The objective of this study is to verify the positional accuracy by performing the orthometric corrections on the high resolution satellite images and to analyze the band correlation between the high resolution images corrected with orthometric correction. The objectives also included an analysis on the correlation of NDVI. For the orthometric correction of images from KOMPSAT2 and IKONOS, systematic errors were removed in use of RPC data, and non-planar distortions were corrected with GPS surveying data. Also, by preempting the image points at the same positions within ortho images, a comparison was performed on positional accuracies between image points of each image and GPS surveying points. The comparison was also made on the positional accuracies of image points. between the images. For correlation of band and correlation of NDVI, the descriptive statistics of DN values were acquired for respective bands by adding the Quickbird images and Aerial Photographs undergone through orthometric correction at the time of purchase. As result, from a comparison on positional accuracies of Orthoimages from KOMPSAT2 and Ortho Images of IKONOS was made. From the comparison the distance between the image points within each image and GPS surveying points was identified as 3.41m for KOMPSAT2 and as 1.45m for IKONOS, presenting a difference of 1.96m. Whereas, RMSE between image points was identified as 1.88m. The level of correlation was measured by using Quickbird, KOMPSAT2, IKONOS and Aerial Photographs between inter-image bands and NDVI, showing that there were high levels of correlation between Quickbird and IKONOS identified from all bands as well as from NDVI, except a high level of correlation that was identified between the Aerial Photographs and KOMPSAT2 from Band 2. Low levels of correlation were also identified between Quickbird and Aerial Photographs from Band 1. and between KOMPSAT2 and IKONOS from Band 2 and Band 4, whereas, KOMPSAT2 showed low correlations with Aerial Photographs from Band 3. For NDVI, KOMPSAT2 showed low level of correlations with both of QuickBird and IKONOS.

Recently, sensor network technology is a highly concerned area due to the expectation of many applications in various fields. The application of sensor network technology to the marine and ocean surveillance and investigation makes the marine environmental research easier since intelligent sensor nodes substitute the human labor work. In ocean sensor network, the localization scheme for the sensor nodes is most essential because all the information without from sensor nodes might be useless unless the positional information of each sensor nodes is provided. In this paper, the localization scheme with mobile beacons in ocean sensor networks is suggested and showed it could be effective for applying to marine circumstances. Even though the previous localization scheme(Ssu's) has advantages that additional hardware is not required for obtaining the information of distance and angle and shows the high accuracy of location and energy efficiency and easy expandability as well, it has also demerits the location error increases as the minimum distance between the absolute positional information become closer. In our works, the improved localization scheme with the presumed area of sensor node using geometric constraints is suggested.

In this paper, a new method of character recognition is proposed. It uses density information, in addition to positional and directional information generally used, to recognize a character. Four directional feature primitives are extracted from the thinning templates on the observation that the output of the templates have directional property in general. A simple and fast feature extraction scheme is possible. Features are organized from recursive nonary tree(N-tree) that corresponds to normalized character area. Each node of the N-tree has four directional features that are sum of the features of it's nine sub-nodes. Every feature primitive from the templates are added to the corresponding leaf and then summed to the upper nodes successively. Recognition can be accomplished by using appropriate feature level of N-tree. Also, effectiveness of each node's feature vector was tested by experiment. A method to implement the proposed feature vector organization algorithm into hardware is proposed as well. The third generation node, which is 4$\times$4, is used as a unit processing element to extract features, and it was implemented in hardware. As a result, we could observe that it is possible to extract feature vector for real-time processing.

Fundamental positioning characteristics of a dual-axis Sawyer linear motor are described. The Sawyer motor is capable of high positional accuracy. An electronic control unit of the motor whose velocity is proportional to the frequency of the electric current was produced in our laboratory. The positioning system was constructed using two Sawyer motors, an air bearings suspension unit and an electronic control unit. The stable motion of the motor was confirmed on the open loop operation. The adjustable operating conditions were the live load of 1 kg, the maximum acceleration of 1.2G and the maximum velocity of 350 mm/s. Absolute positioning accuracy was improved within .+-.5.mu.m, on microstep operating conditions of dividing one pitch of 508.mu.m into 508 steps. The following two conclusions were obtained. An accelerating-cruising-decelerating control is effective for reduction in the travel time required. Also, microstep operation is effective for improving the resolution of position.

