Very decisive progress was made in advancing fundamental POL-IN-SAR theory and algorithm development during the past decade. This was accomplished with the aid of airborne & shuttle platforms supporting single -to-multi-band multi-modal POL-SAR and also some POL-IN-SAR sensor systems, which will be compared and assessed with the aim of establishing the hitherto not completed but required missions such as tomographic and holographic imaging. Because the operation of airborne test-beds is extremely expensive, aircraft platforms are not suited for routine monitoring missions which is better accomplished with the use drones or UAVs. Such unmanned aerial vehicles were developed for defense applications, however lacking the sophistic ation of implementing advanced forefront POL-IN-SAR technology. This shortcoming will be thoroughly scrutinized resulting in the finding that we do now need to develop most rapidly POL-IN-SAR drone-platform technology especially for environmental stress-change monitoring with a great variance of applications beginning with flood, bush/forest-fire to tectonic-stress (earth-quake to volcanic eruptions) for real-short-time hazard mitigation. However, for routine global monitoring purposes of the terrestrial covers neither airborne sensor implementation - aircraft and/or drones - are sufficient; and there -fore multi-modal and multi-band space-borne POL-IN-SAR space-shuttle and satellite sensor technology needs to be further advanced at a much more rapid phase. The existing ENVISAT with the forthcoming ALOSPALSAR, RADARSAT-2, and the TERRASAT will be compared, demonstrating that at this phase of development the fully polarimetric and polarimetric-interferometric modes of operation must be viewed and treated as preliminary algorithm verification support modes and at this phase of development are still not to be viewed as routine modes.

인공위성의 SAR 센서를 이용하여 1996년 8월 15일 획득한 영상 자료로부터 제주도 북쪽 연안에서 내부파가 관측되었다. 영상 자료와 내부파가 발생한 주변 수심 그리고 조석자료를 고려해 볼 때 이 내부파는 여름철의 성층화된 해수에서 조류 전류시 조류가 해저 지형과의 상호 작용에 의하여 발생한 것으로 추측되며 솔리톤의 형태를 띠고 있다. 영상자료에서 분석한 솔리톤의 파장과 K-dV 방정식을 이용하여 가능한 솔리톤의 진폭을 계산하였다. 이러한 내부파는 물리적으로, 군사적으로, 그리고 해양생물학적으로 매우 중요한 현상으로 앞으로 내부파의 시간 및 공간적인 변화를 알기 위하여 SAR 영상 관측과 동시 현장관측을 병행하는 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

China is one of the countries in which flood occurs most frequently in the world and with the current economic growth; flood disaster causes more and more economic losses. Chinese government pays more attention to flood monitoring and assessment by space technology. Since1983, NOAA(AVHRR), Landsat-TM, LANDSAT-ETM+, JERS-1, SPOT, ERS-2, Radarsat-1, CBERS-1, Envisat have been used for flood monitoring and assessment. Due to the bad weather conditions during flood, microwave remote sensing is the major tools for flood monitoring. Envisat is one of the best satellite with powerful SAR. Its application for flood monitoring has been studied and its near real time(NRT) application can be realized on the basis of real-time delivery of image. During the 2005, 2006 and 2007 flood seasons, over the 31 NRT flood monitoring based on Envisat, had been carried out in Yangtze, Songua, Huaihe, pearl river basin. The result shows that Envisat SAR is very useful data source for flood disaster monitoring and assessment.

Augustine volcano is an active stratovolcano located at the southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. Augustine volcano had experienced seven significantly explosive eruptions in 1812, 1883, 1908, 1935, 1963, 1976, and 1986, and a minor eruption in January 2006. We measured the surface displacements of the volcano by radar interferometry and GPS before and after the eruption in 2006. ERS-1/2, RADARSAT-1 and ENVISAT SAR data were used for the study. Multiple interferograms were stacked to reduce artifacts caused by different atmospheric conditions. Least square (LS) method was used to reduce atmospheric artifacts. Singular value decomposition (SVD) method was applied for retrieval of time sequential deformations. The observed surface displacements from satellite radar interferometry were compared with GPS data. Satellite radar interferometry helps to understand the surface displacements system of Augustine volcano.

This study a imed to analyze the effect of combined optical and radar image for the land cover classification in coastal region. The study area, Gyeonggi Bay area has one of the largest tidal ranges and has frequent land cover changes due to the several reclamations and rather intensive land uses. Ten land cover types were classified using several datasets of combining Landsat ETM+ and RADARSAT imagery. The synergic effects of the merged datasets were analyzed by both visual interpretation and an ordinary supervised classification. The merged optical and SAR datasets provided better discrimination among the land cover classes in the coastal area. The overall classification accuracy of merged datasets was improved to 86.5% as compared to 78% accuracy of using ETM+ only.

Since the change in Doppler centroid according to moving targets brings alteration to the phase in azimuth differential signals of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, one can measure the velocity of the moving targets using this effect. In this study, we will investigate theoretically measuring the velocity of an object from azimuth differential signals by using range compressed data which is the interim outcome of treatment from the simulated SAR raw data of moving targets on the background of sea clutter. Also, it will provide evaluation for the elements that affect the estimation error of velocity from a single SAR sensor. By making RADARSAT-1 simulated image as a specific case, the research includes comparisons for the means of velocity measurement classified by the directions of movement in the four following cases. 1. A case of a single target without currents, 2. A case of a single target with tidal currents of 0.5 m/s, 1 m/s, and 3 m/s, 3. A case of two targets on a same azimuth line moving in a same direction and velocity, 4. A case of a single target contiguous to land where radar backscatter is strong. As a result, when two moving targets exist in SAR image outside the range of approximately 256 pixels, the velocity of the object can be measured with high accuracy. However, when other moving targets exist in the range of approximately 128 pixels or when the target was contiguous to the land of strong backscatter coefficient (NRCS: normalized radar cross section), the estimated velocity was in error by 10% at the maximum. This is because in the process of assuming the target's location, an error occurs due to the differential signals affected by other scatterers.

