지리적 특성을 가지기 때문에 인공위성을 활용한 모니터링이 유일한 관측 수단이라고 할 수 있다. 북한측 발표내용에 의하면 이번 홍수로 인해 사망 130여명, 실종 400여명, 시설물 8,670동 등 대규모 피해가 발생하였으며, 이재민은 7만명이 넘는 것으로 나타났다. 위성영상을 이용하여 모든 피해지역을 파악하는 것은 한계가 있지만, 일부 지역의 피해분석을 통해 피해규모를 간접적으로 확인하는 것은 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 5m급 고해상도 위성영상인 플래닛스코프(PlanetScope), 래피드아이(RapidEye) 영상을 이용하여 회령, 송학, 남양, 종성 4개 지역의 홍수피해 전, 직후, 한 달 후의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 해당지역은 시설물 및 농경지 침수, 제방붕괴 등이 발생하였으며, 홍수로 인한 지형변화가 동반되었음이 확인되었다.
