Microwave remote sensing is probably the most recent experimental technique suitable to the non-contact measurement of deflections on large structures, in static or dynamic conditions. In the first part of the paper, the main techniques adopted in microwave remote sensing are described, so that advantages and potential issues of these techniques are presented and discussed. Subsequently, the paper addresses the application of the radar technology to the measurement of the vibration response on the stay cables of two cable-stayed bridges. The dynamic tests were performed in operational conditions (i.e. with the excitation being mainly provided by micro-tremors, wind and traffic) and the maximum deflections of the cables were generally lower than 5.0 mm. The investigation clearly highlights: (a) the safe and simple use of the radar on site and its effectiveness to simultaneously measure the dynamic response of all the stay cables of an array; (b) the negligible effects of the typical issues and uncertainties that might affect the radar measurements; (c) the accuracy of the results provided by the microwave remote sensing in terms of natural frequencies and tension forces of the stay cables; (d) the suitability of microwave interferometry to the repeated application within Structural Health Monitoring programmes.

In this paper the advanced method of geodesic active contours was developed for the task of building detection from aerial and satellite images. Automatic extraction of man-made structures including buildings, building blocks or roads from remote sensing data is useful for land use mapping, scene understanding, robotic navigation, image retrieval, surveillance, emergency management procedures, cadastral etc. A level set method based on a region-driven segmentation model was implemented with which building boundaries were detected, through this curve propagation technique. The essence of this approach is to optimize the position and the geometric form of the curve by measuring information along that curve, and within the regions that compose the image partition. To this end, one can consider uniform intensities inside objects and the background. Thus, given an initial position of the curve, one can determine global, region-driven functions and provide a statistical description of the inside and outside object area. The calculus of variations and a gradient descent method was used to optimize the variational functional by an iterative steady state process. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed processing scheme.

Radio occultation (RO) technique has been used in planetary science since 1960s. When signal goes through atmosphere, it is refracted due to the gradient of atmospheric refractivity. In 1995, the first low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, MicroLab-1, was launched to conduct RO mission. It receives the signal from global positioning system (GPS) satellites. After MicroLab-1, other RO missions, such as CHAMP, SAC-C, and GRACE, are executed in several years later. In 2006, Taiwan launched six LEO satellites for RO mission. The mission name is Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC). Under some abnormal situations, multipath and strong fluctuation in phase and amplitude of the signal appear in moist troposphere. Therefore, open loop (OL) technique has been applied to replace traditional phase lock loop (PLL) technique. In this paper, we will summarize the retrieval processing procedure and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of OL technique.

This paper presents the method to provide a fast service for user in image manipulation such as zooming and panning of huge size high resolution satellite image(e.g. Giga bytes per scene). The proposed technique is based on the hierarchical structure that has 3D-Tiling in horizontal and vertical direction to provide the image service more effectively than 2D-Tiling technique in the past does. The essence of the proposed technique is to create tiles of optimum level in real time on the basis of current displaying area, which change as user manipulates huge image. Consequently, this technique provides seamless service, and will be very powerful and useful for manipulation of images of huge size without data conversion.

A new polarimetric SAR image classification technique based on the degree of polarization (DoP) and the co-polarized phase-difference (CPD) is presented in this paper. Since the DoP and the CPD of a scattered wave provide information on the randomness of the scattering and the type of scattering mechanisms, at first, the statistics of the DoP and CPD are examined with measured polarimetric SAR image data. Then, a DoP-CPD diagram with appropriate boundaries between six different classes is developed based on the SAR image. The classification technique is verified using the JPL AirSAR and ALOS PALSAR polarimetric data. The technique may have capability to classify an SAR image into six major classes; a bare surface, a village, a crown-layer short vegetation canopy, a trunk-layer short vegetation canopy, a crown-layer forest, and a trunk-dominated forest.

