This study has intended to analyze the nature of the errors that occur as a result of shadows during the process of NDVI calculation using high-resolution satellite images of Cheongju City, in order to calibrate such errors, and to verify the results. This study has calibrated the shadow errors by utilizing the relationship between the Greenness above Bare Soil (GRABS) calculated through Tasseled-Cap transformation and the original NDVI. To verify the accuracy of the results, this study has compared the shadow area extracted by the difference between before and after calibration of NDVI, with the original shadow area. The NDVI value converged on the value of -1.0, representing water, because shadow areas could not accept the reflection value from each band. However, after performing Tasseled-Cap transformation, the NDVI of shadow areas that had converged on -1.0 prior to calibration had increased to a level similar to the NDVI of neighboring areas. In addition, the average NDVI in general had increased from -0.08 to -0.01. Finally, the shadow area drawn out was almost matched to the original one, meaning that the NDVI calibration method employed turned out to be highly accurate in extracting shadow areas.

In very high-spatial resolution remote sensing imagery, it is difficult to extract the feature information of various objects because of occlusion and shadows. Moreover, various and feeble information within shadows can be of use in GIS-based applications and remote sensing analysis. In this paper, we developed a radiometric restoration method for shadow areas using KOMPSAT-2 satellite image. After detecting the shadow, non-shadow pixels nearby are extracted using a morphological filter. An iterative linear regression method is applied to calculate the relationship between shadow and non-shadow pixels. The shadows are restored by the parameters of the linear regression algorithm. Tests show that recovery of shadowed areas by our method leads to improved image quality.

Searching and enhancement of shadow area in the satellite imagery is one of growing interest because of new possible needs of application in this field. This paper proposes an algorithm to search and enhance the shadow areas caused by buildings such as apartments which are very common in Korean satellite imagery. The proposed searching algorithm makes use of characteristics of histogram of images in the spatial domain and also uses the fast Fourier transform and correlation in Frequency domain. Further, the enhancement algorithm is only applied to the shadow areas searched and preserves the areas which are naturally dark.

The purpose of this research is to seek solutions in reducing shadow effects of construction projects on neighboring areas and as its result, we have yielded methods as below to mitigate shadow effects. To eliminate shadow effects fundamentally, revising building layouts to eliminate shadow effects by obtain construction site as much as two point two times of its height. But it will cause multiple problems such as economic inefficiency due to lack of construction sites as well as small sites that are often located in zones that are mixed with highly dense commercial and residential areas along with plan more parks on northern part of the construction site. Therefore, it is recommended to proceed Environmental affect evaluation for shadow effects and gain its residents permission prior to construction or revising building layout. In the other hand, the sunlight collector, which is one of the newly developed recycled energy, has been proven to improve illumination expected to become a reliable solution when dealing with shadow issue in and around high density residential areas.

In KACC'91 and '92 conference, we proposed a method of automatically detecting the shape of the faulty holes in a shadow mask by use of CCD ca.mera and image data processing technic. In this method, two adjoining test areas from one image data. of the shadow mask are taken and comparing the shape of holes in these two areas, we can detect the faults in the shadow mask. In this paper, a method is described by use of spatial filtering of effectively finding the faulty holes from the difference image data between the two tested image data. The main role of the filter is to remove sampling errors occurring at the edge of the holes. And the second role is not only to find the existence of faulty holes but also exactly express the shape of faulty holes. Computer simulations and actual experiments with shadow masks have shown that this method of fault detection is very effective for practical use.

Recently a new concept of shadow prices, called average shadow price, has been developed. This paper provides a dual problem and the corresponding duality theorems justifying this new shadow price. The general duality framework is used. As an important secondary result, a new reduced class of price function, the pp. h.-class, has been developed for the general duality theory. This should be distinguished from other known reductions achieved in some specific areas of mathematical programming, in that it sustains the strong duality property in all the mathematical programs. The new general dual problem suggested with this pp. h.-class provides, as an optimal solution, the average shadow prices.

High-resolution aerial color image offers great possibilities for geometric and semantic information for spatial data generation. However, shadow casts by buildings and trees in high-density urban areas obscure much of the information in the image giving rise to potentially inaccurate classification and inexact feature extraction. Though many researches have been implemented for solving shadow casts, few studies have been carried out about the extraction of features hindered by shadows from aerial color images in urban areas. This paper presents a asphalt road boundary extraction technique that combines information from aerial color image and LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) data. The following steps have been performed to remove shadow effects and to extract road boundary from the image. First, the shadow regions of the aerial color image are precisely located using LEAR DSM (Digital Surface Model) and solar positions. Second, shadow regions assumed as road are corrected by shadow path reconstruction algorithms. After that, asphalt road boundary extraction is implemented by segmentation and edge detection. Finally, asphalt road boundary lines are extracted as vector data by vectorization technique. The experimental results showed that this approach was effective and great potential advantages.

Shadows are common phenomena observed in natural scenes and often bring a major problem that is affected negatively in colour image analysis. It is important to detect the shadow areas and should be considered in the pre-processing of computer vision. In this paper, the method of shadow detection is proposed using cross entropy and intensity image, and is performed in single image based on the satellite images. After converting the color image to a gray level image, the shadow candidate region has been estimated the optimal threshold value by cross entropy, and then the final shadow region has been detected using intensity image. For the validity of the proposed method, the satellite images is used to experiment. Some experiments are conducted so as to verify the proposed method, and as a result, shadow detection is well performed.

At the KACC'91 conference, we proposed a method of automatic detection of shape of the faulty holes of a shadow mask which is used in a cathode-ray tube of a color television. In this method, the image data are taken from two areas of the mask with CCD camera. Comparing the shape of holes in these two areas by use of a signal processing technique, we can find any fault in the shape of holes. This paper describes the effect of smoothing filters of effectively finding the faulty holes from the difference image data. A computer simulation and actual experiment with a shadow mask have shown that this method of fault detection is very effective for practical use.

This research shows how the perception of digital shadow work varies depending on the user's period of use of digital services in applications, which are key areas of digital services. The purpose of this research is to investigate how the digital shadow work type changes over time. This research adopted a qualitative research method for location-based service "help application" users and examined the change in perception from the app service acceptance stage to the app service continuous use stage with two-times interviews of ten users by a longitudinal research design. This study conducted a longitudinal analysis focusing on how digital shadow work occurs in the application subscription process, exploring phenomenologically how the type changes throughout the process over time.
