In this paper, a wireless sensing system for structural field evaluation and rating of bridges is presented. The system uses a wireless platform integrated with traditional analogue sensors including strain gages and accelerometers along with the operating software. A wireless vehicle position indicator is developed using a tri-axial accelerometer node that is mounted on the test vehicle, and was used for identifying the moving truck position during load testing. The developed software is capable of calculating the theoretical bridge rating factors based on AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Rating specifications, and automatically produces the field adjustment factor through load testing data. The sensing system along with its application in bridge deck rating was successfully demonstrated on the Evansville Bridge in West Virginia. A finite element model was conducted for the test bridge, and was used to calculate the load distribution factors of the bridge deck after verifying its results using field data. A confirmation field test was conducted on the same bridge and its results varied by only 3% from the first test. The proposed wireless sensing system proved to be a reliable tool that overcomes multiple drawbacks of conventional wired sensing platforms designed for structural load evaluation of bridges.

In WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) environment, a large amount of sensors, which are small and heterogeneous, generates data stream successively in physical space. These sensors are composed of measured data and metadata. Metadata includes various features such as location, sampling time, measurement unit, and their types. Until now, wireless sensors have been managed with individual specification, not the explicit standardization of metadata, so it is difficult to collect and communicate between heterogeneous sensors. To solve this problem, OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium) has proposed a SensorML(Sensor Model Language) which can manage metadata of heterogeneous sensors with unique format. In this paper, we introduce a metadata model using SensorML specification to manage various sensors, which are distributed in a wide scope. In addition, we implement the metadata management module applied to the sensor data stream management system. We provide many functions, namely generating metadata file, registering and storing them according to definition of SensorML.

This article describes the useful way to measure the torque and RPM of the geared motor. For this we have made the planetary geared reduction motor including 2 Hall sensors in it and the monitoring system. The monitoring system displays the sensing values (torque, rpm) and the calculated value (power) and it also has the network capability using the Bluetooth protocol. We will show that our solution is much more inexpensive and simple method to measure torque and rpm than before.

드론 매핑 시스템은 재난 피해 조사, 국토 환경 모니터링, 건설 공정 모니터링 등 여러 분야에 응용 가능하다. 드론에 장착된 다양한 개별 센서를 통합하여 활용하려면 시간동기화 등 여러가지 절차가 필요했다. 최근, 영상 센서와 GPS/INS가 함께 내장된 복합센서가 다수 출시되었다. 복합센서는 여러 가지 센서 데이터를 내부적으로 통합하여, 위치/자세를 영상 파일에 바로 태깅하여 제공한다. 이러한 복합센서를 드론 매핑 시스템에 활용하려면 매핑 정확도를 확인해 볼 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 데이터 취득 환경과 사전 캘리브레이션 여부를 중심으로 복합센서의 매핑 정확도를 확인하였다. 첫째, 매핑 정확도가 지상기준점의 개수에 따라 어떻게 변하는지 살펴보았다. 지상기준점 개수가 2개일 때부터 총 RMSE가 1 m 이상에서 약 60 cm로 40 cm가량 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 데이터 취득 상황과 사전 캘리브레이션 여부에 따른 매핑 정확도를 확인하였다. 지상기준점이 있는 경우에는 개수가 적을지라도 사전 캘리브레이션의 영향이 크지 않은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 영상의 중복도가 충분하지 않을 때는 사전 캘리브레이션 하는 것이 정확도 개선에 영향을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 지상기준점이 없는 경우에는 카메라, 탑재체 모두 사전 캘리브레이션 하는 것이 정확도를 개선시키는데 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 기반으로, 향후 복합센서를 이용한 드론 매핑 수행 시 데이터 취득 조건에 따라 지상기준점 측량과 캘리브레이션 과정을 효율화 하는데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

