  • 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.

  • 근년 일본, 캐나다, 호주, 미국, EU(주로 노르웨이, 영국) 등에서 인공위성을 이용한 해양 안전의 확보를 위한 연구개발이 진행되고 있으며, 일부 실해역 적용의 분야도 도출되고 있는 실정이다. 9.11테러 이후, 국제해사기구에서도 해상보안의 문제는 주요 이슈로 대두되어, 해상보안에의 활용 기술 개발이 먼저 시작되었다. 그 외, 밀입국 선박 감시 덴 해양오염 모니터링이 주요 활용분야이다. 간단하게 요약하면 다음과 같다. -노르웨이: Norwegian Defence Hesearch Establishment(NDRE)에서 주도적으로 선박 탐지 실험 및 기술 개발을 실시. 주로, ESA의 위성을 활용. 국가 보안의 목적으로는 적용을 하고 있음. -캐나다: 캐나다에서 소유하고 있는 RADARSAT을 이용하여 가장 많은 실험을 실시함. 영상을 처리하고 결과에 대한 평가를 수행하기 위한 시스템(Ocean Monitoring Workstation, OSM)을 개발하여 보급에 주력. -호주: 주로 캐나다의 위성 및 시스템의 적용을 하고 있음 영해 및 환경 감시의 역할을 수행. Coastwatch조직을 만들어 해상 감시활동을 하고 있음. -영국: 데이터 취득 후, 2.5시간 이내에 선박의 위치를 전송하는 인터페이스를 개발함. 일본의 경우, 다른 선진국에 비해서는 다소 늦게 시작되었다. 2003년 발간된 '재해 등에 대응한 인공위성이용기술에 관한 종합보고서'를 시작으로 정보수집위성 4기 및 지구관측위성을 이용한 해양 감시 활동이 시작되었다. 또한, 제 3기 과학기술기본계획(2006-2012)내에 해양 불법침입 탐지 기술 개발 항목이 반영되어 있다. 유럽의 해상보안서비스(MARISS)의 사용자 워크숍이 ESA ESRIN(이탈리아 프라스카티)에서 2008년 1월 22일 열렸다. 실질적인 내용은, '해상보안을 위한 우주 시스템'에 관한 것으로 인공위성 이용하는데 있어 설계안 및 데이터 이용 컨셉을 제시하는 것이었다. 여기서 중요한 것은 국가간의 협력이 절대적으로 필요하며, 기존의 시스템과의 통합에 있어 신뢰성을 어떻게 확보하는가에 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 보안과 환경모니터링의 기능이 분리되어 진행되고 있는 부분에 대한 정보 통합 방향도 제기되었다. 국내에서도 AIS와 SAR정보의 결합에 관한 검토는 이루어졌으며, 이를 바탕으로 EU와 같은 시스템의 구축(조직과 연구개발)을 위한 실질적인 검토가 필요하다.

  • Every year, several typhoons hit the Korean peninsula and cause severe damage. For the prevention and accurate estimation of these damages, real time or almost real time flood information is essential. Because of weather conditions, images taken by optic sensors or LIDAR are sometimes not appropriate for an accurate estimation of water areas during typhoon. In this case SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images which are independent of weather condition can be useful for the estimation of flood areas. To get detailed information about floods from satellite imagery, accurate classification of water areas is the most important step. A commonly- and widely-used classification methods is the ML(Maximum Likelihood) method which assumes that the distribution of brightness values of the images follows a Gaussian distribution. The distribution of brightness values of the SAR image, however, usually does not follow a Gaussian distribution. For this reason, in this study the ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) method independent of the statistical characteristics of images is applied to the SAR imagery. RADARS A TSAR images are primarily used for extraction of water areas, and DEM (Digital Elevation Model) is used as supplementary data to evaluate the ground undulation effect. Water areas are also extracted from KOMPSAT image achieved by optic sensors for comparison purpose. Both ANN and ML methods are applied to flat and mountainous areas to extract water areas. The estimated areas from satellite imagery are compared with those of manually extracted results. As a result, the ANN classifier performs better than the ML method when only the SAR image was used as input data, except for mountainous areas. When DEM was used as supplementary data for classification of SAR images, there was a 5.64% accuracy improvement for mountainous area, and a similar result of 0.24% accuracy improvement for flat areas using artificial neural networks.

  • 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.

