In this paper we present a detail approach of the determination of IFOV (Instantaneous Field of View) of high-resolution (l m) panchromatic satellite image over test site. IFOV is the representative measurements as the determination of the spatial resolution in remote sensed imaging system. It can be defined as some area on the ground with the particular altitude when the satellite acquires the image at any given time. Especially, spatial resolution of passive sensors primarily depends on their IFOV. The determination of IFOV goes through simple steps of procedure as followings: Firstly, the GSD (Ground Sample Distance) should be computed at each point on the geometrically corrected image. Then, The GSD is converted into the IFOV. So we are going to explain our test procedures and results.

Currently, a number of control points are required in order to achieve accurate geolocation of satellite images. Control points can be generated from existing maps or surveying, or, preferably, from GPS measurements. The requirement of control points increase the cost of satellite mapping, let alone it makes the mapping over inaccessible areas troublesome. This paper investigates the possibilities of modeling an entire imaging strip with control points obtained from a small portion of the strip. We tested physical sensor models that were based on satellite orbit and attitude angles. It was anticipated that orbit modeling needed a sensor model with good accuracy of exterior orientation estimation, rather then the accuracy of bundle adjustment. We implemented sensor models with various parameter sets and checked their accuracy when applied to the scenes on the same orbital strip together with the bundle adjustment accuracy and the accuracy of estimated exterior orientation parameters. Results showed that although the models with good bundle adjustments accuracy did not always good orbit modeling and that the models with simple unknowns could be used for orbit modeling.

The present study aims to design a multiplayer microstrip antenna with composite sandwich construction and to estimate structural behavior of this multiplayer structure for the next generation of structural surface technology. This is termed Surface-Antenna-Structure indicating that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials were selected considering electrical properties as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, antenna elements inserted into structural layers were designed for satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was $16\times16$ array antenna. From electrical measurements it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. Structural analysis showed this antenna structure was well designed for the mechanical rigidity. All constituent materials were characterized independently. The SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration for both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

The BeiDou is a satellite-based positioning and navigation system, which is under construction by the China Satellite Navigation Office. Until the June of 2014, the constellation of BeiDou navigation satellite system consists of 14 satellites including five geostationary earth orbit (GEO), five inclined geosynchronous earth orbit (IGSO) and four medium earth orbit (MEO). In this paper, we present the positioning results using BeiDou B1 code measurements obtained from three GNSS reference stations (BHAO, SKMA, MKPO). Combined Beidou/GPS positioning results are also compared to BeiDou and GPS only. BeiDou-only positioning errors for the east-west and north-south direction had less than 2 meter with root mean square (RMS) value. However, the positioning error for the up-down direction had larger than 10 meter at a 95% confidence level. Our results also suggest that the position precision is improved by combined BeiDou/GPS compared to BeiDou-only.

Time-mean and absolute geostrophic velocities of the Kuroshio current south of Japan are derived from TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data using a Gaussian jet model. When compared with simultaneous measurements from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) at two intersection points, the altimetric and ADCP absolute velocities correlate well with the correlation coefficient of 0.55 to 0.74. The accuracy of time-mean velocity ranges from 1 cm s$^{-1}$ to 5 cm s$^{-1}$. The errors in the absolute and the mean velocities are similar to those reported previously for other currents. The comparable performance suggests the Gaussian jet model is a promising methodology for determining absolute geostrophic velocities, noting that in this region the Kuroshio does not meander sufficiently and thus provides unfavorable environment for the performance of the Gaussian jet model.

To extract value-added products which are important in scientific area and practical life, e.g. digital elevation models, ortho-rectified images and geometric corrected images, Satellite Technology Research Center at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed a satellite image processing software called "Valadd-Pro". In this paper, "Valadd-Pro" software is briefly introduced and its main components such as precise geometric correction, ortho-rectification and digital elevation model extraction component are described. The performance of "Valadd-Pro" software was assessed on 10m resolution 6000 $\times$ 6000 SPOT panchromatic images (60km $\times$ 60km) using ground control points from GPS measurements. The height accuracy was measured by comparing our results with 100m resolution $DTEDs^{1)}$ produced by USGS and 60m resolution DEMs generated from digitized contours produced by National Geography Institute. Also, to show the superior performance of "Valadd-Pro" software, we compared the performance with that of commonly used PCI$\circledR$ commercial software. Based on the results, the geometric correction of "Valadd-Pro" software needs fewer ground control points than that of PCI$\circledR$ software and the ortho-rectification of "Valadd-Pro" software shows similar performance to that of PCI$\circledR$ software. In the digital elevation model extraction, "Valadd-Pro" software is two times more accurate and four times faster than PCI$\circledR$ software.ccurate and four times faster than PCI$\circledR$ software.