갯벌 표면에는 저서성 미세조류의 생체량이 높고, 그에 따라 높은 일차생산을 나타낸다. 갯벌의 탄소순환 및 유기탄소 부존량을 추산하기 위한 일차생산력 측정 연구가 기존에 진행되어 왔지만, 최근에는 광학 원격탐사, 특히 초분광센서를 이용하는 연구는 비교적 최근에 시도되기 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 지상에서 관측된 초분광자료를 통하여 생산성 추정의 기초자료가 되는 갯벌 표면의 엽록소 농도를 추정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 대상지는 충청남도 태안군에 위치한 근소만이며, 현장조사는 2021년 4월과 6월 간조시에 수행하였다. 갯벌 표면의 초분광반사도를 얻기 위하여 지향형 센서인 TriOS RAMSES와 카메라 형태의 Specim-IQ, 두 종류의 초분광센서를 사용하였고, 광학관측자료를 통해 갯벌 표면의 엽록소-a 농도를 추정하기 위해 정규식생지수(NDVI)와 Continuum Removal Depth(CRD)기법을 사용하였다. 현장조사시 시료분석을 통해 측정한 엽록소-a 농도와의 비교 결과, 두 기법 모두 엽록소-a 농도 약 0~150 mg/m²의 범위에 대해 추정 결정계수 약 0.7을 달성할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Ocean color remote sensing community currently uses the different solar irradiance spectra covering the visible and near-infrared in the calibration/validation and deriving products of ocean color instruments. These spectra derived from single and / or multiple measurements sets or models have significant discrepancies, primarily due to variation of the solar activity and uncertainties in the measurements from various instruments and their different calibration standards. Thus, it is prudent to examine model-to-model differences and select a standard reference spectrum that can be adopted in the future calibration and validation processes, particularly of the first Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard its Communication Ocean and Meterological Satellite (COMS) planned to be launched in 2008. From an exhaustive survey that reveals a variety of solar spectra in the literature, only eight spectra are considered here seeing as reference in many remote sensing applications. Several criteria are designed to define the reference spectrum: i.e., minimum spectral range of 350-1200nm, based completely or mostly on direct measurements, possible update of data and less errors. A careful analysis of these spectra reveals that the Thuillier 2004 spectrum seems to be very identical compared to other spectra, primarily because it represents very high spectral resolution and the current state of the art in solar irradiance spectra of exceptionally low uncertainty ${\sim}0.1%.$ This study also suggests use of the Gueymard 2004 spectrum as an alternative for applications of multispectral/multipurpose satellite sensors covering the terrestrial regions of interest, where it provides spectral converge beyond 2400nm of the Thuillier 2004 spectrum. Since the solar-activity induced spectral variation is about less than 0.1% and a large portion of this variability occurs particularly in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is the region of less interest for the ocean color community, we disregard considering this variability in the analysis of solar irradiance spectra, although determine the solar constant 1366.1 $Wm^{-2}$ to be proposed for an improved approximation of the extraterrestrial solar spectrum in the visible and NIR region.

Drone-mounted hyperspectral sensors (DHSs) have revolutionized remote sensing in agriculture by offering a cost-effective and flexible platform for high-resolution spectral data acquisition. Their ability to capture data at low altitudes minimizes atmospheric interference, enhancing their utility in agricultural monitoring and management. This study focused on addressing the challenges of radiometric and geometric distortions in preprocessing drone-acquired hyperspectral data. Radiometric correction, using the empirical line method (ELM) and spectral reference panels, effectively removed sensor noise and variations in solar irradiance, resulting in accurate surface reflectance values. Notably, the ELM correction improved reflectance for measured reference panels by 5-55%, resulting in a more uniform spectral profile across wavelengths, further validated by high correlations (0.97-0.99), despite minor deviations observed at specific wavelengths for some reflectors. Geometric correction, utilizing a rubber sheet transformation with ground control points, successfully rectified distortions caused by sensor orientation and flight path variations, ensuring accurate spatial representation within the image. The effectiveness of geometric correction was assessed using root mean square error(RMSE) analysis, revealing minimal errors in both east-west(0.00 to 0.081 m) and north-south directions(0.00 to 0.076 m).The overall position RMSE of 0.031 meters across 100 points demonstrates high geometric accuracy, exceeding industry standards. Additionally, image mosaicking was performed to create a comprehensive representation of the study area. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied preprocessing techniques and highlight the potential of DHSs for precise crop health monitoring and management in smart agriculture. However, further research is needed to address challenges related to data dimensionality, sensor calibration, and reference data availability, as well as exploring alternative correction methods and evaluating their performance in diverse environmental conditions to enhance the robustness and applicability of hyperspectral data processing in agriculture.

Satellite remote sensing technology for ocean observation has evolved considerably in these last twenty years. Ocean color is one of the most important parameters of ocean satellite measurements. This paper describes a remote sensing of ocean color data project - Asian I-Lac Project; it also introduces several case studies using satellite images in the Asian waters. The Asian waters are related to about 30 Asian countries, representing about 60% of the world population. The project aims at generating long-term time series images (planned for 10 years from 1996 to 2006) by combining several ocean color satellite data, i.e., ADEOS-I OCTS and SeaWiFS, and some other sensors. Some typical parameters that could be measured include Chlorophyll- a (Chl-a), Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), and Suspended Material (SSM). Reprocessed OCTS images display spatial variation of Chl-a, CDOM, and SSM in the Asian waters; a short term variability of phytoplankton blooms was observed in the Gulf of Oman in November 1996 by analyzing OCTS and NOAA sea surface temperature (SST)； Chl-a concentrations derived from OCTS and SeaWiFS have also been evaluated in coastal areas of the Taiwan Strait, the Gulf of Thailand, the northeast Arabian Sea, and the Japan Sea. The data system provides scientists with capability of testing or developing ocean color algorithms, and transferring images for their research. We have also analyzed availability of OCTS images. The results demonstrate the potential of long-term time series of satellite ocean color data for research in marine biology, and ocean studies. The case studies show multiple applications of satellite images on monitoring of coastal environments in the Asian Waters.