  • 지금까지 토지피복 분류에 다중파장의 광학센서로 취득된 위성영상만을 적용하는 것이 일반적이었다. 그러나, 현재 다양한 영상센서들이 존재하고 그 획득기회가 증가함에 따라 동일지역에 대하여 여러 영상들을 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 SAR 센서의 경우에는 광학센서로는 탐지가 불가능한 지표특성에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 기상의 영향을 적게 받는다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SAR 영상을 기존의 SPOT XS 영상에 적용하여 토지피복분류에 이용함으로써 그 결과를 비교 평가하여 보았다. SAR 강도 영상으로부터 여러 가지 크기의 창을 적용한 질감 정보를 추출하여 연구에 적용하였으며, 그 결과 SPOT 영상만을 이용하여 분류한 경우보다 SAR 정보를 이용하여 분류한 결과가 미소한 차이로 증가하였으며, 특히 도시지역의 경우에는 좀 더 높은 정확도를 나타내었다. 분류결과는 전체정착도로는 그 차이가 미미하였으나 시각적으로나 공간적인 분포의 측면에서 눈에 띄게 달라졌음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Numerous water disasters have recently occurred all over the world, including South Korea, due to global climate change in recent years. As water-related disasters occur extensively and their sites are difficult for people to access, it is necessary to monitor them using satellites. The Ministry of Environment and K-water plan to launch the next-generation medium satellite No. 5 (water resource/water disaster satellite) equipped with C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in 2025. C-band SAR has the advantage of being able to observe water resources twice a day at a high resolution both day and night, regardless of weather conditions. Currently, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 equipped with C-band SAR achieve the purpose of their launch and are used in various environmental fields such as forest structure detection and coastline change monitoring, as well as for unique purposes including the detection of flooding, drought and soil moisture change, utilizing the advantages of SAR. As such, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the next-generation medium satellite No. 5 and its application in environmental fields. Our findings showed that it can be used to improve the degree of precision of existing environmental spatial information such as the classification accuracy of land cover map in environmental field works. It also enables us to observe forests and water resources in North Korea that are difficult to access geographically. It is ultimately expected that this will enable the monitoring of the whole Korean Peninsula in various environmental fields, and help in relevant responses and policy supports.

  • Space-borne Earth observation technique is one of the most cost effective and rapidly advancing Earth science research tools today and the potential field and micro-wave radar applications have been leading the discipline. The traditional optical imaging systems including the well known Landsat, NOAA - AVHRR, SPOT, and IKONOS have steadily improved spatial imaging resolution but increasing cloud covers have the major deterrent. The new Earth observation satellites ENVISAT (launched on March 1 2002, specifically for Earth environment observation), ALOS (planned for launching in 2004 - 2005 period and ALOS stands for Advanced Land Observation Satellite), and RADARSAT-II (planned for launching in 2005) all have synthetic aperture radar (SAR) onboard, which all have partial or fully polarimetric imaging capabilities. These new types of polarimetric imaging radars with repeat orbit interferometric capabilities are opening up completely new possibilities in Earth system science research, in addition to the radar altimeter and scatterometer. The main advantage of a SAR system is the all weather imaging capability without Sun light and the newly developed interferometric capabilities, utilizing the phase information in SAR data further extends the observation capabilities of directional surface covers and neotectonic surface displacements. In addition, if one can utilize the newly available multiple frequency polarimetric information, the new generation of space-borne SAR systems is the future research tool for Earth observation and global environmental change monitoring. The potential field strength decreases as a function of the inverse square of the distance between the source and the observation point and geophysicists have traditionally been reluctant to make the potential field observation from any space-borne platforms. However, there have recently been a number of potential field missions such as ASTRID-2, Orsted, CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE. Of course these satellite sensors are most effective for low spatial resolution applications. For similar objects, AMPERE and NPOESS are being planned by the United States and France. The Earth science disciplines which utilize space-borne platforms most are the astronomy and atmospheric science. However in this talk we will focus our discussion on the solid Earth and physical oceanographic applications. The geodynamic applications actively being investigated from various space-borne platforms geological mapping, earthquake and volcano .elated tectonic deformation, generation of p.ecise digital elevation model (DEM), development of multi-temporal differential cross-track SAR interferometry, sea surface wind measurement, tidal flat geomorphology, sea surface wave dynamics, internal waves and high latitude cryogenics including sea ice problems.
