Since variance of noise is important parameter for a noise filter to reduce noise in image and the performance of noise filter is dependent on estimated variance. In this paper, we apply additive noise variance estimation method to estimate variance of speckle noise of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. Generally, speckle noise is in multiplicative model, logarithmic transformation is then used to transform multiplicative model into additive model. Here, speckle noise is generally modeled as Gamma distribution function with different looks. The additive noise variance estimation is processed in log domain. The synthesis image and real image of SAR are implemented to test and confirm results and show that more accurate estimation can be achieved.

Two different sensors (here, KOMPSAT and RADARSAT) are considered for ship detection, and are used to delineate the detection performance for their data. The experiments are set for coastal regions of Mokpo Port and Ulsan Port and field experiments on board pilot boat are conducted to collect in situ ship validation information such as ship type and length. This paper introduce mainly the experiment result of ship detection by both RADARSAT SAR imagery and landbased RADAR data, operated by the local Authority of South Korea, so called vessel traffic system (VTS) radar. Fine imagery of Ulsan Port was acquired on June 19, 2004 and in-situ data such as wind speed and direction, taking pictures of ships and natural features were obtained aboard a pilot ship. North winds, with a maximum speed of 3.1 m/s were recorded. Ship's position, size and shape and natural features of breakwaters, oil pipeline and alongside ship were compared using SAR and VTS. It is shown that KOMPSAT/EOC has a good performance in the detection of a moving ship at a speed of 7 kts or more an hour that ship and its wake can be imaged. The detection capability of RADARSAT doesn't matter how fast ship is running and depends on a ship itself, e.g. its material, length and type. Our results indicate that SAR can be applicable to automated ship detection for a VTS and SAR combination service.

Extraction of the coastal boundary is important because the boundary serves as a reference in the demarcation of maritime zones such as territorial sea, contiguous zone, and exclusive economic zone. Accurate nautical charts also depend on well established, accurate, consistent, and current coastline delineation. However, to identify the precise location of the coastal boundary is a difficult task due to tidal and wave motions. This paper presents an efficient way to extract coastlines by applying digital image processing techniques to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. Over the past few years, satellite-based SAR and high resolution airborne SAR images have become available, and SAR has been evaluated as a new mapping technology. Using remotely sensed data gives benefits in several aspects, especially SAR is largely unaffected by weather constraints, is operational at night time over a large area, and provides high contrast between water and land areas. Various image processing techniques including region growing, texture-based image segmentation, local entropy method, and refinement with image pyramid were implemented to extract the coastline in this study. Finally, the results were compared with existing coastline data derived from aerial photographs.

To assess the flood damages and to provide necessary information for preventing future catastrophe, it is necessary to appraise the inundated area with more accurate and rapid manner. This study attempts to evaluate the potential of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for mapping of flood inundated area in southern part of Korea. JERS L-band SAR data obtained during the summer of 1997 were used to delineate the inundated areas. In addition, Landsat TM data were also used for analyzing the land cover condition before the flooding. Once the two data sets were co-registered, each data was separately classified. The water surface areas extracted from the SAR data and the land cover map generated using the TM data were overlaid to determine the flood inundated areas. Although manual interpretation of water surfaces from the SAR image seems rather simple, the computer classification of water body requires clear understanding of radar backscattering behavior on the earth's surfaces. It was found that some surface features, such as rice fields, runaway, and tidal flat, have very similar radar backscatter to water surface. Even though satellite SAR data have a great advantage over optical remote sensor data for obtaining imagery on time and would provide valuable information to analyze flood, it should be cautious to separate the exact areas of flood inundation from the similar features.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상은 경사촬영을 수행하므로 지형의 기복에 따른 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서 SAR영상을 이용하여 여러 가지 정보들을 추출하여 이용하기 위해서는 전처리 과정으로서 지형의 기복에 따른 여러 가지 왜곡들을 보정해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RADARSAT SAR 영상을 이용하여 궤도모델링, 정사보정을 수행하고 역산란계수, 국부입사각 계산 등을 통해 지형기복에 따른 방사왜곡보정을 수행하였다.

