Spatial database system provides many query types and most of them are required frequent disk I/O and much CPU time. k-NN search is to find k-th closest object from the query point and up to now, several k-NN search methods have been proposed. Among these, MINMAX distance method has an aim not to visit unnecessary node by applying pruning technique. But this method access more disk than necessary while pruning unnecessary node. In this paper, we propose new k-NN search algorithm based on density of object. With this method, we predict the radius to be expected to contain k-NN object using density of data set and search those objects within this radius and then adjust radius if failed. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the previous MINMAX distance method. This algorithm visit fewer disks than MINMAX method by the factor of maximum $22\%\;and\;average\;6\%.$

In this study, the digital image processing with image enhancement based on homomorphic filtering was performed using geophysical imaging data such as gravity, magnetic data and sub-scenes of satellite images such as LANDSAT, IKONOS, and KOMPSAT. Windows application program for executing homomorphic filtering was designed and newly implemented. In general, homomorphic filtering is technique that is based on Fourier transform, which enhances the contrast of image by removing the low frequencies and amplifying the high frequencies in frequency domain. We can enhance the image selectively using homomorphic filtering as compared with the existing method, which enhance the image totally. Through several experiment using remotely sensed imagery and geophysical image with this program, it is concluded that homomorphic filtering is more effective to reveal distinct characteristics for some complicated and multi-associated features on image data.

Object-based segmentation is the first essential step for image processing applications. Recently, SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) segmentation techniques have been developed, however not enough to preserve the significant information contained in the small regions of the images. The proposed method is to partition an SAR image into homogeneous regions by using a fuzzy hit-or-miss operator with an inherent spatial transformation, which endows to preserve the small regions. In our algorithm, an iterative segmentation technique is formulated as a consequential process. Then, each time in iterating, hypothesis testing is used to evaluate the quality of the segmented regions with a homogeneity index. The segmentation algorithm is unsupervised and employed few parameters, most of which can be calculated from the input data. This comparative study indicates that the new iterative segmentation algorithm provides acceptable results as seen in the tested examples of satellite images.

최근 GIS를 비롯한 공간정보기술의 눈부신 발전으로 국토전반에 대한 정보화와 과학적인 관리기법이 확산되고 있다. 이에 효율적인 산림관리를 위하여 위성영상과 지리정보시스템을 이용한 산림정보가 구축되고 있으나, 산림지역이라는 지리특성상 현장 출입이 제한적이고 위험하여 정보수집에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 산림정보구축을 위하여 남제주군을 대상으로 고해상도 위성영상과 공간정보추출언어인 SML(Spatial Modeler Language)을 이용하여 다양한 모델별 산림지역의 임상정보를 추출, 임상분류를 위한 모델링 기법을 개발하였다. 또한 l/5,000도엽을 기준으로 표본점을 배치하고 임상, 하층식생, 입지 및 토양에 대한 현지조사를 수행하였으며, 추출자료와의 상관성 분석 및 검증을 통하여 공간정보 기술을 이용한 산림정보 구축의 기반을 마련하고자 하였다.

Remotely sensed data have been utilized efficiently for damage detection immediately after the natural disaster since they provide valuable information on land cover change due to spatial synchronization and multitemporal observation over large areas. Damage information obtained at an early stage is important for rapid emergency response and recovery works. Many useful techniques to analyze the characteristics of the pre- and post-event satellite images in large-scale damage detection have been successfully investigated for emergency management. Since high-resolution satellite images provide a wealth of information on damage occurred in urban areas, they are successfully utilized for damage detection in urban areas. In this research, a method to perform automated damage detection is proposed based on the differences of the textural characteristics in pre- and post- high resolution satellite images.

The technique of the information communication are advanced recently and a performance enhance of a hand carried computing device was developed rapidly. Mobile Communication Carrier developed currently the phone navigation and are carrying out the service. But such service localizes at the vehicle movement. In This paper, we explain a system structure for the pedestrian navigation of the Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability(WIPI) mobile phone which contains the MS-Based Global Positioning System(GPS) internally. And we verified the result to be developed by this method that proposes.

The aim of this study was to detect landslide using satellite image and apply the landslide to probabilistic landslide-susceptibility mapping at Gangneung area, Korea using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Landslide locations were identified by change detection technique of KOMSAT-1 (Korea Multipurpose Satellite) EOC (Electro Optical Camera) images and checked in field. For landslide-susceptibility mapping, maps of the topography, geology, soil, forest, lineaments, and land cover were constructed from the spatial data sets. Then, the sixteen factors that influence landslide occurrence were extracted from the database. Using the factors and detected landslide, the relationships were calculated using frequency ratio, one of the probabilistic model. Then, landslide-susceptibility map was drawn using the frequency ration and finally, the map was verified by comparing with existing landslide locations. As the verification result, the prediction accuracy showed 86.76%. The landslide-susceptibility map can be used to reduce hazards associated with landslides and to land cover planning.

Differential interferometric phases from JERS-1 L­band data sets show spatial variation of path-length ranging from a few mm to several cm. The variation may be caused by changes in soil moisture contents, i.e. variation of penetration depth and the swelling of soils. Although the amount of total effect caused by soil moisture is not measurable, it is clear that the soil moisture according to precipitation is another factor to be considered in DInSAR analysis. We also discuss DInSAR characteristics in a rice paddy according to irrigation conditions, and discrimination of hydrological features such as stream channels and watershed boundaries by applying DInSAR technique.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the temporal land cover change by gradual urbanization of Gyeongan-cheon watershed. This study used the five land use of Landsat TM satellite images(l987, 1991, 2001, 2004) which were classified by maximum likelihood method. The five land use maps examine its accuracy by error matrix and administrative district statistics. This study analyze land use patterns in the past using time.series Landsat satellite images, and predict 2004 year land use using a CA-Markov combined CA(Cellular Automata) and Markov process, and examine its appropriateness. Finally, predict 2030, 2060 year land use maps by CA-Markov model were constructed from the classified images.

KOMPSAT-2 고해상도 위성영상이 제공됨에 따라, 국내에서도 고해상도 위성영상을 활용한 다양한 연구 및 활용 사례가 증대되고 있다. KOMPSAT-2는 높은 공간해상도의 흑백영상과 멀티스펙트럴 영상을 동시에 제공하고 있는데, 개체 추출 및 고해상도의 토지 피복도 생성, 영상의 시각화를 위한 고해상도 멀티스펙트럴 영상 취득이 주요한 실정이다. 따라서 서로 다른 공간, 분광해 상도를 가지는 센서 자료를 이용하여 두 개의 장점을 모두 가지는 영상으로 재구성하는 영상융합은 원격탐사분야에서 중요한 연구분야이다. 이를 위해 다양한 영상융합기법이 연구되었지만, 대부분의 알고리즘들이 융합 후에 원 멀티스펙트럴 영상의 분광정보를 왜곡시키는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 영상 유도기법을 이용하여 융합영상의 분광정보를 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 원 멀티스펙트럴 영상과 해상도를 낮춘 융합영상과의 비교 분석을 통하여 융합영상의 공간해상도 왜곡은 최소한으로 줄이고 왜곡된 분광정보를 최대한 보정하였다. 다양한 알고리즘을 통해 얻은 KOMPSAT-2 융합 영상에 본 알고리즘을 적용한 결과, 분광정보 왜곡량이 기존의 융합결과에 비해 줄어든 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과는 다양한 응용분야에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