In this study, plastic detection technique was developed, applying remote sensing technology as a method to extract plastic wastes, which is one of the big causes of concern contributing to environmental destruction. It is possible to extract areas where plastic (including polypropylene and polyethylene) wastes are prominent, using ASTER data by taking advantage of its absorptive characteristics of ASTER/SWIR bands. The algorithm is applicable to define large industrial wastes disposal sites and areas where plastic greenhouses are concentrated. However, the detection technique with ASTER/SWIR data has some research tasks to be tackled, which includes a partial secretion of reference spectral, depending on some conditions of plastic wastes and a detection error in a region mixed with vegetations and waters. Following results were obtained after making comparisons between several detection methods and plastic wastes in different conditions; (a)'spectral extraction method' was suitable for areas where plastic wastes exist separated from other objects, such as coastal areas where plastic wastes drifted ashore. (single plastic spectral was used as a reference for the 'spectral extraction method') (b)On the other hand, the 'spectral extraction method' was not suitable for sites where plastic wastes are mixed with vegetation and soil. After making comparison of the processing results of a mixed area, it was found that applying both 'separation method' using un-mixing and ‘spectral extraction method’ with NDVI masked is the most appropriate method to extract plastic wastes. Also, we have investigated the possibility of reducing the influence of vegetation and water, using ASTER/TIR, and successfully extracted some places with plastics. As a conclusion, we have summarized the relationship between detection techniques and conditions of plastic wastes and propose the practical application of remote sensing technology to the extraction of plastic wastes.

본 연구는 연안기상 정보를 효율적으로 이용하여 사전에 적조를 예찰하고 실용화하여 적조로부터의 재해를 저감하는데 있다. 이러한 적조예찰을 위해서는 기본적으로 우리나라 주변 해역의 적조발생에 관여하는 기상 및 해양인자들의 환경학적 특성을 파악하고 이들의 상관성으로부터 적조발생 가능성을 예측하는 정보를 제공하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 또한 이러한 정보를 공공의 활용에 쉽게 이용될 수 있게끔 정보시스템을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 앞으로 본 연구의 결과는 이 분야에 관련되는 학계, 공공기관, 업계의 종사자들에게 유용한 정보로 활용될 것으로 기대되며 그리고 매년 연례행사처럼 국가적으로 문제시 되고 있는 우리나라 주변해역의 적조피해를 줄이는데 실질적으로 기여할 것이다.

인공위성 또는 항공기에서 사용되는 원격탐사용 센서는 지구 대기를 통과하는 전자기파를 측정하므로, 지구 대기에 의하여 흡수 또는 산란되는 과정에서 지표면의 정보가 영향을 받게 된다. 인공위성은 탑재센서의 사용목적에 따라 파장범위, 해상도가 다르지만, 공통적으로 지구 표면의 대상의 분광신호를 정확히 측정하기 위하여 대기에 의한 영향을 제거해야 하는 대기보정이 이루어져야 한다. 대기보정의 목적은 원격탐사 영상에서 대기 효과를 제거하여 지표면 반사도 값을 결정하고 지표면의 물리적 매개 변수를 도출하는 것이다. 현재까지 개발된 대기보정 알고리즘은 영상기반의 경험적인 방법 또는 현지 관측 자료를 이용한 간접적인 보정 방법에서 보다 복잡한 복사전달과정을 수치해석적으로 해석하는 직접적인 보정 방법으로 발전해 왔다. 본 연구는 지난 40여년 동안 개발된 대기보정 알고리즘에 대한 연구 기록을 분석함으로써, 대기보정 기술의 현황 및 주요 대기보정 알고리즘에 대한 연구 결과를 체계적으로 정립하여 관련 기술의 현황 및 연구동향을 제시하였다.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a remote sensing technique capable of measuring ground surface deformation with sub-centimeter precision and spatial resolution in tens-of-meters over a large region. This paper highlights our on-going investigations of Aleutian volcanoes with SAR images acquired from European ERS-1 and ERS-2, Canadian Radarsat-l, and Japanese JERS-l satellites.