Oil spills are a principal factor of the ocean pollution. The complicated problems involved in detecting oil spills are usually due to varying wind and sea surface condition such as ocean wave and current. The Hebei Spirit accident was happened in the west sea ($36^{\circ}$41'04" N, $126^{\circ}$03'12" E) near about 8 km distant from Tae-An, Korea on December 7, 2007. The aim of this work is to improve the detection and classification performance in order to define a more accurate training set and identifying the feature of oil spill region. This paper deals with an optimization technique for the detection and classification scheme using multi-frequency and multi-polarization SAR and optical image data sets of the oil spilled sea. The used image data are the ENVISAT ASAR WS and Radarsat-1 of C-band and ALOS PALSAR of L-band SAR data and KOMPSAT-2 optical images together with meteorological or oceanographic data. Both the theory and the experimental results obtained are discussed.

Radar remote sensing is appropriate for monitoring rice because the areas where this crop is cultivated are often cloudy and rainy. Especially, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can acquire remote sensing information with a high temporal resolution in tropical and subtropical regions due to its all-weather capability. This paper analyzes the relationships between backscattering coefficients of rice measured by RADARSAT-2 SAR and growth parameters during a rice growth period. We examined the temporal variations of backscattering coefficients with full polarization. Backscattering coefficients for all polarizations increased until Day Of Year (DOY 222) and then decreased along with Leaf Area Index (LAI), fresh weight, and Vegetation Water Content (VWC). Vertical transmit and Vertical receive polarization (VV)-polarization backscattering coefficients were higher than Horizontal transmit and Horizontal receive polarization (HH)-polarization backscattering coefficients in early rice growth stage and HH-polarization backscattering coefficients were higher than VV-polarization backscattering coefficients after effective tillering stage (DOY 186). Correlation analysis between backscattering coefficients and rice growth parameters revealed that HH-polarization was highly correlated with LAI, fresh weight, and VWC. Based on the observed relationships between backscattering coefficients and variables of cultivation, prediction equations were developed using the HH-polarization backscattering coefficients.

20세기 후반부터 유부도 주위에서 하구언 축조 등 비교적 큰 규모의 간척사업들이 진행되었다. 이러한 간척사업의 시작으로 인공구조물들이 연안에 축조됨에 따라 주변 해역의 해류, 조위 및 조류의 변화를 야기하여 퇴적 및 침식으로 인한 연안지형의 변화가 예상된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 유부도 조간대를 포함하는 Landsat TM/ETM+자료를 1998년부터 2012년까지 획득한 후 waterline 기법을 적용하여 인공구조물 축조에 의한 지형변화를 탐지하였다. 그 결과 유부도의 동쪽, 북동쪽, 서쪽 조간대에서 주로 퇴적이 일어났으며 그 면적이 약 4.5 $km^2$ 이상 되었다. 한편, RADARSAT-2의 완전편파 SAR자료에 Freeman-Durden decomposition을 적용하여 퇴적이 뚜렷이 일어난 지역에 대한 산란특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 동쪽 퇴적지역은 서쪽 및 북동쪽의 퇴적지역과는 다른 산란특징이 관찰되었으며, 이는 퇴적환경의 차이로 인해 다른 종류의 퇴적물이 퇴적되어 발생한 것으로 여겨진다.

라돈변환은 디지털 토모그라피. 원격탐사 영상의 선구조 분석, 탄성파탐사 자료의 경사중첩 등 다양한 분야에서의 디지털 영상자료 처리에 폭넓게 이용되어 왔다. 그러나 라돈변환의 2차원 콘볼류션이나 상관관계 계산은 푸리에변환과 비교해 볼 때 그 효용성에 대해서는 거의 논의되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 콘볼류션이나 상관관계 계산은 라돈공간에서 ρ에 대한 1차원 콘볼류션이나 상관관계로 타원이 낮아진다는 것을 유도하였다. 이를 이용하면 영상공간에서의 2차원 필터링을 라돈공간에서의 단순한 1타원 필터링으로 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 FIR 필터를 이용한 라돈공간에 서의 1차원 필터링을 RADARSAT SAR 영상에서 선적에 의한 구조를 증강시키데 적용하였다. 적용결과 라돈변환을 이용한 2타원 필터링은 스펙클 잡음을 줄일 뿐만 아니라 효과적으로 선적에 의한 구조를 증강시키는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 라돈변환을 이용하는 2차원 필터링은 푸리에변환을 이용하는 방법에 비하여 효율성과 효과도가 떨어져 단순한 필터링 목적으로는 적합치 못하나, 토모그라피나 SAR 영상을 이용하여 선구조 분석을 실시하는 경우와 같이 라돈변환이 필수적으로 적용되는 경우 라돈공간에서의 2차원 필터링을 부수적으로 적용하면 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.
