Recently, great attention for environment changes of coastal regions due to climate change by the global warming has been raised. In addition, coastal environments which are very useful resources has been impacted by anthropogenic activities such as urbanization or fishery, etc. In situ measurements and remote sensing application using various platforms equipped by payloads with very diverse spectral resolution has been conducted to protect and reconstruct invaluable coastal region. In this special issue, several studies showing very interesting results of the coastal remote sensing in Korea. This special issue contains the research activities over the coastal regions in Korea has been performed by the KIOST Korea Ocean Satellite Center and academic organizations. We hope to share useful information on the various domestic coastal remote exploration activities and to contribute to develop scientific research to protect our invaluable coastal environment.

In this paper, an improved gradient direction assisted linking algorithm is proposed. This algorithm begins with initial seeds satisfying some local criteria. Then it will search along the direction provided by the initial point. A window will be generated in the gradient direction of the current point. Instead of the conventional method which only considers the value of the local salient structure, an improved mathematical model is proposed to describe the desired linear features. This model not only considers the value of the salient structure but also the direction of it. Furthermore, the linking problem under this model can be efficiently solved by dynamic programming method. This algorithm is tested for linear features detection in IKONOS images. The result demonstrates this algorithm is quite promising.

An approach for quickly updating GIS building data using high resolution remotely sensed data is proposed in this paper. High resolution remotely sensed data could be aerial photographs, satellite images and airborne laser scanning data. Data from different types of sensors are integrated in building extraction. Based on the extracted buildings and the outdated GIS database, the change-detection-template can be automatically created. Then, GIS building data can be fast updated by semiautomatically processing the change-detection-temp late. It is demonstrated that this approach is quick, effective and applicable.

Land cover map of 30 arc-second grid by NOAA AVHRR data for the whole Asia was produced by the authors as the project of the Asian Association on Remote Sensing(AARS). Land cover change monitoring of continental scale by satellite data needs preprocessing to remove undesirable factors due to noises, atmosphere, or the effect by solar zenith angle. The paper describes the method to remove these factors. The most important thing for better mapping/monitoring in the future is the accumulation of ground truth data by many land cover related researchers. The project of the development of Global Land Cover Ground Truth Database(GLCGT-DB) is proposed.

This study aimed to investigate the canopy growth conditions and the accuracy of phenological stages of paddy rice using ground-based remote sensing data. Plant growth variables including Leaf Area Index (LAI) and canopy reflectance of paddy rice were measured at the experimental fields of Chonnam National University, Gwangju, Republic of Korea during the crop seasons of 2011, 2012, and 2013. LAI values were also determined based on correlations with Vegetation Indices (VIs) obtained from the canopy reflectance. Three phenological stages (tillering, booting, and grain filling) of paddy rice could be identified using VIs and a spatial index (NIR versus red). We found that exponential relationships could be applied between LAI and the VIs of interest. This information, as well as the relationships between LAI and VIs obtained in the present study, could be used to estimate and monitor the relative growth and development of rice canopies during the growing season.

In this paper, the interferometric coherence was estimated and the amplitude intensity was extracted using the repeat-pass interferometric data, acquired by European Remote Sensing Satellite 1 and 2. Then discrimination and classification of surface land types in Zhangjiakou test site, Hebei Province were carried out based on the coherence estimation and the intensity extraction. Seven types of land were discriminated and classified, including in two different types of meadows, woodland, dry land, grassland, steppe and water body. The backscatter and coherence characteristics of these land types on the multi-temporal images were analyzed, and the change of surface features with time series was also discussed.

This study aims at integrating economic tools and remote sensing for environmental impact valuation of the Isahaya Bay Wetland (IBW). In doing so, we have used potential behavioral economic valuation technique: contingent valuation method and satellite remote sensing technique: land cover mapping. From the results of the study, we are able to bracket a range of values from (22 to 200 billion yen) for arriving at the true economic value lost due to the initiation of reclamation project on the IBW and would provide a new dimension to get nearer to the more accurate environmental impact assessment.

One of main concerns of operators of the Earth observation satellite is taking images as many as possible under the constraints of satellite resources during fixed period. In order to achieve this goal, satellite operators are strongly required to generate the optimized image collection plans, and it is a very time consuming process to achieve an optimized image collection plan when it is done by manual. This paper suggests automation of image collection planning based on the dynamic programming algorithm to reduce the time required for image collection planning. The validity of the proposed method is tested using operating satellite system and the result is given in this paper.

It was studied the relationship between the red tide occurrence and the meteorological factors, and the satellite monitoring for red tide. From 1990 through 2001, the red tide continuously appeared and the number of red tide occurrence increased every year. A common condition for the red tide occurrence was heavy precipitation 2${\sim}$4 days earlier, and the favorable conditions for the red tide formation were high air temperature, proper sunshine and light winds for the day in red tide occurrence. From satellite images, it was possible to monitor the spatial distributions and concentrations of red tide.

Recently, KARI implemented the receiving and processing system for MODIS sensor data from NASA EOS satellites (TERRA and AQUA). This paper shows the development strategy considered, system requirement derived, system design, characteristic and test results of processing system. System operation concept and sample image are also provided. Implemented system was proven to be fully operational through lots of pass operations activities from RF signal reception to level-1 processing.
