It is necessary to register precisely Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated from SPOT -5 stereo images in order to monitor the topographic and environmental changes of important topographic features such as Mt. Baekdu. The SPOT-5 DEM is registered taking SRTM DEM as a reference DEM. If SPOT-5 DEM is transformed with single 3D rigid equation, it has many errors. Therefore, this study extracted uniformly ground control points over study area and estimated locally adapted transformation equation. The accuracy of proposed method was evaluated with comparison to scale-based and GCP-based transformation method.

The geoscientists are very interested in a volcanic reactivity of Mt. Baekdu. Periodical observation and monitoring are thus needed to detect the topographic and environmental changes of Mt. Baekdu. It is, however, very restrictive to survey with difficulty of observer's accessibility in the field due to political problems. This study therefore is to produce digital elevation model (DEM) of Mt. Baekdu using SPOT-5 stereo images. The produced DEM is very not accurate because of using without ground control points (GCP). To correct the previously generated DEM, scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT) matching method is adopted with shuttle radar topography mission(SRTM) DEM of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL). The results of the produced DEM to SRTM DEM matching indicate that the corrected DEM from SPOT-5 stereo images has more detail topographic structures. In addition, difference of spatial distances between the corrected DEM and SRTM DEM are much smaller than non-corrected DEM.

In this study we applied a DEM generation algorithm developed in-house to satellite images at various resolution and discussed the results. We tested SPOT images at l0m resolution, EOC images at 6.6m and IKONOS images at 1m resolution. These images include the same urban area in Daejeon city. For camera model, we used Gupta & Hartley's(1997) DLT model for all three image sets. We carried out accuracy assessment using USGS DTED for SPOT and EOC and 23 check points for IKONOS. The assessment showed that SPOT DEM had about 38m RMS error, EOC DEM 12m RMS error and IKONOS DEM 6.5m RMS error. In terms of image resolution, SPOT and EOC DEM error corresponds to 2∼4 pixels where as IKONOS DEM error 6∼7pixels. IKONOS DEM contains more errors in pixels. However, in IKONOS DEM, individual buildings, apartments and major roads are identifiable. All three DEMs contained errors due to height discontinuity, occlusion and shadow. These experiments show that our algorithm can generate urban DEM from 1m resolution and that, however, we need to improve the algorithm to minimize effects of occlusion and building shadows on DEMs.

본 논문에서는 SPOT 입체영상을 이용하여 광범위한 지역의 DEM을 제작할 경우 DEM 모자이크 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 접합선(seam-line)을 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 지상의 60km$\times$60km 영역을 촬영할 수 있는 SPOT 위성의 입체 영상으로부터 구성한 단일 모델은 일반적으로 관심 있는 지역의 DEM을 제작하기에 충분히 넓은 지역을 포함할 수 있다. 그러나 광범위한 지역의 DEM 제작을 위해서는, 각각의 입체영상을 통해 제작된 DEM들을 접합해야 하며, 이 때 발생되는 접합선을 효과적으로 제거하는 작업이 필요하다. 이를 위해 SPOT 위성영상의 블록 조정 방법을 이용하여 종횡접합모델을 구성하고 중복되는 인접한 SPOT DEM간의 표고값을 일치시키므로써 DEM 접합선의 발생을 최소화하여 모자이크시 작업량을 줄이고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 지상기준점과 추가로 관측한 영상접합점을 이용하여 종횡접합 블록을 구성하고 광속조정 방법을 적용하여 블록에 포함된 위성영상의 외부표정요소를 계산하였다. 블록모델을 이용하여 DEM을 제작할 경우 접합선 탐색 및 blending 작업 없이 단순중첩 방법으로도 DEM 모자이크 작업을 빠르게 수행할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A new High Resolution Geometry or HRG imaging instrument is developed by CNES to be carried on-board SPOT 5. The HRG instrument offers a higher ground resolution than that of the HRV/HRVIR on SPOT 1 - 4 satellites. The field width of HRG is 60 km, same as SPOT constellation. With two HRG instruments, a maximum swath of 120 km at 5 m resolution can be achieved. The generation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from satellite stereo images scores over conventional methods of DEM generation using topographic maps and aerial photographs. This global availability of satellite images allows for quicker data processing for an equivalent area. In this study, a HRG stereo images of SPOT 5 over JECHEON has been used with Leica Photogrammetry Suite OrthoBASE Pro tool for the creation of a digital elevation model (DEM). The extracted DEM was compared to the reference DEM obtained from the contours of digital topographic map.