빙하 이동속도는 빙하역학 연구에 가장 기초가 되는 관측치로 기후 변화에 따른 해수면 상승 등을 예측하는데 매우 중요한 지시자이다. 본 연구에서는 SAR 오프셋트래킹 기법을 통해 동남극 테라노바 만에 위치한 Campbell Glacier에 대한 2차원 이동속도를 관측하였다. 이를 위하여 연구지역에 대하여 2021년 7월 9일과 2021년 8월 6일에 촬영한 국내 KOMPSAT-5 SAR 위성영상을 획득하였다. 선행 연구를 통하여 제안한 다중변위커널을 활용한 오프셋트래킹 기법은 해상도와 정밀도를 모두 만족하는 최적의 결과를 얻는 기법이다. 하지만 커널 크기에 따라 오프셋트래킹을 반복하여 수행하기 때문에 매우 집약적인 연산 능력과 시간이 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전략적으로 coarse-to-fine SAR 오프셋트래킹 방법을 고안하였다. coarse-to-fine 오프셋트래킹을 통하여 일반적인 오프셋트래킹 결과보다 해상도는 유지되고 정밀도는 향상(특히, 비행방향으로 약 4배)된 결과를 획득할 수 있다. 이 기법을 활용하여 Campbell Glacier에 대한 2차원 이동속도 영상을 생성하였다. 2차원 이동속도 영상을 분석한 결과 Campbell Glacier의 지반선(grounding line)은 대략 위도 -74.56N 부근에 존재하는 것으로 관측할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 분석된 Campbell Glacier Tongue의 흐름속도(185-237 m/yr)는 1988-1989년의 흐름속도(140-240 m/yr)에 비하여 증가하였다. 그리고 2010-2012년의 흐름속도(181-268 m/yr)에 비하여 지반선 부근에서 이동속도는 유사하였지만 Campbell Glacier Tongue의 끝부분에서의 이동속도는 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 이는 본 연구의 연구 결과는 28일 동안 발생한 빙하의 이동속도를 연간 속도로 환산한 것이기 때문에 발생하는 오차일 가능성이 있다. 향후 정확한 비교를 위해서는 시계열적으로 자료를 확장하여 연간 속도를 정확하게 계산하는 과정이 필요할 것이다. 이 연구를 통해 최초로 국내 X-밴드 SAR 위성인 KOMPSAT-5 위성 영상을 활용하여 빙하의 2차원 이동속도를 관측하였으며, KOMPSAT-5 영상의 coarse-to-fine SAR 오프셋트래킹 기법이 빙하의 2차원 이동속도 관측에 매우 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been widely used in navigation and orbit determination applications as we can obtain precise Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite orbit and clock products. Kinematic PPP, which is based on the GPS measurements only from the spaceborne GPS receiver, has some advantages for a simple precise orbit determination (POD). In this study, we developed kinematic PPP technique to estimate the orbits of GRACE-A satellite. The comparison of the mean position between the JPL's orbit product and our results showed the orbit differences 0.18 cm, 0.54 cm, and 0.98 cm in the Radial, in Along-track, and Cross-track direction respectively. In addition, we obtained the root mean square (rms) values of 4.06 cm, 3.90 cm, and 3.23 cm in the satellite coordinate components relative to the known coordinates.

Oceanic pycnocline depth is usually obtained from in situ measurements. As ocean internal waves occur on and propagate along oceanic pycnocline, it is possible to estimate the depth remotely. This paper presents a method for retrieving pycnocline depth from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery where internal waves are visible. This model is constructed by combining a two-layer ocean model and a nonlinear internal wave model. It is also assumed that the observed groups of internal wave packets on SAR imagery are generated by local semidiurnal tides. Case study in East China Sea shows a good agreement with in situ CTD data.