SAR 센서는 마이크로파를 이용한 능동센서로 기상조건에 상관없이 영상을 취득할 수 있다는 장점이 있어, 국토관리 및 재해 모니터링 등에 활발히 활용되고 있다. 주기적으로 취득되는 SAR 영상을 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는 자동화된 영상 정합기법이 필요하지만 영상의 촬영 시간 및 기하에 따라 다른 양상의 기하조건을 가진 취득됨에 따라 충분한 정합 정확도를 기대하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기울기 속성을 추가한 MI (Mutual Information) 기법과 FMT (Fourier-Mellin Transform)기법, SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) 기법을 임의의 변위와 회전 공차를 적용하고, 해상도를 변화시킨 TerraSAR-X 영상에 적용하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 비교 결과, MI 기법의 경우엔 서로 상이한 기하에서 촬영된 영상에 적용하였을 때에도 일정 크기의 영상소가 다수 분포할 경우 0~2 픽셀 수준의 정확도를 지닐 수 있는 반면, FMT 기법의 경우에는 같은 사물에 대해서도 그 영상소 값이 서로 상이하여 정합 오차가 수십에서 수백 픽셀로 나타났다. 또한 SIFT 기법의 경우에도 영상 정합을 위한 공액점의 정확도가 0~17 % 수준으로 매우 낮아 서로 상이한 기하조건으로 취득된 SAR 영상에 적용이 어려울 것으로 나타났다.

SAR 데이터는 기상이나 일조량의 제약을 받지 않고 능동적으로 자료를 취득할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 지표면의 시계열 분석자료로서 활용성이 높고, 재해와 같은 돌발상황의 경우에 신속하게 자료를 취득할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 JERS-1 SAR 영상의 L-밴드 데이터로부터 InSAR 방법과 DInSAR 기법을 이용하여 DEM을 추출하고자 하였다. 축척 1:5000 수치 지형도에서 추출한 DEM을 표준 비교자료로 하여 SAR 영상으로부터 추출한 DEM의 정확도를 평가하고자 한다.

SAR 센서는 자체의 에너지원으로 영상을 취득하는 능동센서이며, 대기 중 투과효과가 매우 높으므로 기존의 광학센서로는 해결하지 못하였던 지역이나 상황의 분석에 그 가치가 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 SAR 센서에 의해 취득된 영상들을 이용하여 수치표고모형을 추출하는 기법들의 이론적인 연구와 실제적인 적용을 통하여 그 문제점과 활용 가능성을 평가하여 보았다. 비교평가에 사용한 자료는 수치지도의 등고선 자료를 이용하였으며, 추출된 수치표고모형과 평균제곱근오차를 계산함으로서 추출 정확도를 평가하였다 수치표고모형 추출에 이용된 기법은 기존의 광학 영상에 적용되어왔던 입체모델 형성을 통한 지형표고를 추출하는 기법과 레이다 간섭 효과를 통한 지형표고 추출 기법이었다. 본 논문의 결과를 토대로, 현재 한국내의 지형여건을 고려한다면 입체시 기법에 의한 DEM 추출이 가장 적절할 것이며 레이다 간섭을 이용한 DEM 추출은 시기적인 문제와 산림의 산란효과에 의한 비상관 문제가 해결되어야만 할 것으로 생각된다.

Lee(2007) suggested the Point-Jacobian iteration MAP estimation(PJIMAP) for noise removal of the images that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. It is to find a MAP estimation of noisy-free imagery based on a Bayesian model using the lognormal distribution for image intensity and an MRF for image texture. When the image intensity is logarithmically transformed, the speckle noise is approximately Gaussian additive noise, and it tends to a normal probability much faster than the intensity distribution. The MRF is incorporated into digital image analysis by viewing pixel types as states of molecules in a lattice-like physical system. In this study, the MAP estimation is computed by the Point-Jacobian iteration using adaptive parameters. At each iteration, the parameters related to the Bayesian model are adaptively estimated using the updated information. The results of the proposed scheme were compared to them of PJIMAP with SAR simulation data generated by the Monte Carlo method. The experiments demonstrated an improvement in relaxing speckle noise and estimating noise-free intensity by using the adaptive parameters for the Ponit-Jacobian iteration.