Increasing number and acquisition rate of satellite imagery promoted researches related with DEM generation based on satellite imagery. SPOT image gave us advantage to generate DEM which covers wide area of $60km{\times}60km$. In the case of rigorous sensor model of SPOT imagery, ephemeris data and several ground control points are need and requires arduous computational costs to produce DEM. In this study, using alternative sensor model based on Direct Linear Transform, we generated DEM using small number of ground control points. As a result, it was possible to acquire the DEM with suitable accuracy.

The purpose of this study is the GCP/DEM estimations through satellite stereo image interpretation using GPS. We carried out GPS observation fixing first order control points and GPS permanent stations. Comparing static surveying and kinematic surveying, we analysed the surveying methods for GCP and DEM estimations. As the results, considering SPOT image spatial resolution, the DEM can be made through satellite stereo image interpretation.

본 논문에서는 인공위성연구센터에서 수행한 아리랑 1호 EOCdud상으로부터의 DEM 생성작업에 관하여 보고한다. EOC 영상으로부터 DEM을 생성하는 작업은 기존의 인공위성연구센터에서 SPOT영상으로부터 DEM 생성을 위하여 개발한 S/W를 이용하여 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 DEM생성작업을 크게 카메라 모델링 단계와 영상정합 단계로 구분하여 논의한다. 카메라 모델링 단계에서는 SPOT용으로 개발된 카메라 모델링 기술이 EOC 영상에 적용될 수 있는지를 검토한다. 영상정합 단계에서는 EOC 영상으로부터 가장 우수한 성능의 DEM을 추출하기 위한 영상 정합 파라미터를 추출해낸다. 각 단계별로 EOC 영상을 적용했을 때의 결과를 SPOT 영상을 적용했을 때의 결과와 비교한다. 카메라 모델링과 영상정합의 결과로 EOC 영상으로부터 생성한 DEM의 최종 높이 오차는 약 19m(RMS)로 나타났다. 결론으로 EOC로부터 생성한 DEM의 성능을 SPOT 영상으로부터 얻은 DEM의 성능과 비교하고 향후 EOC 영상으로부터 DEM 생성 작업의 실용화를 위해 필요한 추가 작업들을 기술한다.

We carried out accuracy assessment for DEM extraction from the KOMPSAT-1 EOC stereo images over Daejeon and Nonsan in Korea. DEM generation divided into two parts. One is camera modeling and the other stereo matching. We used Orun & Natarajan's(1994) model and Gupta & Hartley's(1997) model in the camera modeling step and checked the possibility using Orun & Natarajan and Gupta & Hartley's models in EOC stereo pairs. For stereo matching, we used an algorithms developed in-house for SPOT images and showed that this algorithm could work with EOC images. Using these algorithms, DEMs were successfully generated from EOC images. The comparison of DEM from EOC Images with a DEM from SPOT Images showed that EOC could be used for high-accuracy DEM generation.

The purpose of this paper is to combine digital elevation models (DEM) using SPOT satellite stereo images. After DEM extraction, a grid of longitude and latitude is generated using the results of DEM extraction. Heights at each grid location are determined from the obtained DEMs by using triangular image warping interpolation that uses the heights of the three nearest neighbors. The final heights at each grid location can then be determined by using the maximum likelihood as a fusion strategy. The input images used in this paper are two pairs of SPOT stereo images and experiments show that heights of DEM are successfully fused