According to recent trend, hard disk drive(HDD) has been smaller and less weight. Therefore, it needs new method of writing position information. In this thesis, a new controller that is suitable for SSW is proposed. The controller accepted SSW technology that is used to write position information in current HDD industry. The important condition to perform SSW is to reach constant velocity decided from the head velocity profile as fast as possible. The constant velocity decides the positional accuracy of spiral pattern and setup time decides the capacity of HDD. The head velocity profile as a reference signal must be designed not to cause resonance mode. The proposed controller was designed with consideration of these 3 elements, and it properly works for SSW. The velocity profile designed with SMART control not only minimizes the jerk, but also does not cause the resonance mode of a plant. After designing a conventional PID controller, it compared with electrical spring technique and ZPET technique.

In this paper, an automatic cruise system of unmanned boat was developed for surveying water depth in reservoir using accurate location information. Using global satellite navigation system(GNSS) data in real time, this unmanned system, combined with an echo sounder, can simultaneously collect location information and depth information on the reservoir. This automatic navigation system allows the automatic route generation program to automatically generate a cruise route according to the input conditions for grid sizes of 5m, 10m and 20m, and automatically controls the cruise route with high positional accuracy. The developed system was tested to verify the applicability of the selected Yonggok(Geoncheon) reservoir as a test reservoir located in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do.

Recently in the field of telecommunication, there is much interest in geo-surface characteristics of urban areas. Geophysical properties of urban features are now incorporated with accurate positional information to model the telecommunication environment. In this study, three-dimensional buildings are geometrically reconstructed from existing vector maps and aerial images. Accurate digital vector maps are easily available in Korea. However existing maps, which had been produced for GIS applications, do not have height information which is critical to three dimensional building reconstruction. Image matching techniques were applied to aerial image stereopairs to automatically extract the height information of buildings. Planimetric coordinates from vector maps were used as initial guides in the process. Future studies will be undertaken to link geophysical properties to the three-dimensional spatial objects reconstructed from this study thus bringing the telecommunication environment model closer to reality.

This paper describes design and development of a system that supports continuous creation of hazard maps by local residents in their daily life. We made an interview survey to design our system in a model traditional town in Saga, Japan. The results show that in spite of continuous efforts, many practical problems remain and residents feel unsafe. Based on these results, we designed and developed a unique ICT-based support system which contributes to community-based disaster prevention/reduction. The continuous resident participation and posting design are core concept for our sustainable community-based approach. Our system continues to support making a hazard map by integrating the community-based hazard information. Local residents register information about the spot (disaster types, a risk level, a photograph, comments, positional information) that can be dangerous in case of disaster. We have evaluated the usefulness and possibilities of our prototype system implemented as an iOS application.

This paper proposes a watermarking scheme to protect ownership of a digital hologram, an ultra-high value-added content. It performs pre-defined levels of quad-tree Fresnelet transforms. The relationship among the same-positional-blocks is extracted as the digital pre-watermark. For the relationship, we use properties of a digital hologram that a hologram pixel retains all the information of the object and that the same size of partial holograms reconstructs the same size of object but different in their view points. Also we mix a set of private data with the pre-watermark and the result is encrypted by a block cipher algorithm with a private key. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme is very robust for the various malicious and non-malicious attacks. Also because it extracts the watermarking data instead of inserting, the watermarking process does not harm the original hologram data. So, it is expected to be used effectively for invisible and robust watermark for digital holograms.

The GPS technique widely used recently in car navigation system has two problems that are unavailability in urban canyons and inherent positional error rate. The one has been studied and solved in many literatures. However, the other still leads to incorrect locational information in some area, especially parallel roads. This paper proposes and implements a system to recognize lane of moving vehicle based on images obtained from in-vehicle networks or other devices. The proposed system utilizes a real-time image matching algorithm which determines the direction of moving vehicle in parallel section of road. It also employs a method for accuracy improvement. The results obtained from experimental test on real-time navigation show that the proposed systems works well and the accuracy increases.
