Three main important sources for establishing GIS are the orthomap in scale 1:5 000 with Ground Sampling Distance of 0,5m; DEM/DTM data with height error of ${\pm}$1,0m and topographic map in scale 1: 10 000. The new era with Very High Resolution Satellite (VHRS) images as IKONOS, QuickBird, EROS, OrbView and other ones having Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) even lower than 1m has been in potential for producing orthomap in large scale 1:5 000, to update existing maps, to compile general-purpose or thematic maps and for GIS. The accuracy of orthomap generated from VHRS image affects strongly on GIS reliability. Nevertheless, orthomap accuracy taken from VHRS image is at first dependent on chosen sensor geometrical models. This paper presents, at fist, theoretical basic of the Rational Polynomial Coefficient (RPC) model installed in the commercial ImageStation Systems, realized for orthorectifying VHRS images. The RPC model of VHRS image is a replacement camera mode that represents the indirect relation between terrain and its image acquired on the flight orbit. At the end of this paper the practical accuracies of IKONOS and QuickBird image orthorectified by RPC model on Canadian PCI Geomatica System have been presented. They are important indication for practical application of producing digital orthomaps.

Land-use or land-cover classification of satellite images is one of the important tasks in remote sensing application and many researchers have tried to enhance classification accuracy. Previous studies have shown that the classification technique based on wavelet transform is more effective than traditional techniques based on original pixel values, especially in complicated imagery. Various basis functions such as Haar, daubechies, coiflets and symlets are mainly used in 20 image processing based on wavelet transform. Selecting adequate wavelet is very important because different results could be obtained according to the type of basis function in classification. However, it is not easy to choose the basis function which is effective to improve classification accuracy. In this study, we first computed the wavelet coefficients of satellite image using ten different basis functions, and then classified images. After evaluating classification results, we tried to ascertain which basis function is the most effective for image classification. We also tried to see if the optimum basis function is decided by energy parameter before classifying the image using all basis functions. The energy parameters of wavelet detail bands and overall accuracy are clearly correlated. The decision of optimum basis function using energy parameter in the wavelet based image classification is expected to be helpful for saving time and improving classification accuracy effectively.

In this paper, we will discuss techniques that can increase the resolution by 1.4 times without distortion or performance degradation of the original image, using diagonal information of the image. The applied method is to use the image information of 4 adjacent points without actual rotating the image by 45 degrees and enlarge and rearrange it according to the characteristics of the camera, so that the same physical concept as the actual 45 degrees can be applied. This is a concrete realization method that can improve the resolution by 1.4 times without deterioration of performance and a demonstration of this result.

Techniques for change detection using satellite images enable efficient detection of natural and artificial changes in use of land through multi-phase images. As for change detection, different results are made based on methods of calibration of satellite images, types of input data, and techniques in change analysis. Thus, an analytic technique that is appropriate to objectives of a study shall be applied as results are different based on diverse conditions even when an identical satellite and an identical image are used for change detection. In this study, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were conducted after geometric calibration of satellite images which went through absolute and relative radiometric calibrations and change detection analysis was conducted using Image Difference (ID) and Image Rationing (IR). As a result, ID-NDVI showed excellent accuracy in change detection related to vegetation. ID-PCA showed 90% of accuracy in all areas. IR-NDVI had 90% of accuracy while it was 70% and below as for paddies and dry fields${\rightarrow}$grassland. IR-PCA had excellent change detection over all areas.

Forest fire is due to difficulty in approaching the forest fire at the time of forest fire and quite a long of time required for post-fire investigation, accurate analysis of damages to the forest area caused by forest fire is difficult to obtain. Recently, In attempt to overcome such difficulty, many researches are using satellite images. Nevertheless, it is not easy for everyone to obtain the satellite image data, and additional researches in order to verify accuracy of such data are also required. Therefore, in this study for satellite image to about damages to the forest areas caused by forest fire using tile selected two data of spectral reflectance of the vegetation, gained by using a spectrometer. That is we wished to search about mistake that is apt to happen by one time eyesight observation by analyzing two datas that is used spectral radiometer 3 months and 6 months later and gets.

Nowadays the Rational Function Model (RFM), an abstract sensor model, is substituting physical sensor models for highly complicated imaging geometry. But RFM is algorithm to be required many Ground Control Points (GCP). In case of RFM of the third order, At least forty GCP are required far RFM generation. The purpose of this study is to research more efficient algorithm on GCP and accurate algorithm similar to RFM. The Polynomial Camera Model is relatively accurate and requires a little GCP in comparisons of RFM. This paper introduces how to generate Polynomial Camera Model and fundamental algorithms for construction of 3-D topographic data using the Polynomial Camera Model information in the Kompsat stereo pair and describes how to generate the 3-D ground coordinates by manual matching. Finally we tried to extract height information for the whole image area with the stereo matching technique based on the correlation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the image­based atmospheric correction models using the data from Landsat Enhanced Thermal Mapper Plus (ETM+) that have quite similar spectral characteristics to the forthcoming Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT)-2 Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC), and the in-situ measured surface reflectance data during satellite overflight. The main advantage of this type of correction is that it does not require in-situ measurements during each satellite overflight. While substantial differences are present between Top-Of-the Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance and in-situ measurements, the results showed that Case 1 based on COST model gives most accurate results among three cases. The accuracy of Case 2 is very close to Case 1 and its values are smaller than in-situ data. No notable features appear between some bands in the Case 3 and in-situ data. It is expected from this study that if the current methods are applied to the IKONOS high resolution data, we will be able to develop the suitable atmospheric correction methods for MSC data.
